Description: Boy - that was a dumb title. Vega tries to lay the hurt down on Kim and his lov.. er, student, er.. fri.. er, whatever, Xiangfei! Amusing ancedote - second wind off a Psycho Crusher Prime gives back 47% health! (Winners: Kim and Xiangfei)
The Kim Dojo! A safe haven for all those that love peace, justice, and good old-fashioned martial arts! And occasionally, silly Chinese women who barge in challenging the owner Kim Kaphwan to duels to see which is greater: Guts or Justice!! Of course anyone who knows anything knows the answer to that one, but good man that he is, Kim humors her whenever she comes around! It's the least he can do, after all. The poor soul.
But, he doesn't have to deal with /that/ right now. Right now, Kim is training in the open area of the dojo, enjoying the cool air as he executes a series of fluid kicks through the air, graceful but full of their own power. It's just another part of the long series of training Kim does every. Single. Day. Usually he has Chang and Choi accompany him in this pleasant, soul-healing ritual but sadly, they're off training with Jhun in Korea.
He imagines they're doing rather well!
Finishing off another series of kicks, Kim takes in a few deep breaths. It's always invigorating to work out like this, after all! And he can't imagine why anyone, /anyone/ would think differently. He just needs a small break right now, before he can start his jumping jacks. He might up them to four hundred today, depending.
Or DOES HE?? It's not long before Xiangfei busts in, and throws her arms out, "KIM KA-" a pause..
The Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey is gussied up again in serious china-wear, in her silk pants and blouse with a totally sweet dragon emblem on the back of the blouse. Her hair? The bells, GOTTA have the bells.
Anyway, she looks around a moment and then makes an effort to close the dojo doors, first the left one.. And then the right one. *shuuunk* *shuuuuunk* *clop clop clop clop clop*
...
...
...
*pitta patta pitta patta* *WHAM* The doors go flying open, and the proud chinese warrior cries, as the sunlight gleams once more in the dojo, "KIM KAPHWAN!! I, Li Xiangfei have returned! ... A third time!"
Sadly, into every life, every sunny day, a bit of rain must fall. In this case, the rain is more metaphorical and perhaps a bit emotional, a moody melancholy that settles upon the soul and weighs it down like an angora sweater drenched in the blood of your enemies. One that clings to a body and sucks it under the weather, to bury it in sorrow, and pain. At least, this is how Vega normally feels. It's what fuels him, and gives him power - all those dark emotions that people normally spurn and ignore make him strong. That is the aura he puts off, a warning sign for those that stand in the area, a notice to all that 'I am angry, beware!'
He approaches the Kim dojo for a reason - he's been waiting to find a good time to explore the option of crushing the man of Justice again, to wipe clean the frustrations of a battle that never, ever occured in his mind, the psychotic Shadaloo man ignoring it like a pesky rash that just won't go away. Out of sight, out of mind - though his vexed expression would probably speak volumes of how angry he truly is about it.
He pushes the doors to the Dojo open a few moments after Xiangfei enters, easily visible, blocking the sunlight streaming in, refusing to hide or diminish his greatness in any way. After all, all should be able to see it, and understand his powers - and those that don't will be demonstrated it in the most violent way possible. He steps forwards, onto the mat, crushing his footprints in with his heavy tread. His voice is deep, dark and mocking as he addresses the two who stand there.
"I believe.. I would like a lesson from you and your ..student, Kim Kaphwan."

*shuuunk*
Kim pauses, just as he's about to begin his jumping jacks.
*shuuuuunk*
His eyes narrow. Fingers twitch, and curl into fists. So... it's time again, is it? Yes. Time again...
*clop clop clop clop clop*
He closes his eyes, and nods solemnly. He knows... what he must do.
*pitta patta pitta patta*
He spins around, eyes full of life, a finger jutting forward!!!
*WHAM*
"So we MEET AGAIN, Ms. Xiangfei--" Wait. That feeling. Someone else is here. And it's not... "Ms. Xiangfei, please step back." His legs slide shut. He might not be a psychic, but he KNOWS that feeling. He's felt it before. That man in red. "And please... be ready to fight." /SLAM/ go the sliding doors to his establishment. There's no way he could mistake that power, because sure enough... there he comes. An outfit of crimson and pure white eyes, an attitude that just SCREAMS injustice.
"She is no student of mine, sir. She fights with a power just as great as mine, and I'm sure she could teach you a thing or two. Now please, get out of my dojo." He falls into a more combat-ready stance. Kim is prepared. "Before I remove you."

Xiangfei walks toward Kim wearing nothing but an apron and a smile with a tray of cookies in her hands! ...
That's not really true though, "I have a question," Xiangfei then explains calmly, completely betraying her rather dramatic entrance. It was dramatic, right? "I tried o- eh?" standing aside isn't much of an issue for her, by the mans side at this point as she looks to the newest entrant, a rather new face in her eyes. All's cool until Kim drops into his fightin' stance, and her eyebrows quirk curiously, "Hey what's up with that? If he's wants to fight us both, I say bring it on! Man, that's like, psycho though!"
And it was deemed so. Before they were opponents. Today, they are allies. Some serious shizznit is about to go down!

Vega doesn't throw back his head and laugh. That's for _after_ Kim and his .. not student.. fall down into the crushed tatami, and plead for mercy. It hasn't happened yet - but it will. After all, their might cannot in any way compare to Vega's - and he will prove that today.
"If she has such power, she can show it to me as well. Perhaps she would do well, under my tutelage." There's a evil chuckle after that, which might lead to thoughts of just _what_ he means. Whatever it is, it certainly isn't good! He takes slow steps towards Kim, and then stops in front of the warrior of justice. For now, Xiangfei is ignored - and Vega simply rears back a hand and takes a backhanded swipe at Kim's shining smile, his fist flaring up with a thick aura of psycho power.
"Today, I crush you, your dojo, your friend, and anything that you hold dear."

Xiangfei's confidence brings a smile to Kim's face. She doesn't know how powerful this man is -- but Kim does. But maybe that's exactly what this fight needs.
"Of course! That's like, psycho indeed!! Let's show him why you don't mess with Justice and Guts, Ms. Xiangfei!"
That's when that backhand comes flying his way, infused with the fire of Vega's hatred. Two hands snap up to intercept the attack, pain burning in his arms for only a moment before he THRUSTS the arm aside. "You will crush nothing! Not while Justice thrives!!" And then, from there, Kim lifts a single leg in the air... and then SLAMS it down. Xiangfei should know what's going to happen next. The ground around them rumbles, as if an earthquake were rocking through the dojo, to knock Vega /right/ off his feet.
"OORYAAA!!"
Woahs!! That was exactly the move Xiangfei had wanted to try! What really pumps up the Hip-Hop Honey though, is Kims appraisal not so much for her skills, but the power of Guts in general, she's totally all for that!
.. She thinks Vegas clothes look funny though. Catching sight of Kims set-up, Xiangfei actually leaps upward, quite immune to the strike! And she twirls around, sending a spinning heel-kick toward Vegas shoulder, "You're off your rocker! You need to chill on the comic-book lines!"

Justice _and_ Guts. Hmn. This may be something that Vega _does_ look for. A violent reaction to his presence, a strong amount of spirit to attempt to stand in his way - and a firm block that stops his hand from connecting with the side of Kim's face. Very, very fascinating indeed. He withdraws his hand, and watches the foot come up - and then begin it's descent down. At that point, he simply seems to vanish into darkness - even though there should be none in the brightly light day. The purple psi that represents Vega moves faster than any man rightly should, and gets him easily out of the way by the rumbling of earth, the quiet afterwards only serving to make Vega's mocking more easily heard. "Slow."
Xiangfei's attack is given more attention - whether this is good or bad is an exercise to the viewer. It does, however, mean that he puts more than a modicrum of effort into the stopping of her attack, reaching up to push his psycho-powered fingers at the foot a second before it reaches full extension and edging it off course. At that point, he attempts to grab and toss the girl by her ankle - aiming her, of course, at the ground by Kim. Might as well keep the lovely couple together.
Slow? Kim's fastest attack, slow?! Oh, that simply won't do, that will not do at all! He'll show Vega, not out of hatred or spite, but out of determination and resolve -- the true strength of Justice!!
"The only thing slow here is your spirit!" ... okay, maybe that doesn't make sense. It's deep, okay? It DOESN'T HAVE TO.
Still, that doesn't change the fact that Vega is now rushing towards Xiangfei. Kim, of course, tries to stop the man before he can succeed, rushing towards him with all his being. "Huuuuuaaaaaaaah!!!" And as soon as he's close enough, Kim will simply LEAP into the air at impressive heights, to descend upon Vega in an attempt to land a series of fast-flying kicks to the side of his head! One, two, three, four in total, before he slams a single foot against the Shadaloo dictator's shoulder to push /off/ him and away.

Xiangfei does a little trick that just completely defies gravity. It is the fabled DOUBLE jump! As soon as Vegas hand touches her foot, Xiangfei suddenly hops upward again, using that little bit of momentum for the leapfrog that escapes the bad mans grip, "Hup!" and then with a flip just grazing the ceiling, she lands on her feet now on the opposite side of Vega. She doesn't look too smug about it, she would admit there was a factor of luck in that rare techniqe, but there's nothing rare about what follows, and that's a blur of hand motions that ends with her punching her fist into her open palm, muttering under her breath. Translated could possibly read as 'hold on to your butts'

Less than pleased with his attempt to throw the girl against the floor, but impressed by the amazing leap, Vega growls under his breath and starts to follow the girl, to follow up on the attack so recently missed. There's the matter of Kaphwan, though - a tingling at the back of his neck as he remembers, oh yes, there are more than just him and Xiangfei in this fight - and the Minister of Justice! must be paid attention to as well!
And pay attention he does! As the kicks come in, Vega stands tall! Stands proud! And just grins as the rain of kicks crash in against his face, knocking his head from side to side with the first three, the fourth on his shoulder sending him backwards. One might think he was staggered! Weakened by the attack! But in reality, he was just maneuvering for a better place to attack from - and with the distance given, he's now given an opening that he speedily takes. He also makes a few hand motions - mocking the girl, as he doesn't truly need him, but the psychopower that wreaths his hands flare and climb, suddenly leaving, forming into a ball of energy that he holds, and then winds up to throw at the Justice! master.
"Good - now see _my_ power!" he screams, to .. well.. noone in particular!

Xiangfei seems to be preparing for something, so... Kim must carry on! The attacks crash into Vega's head, but he seems to just take 'em all like a man, and Kim is suitably impressed. Of course -- he knows this man is a monster. He's seen it first hand! So, even as he flips backwards, he tries to be prepared -- but he's certainly /not/ prepared for what Vega does next.
Arms snap up rather suddenly in an attempt to block that orb of pure hatred and disgust, that ugly Psycho Power. But the orb simply crashes THROUGH his defenses as if they were nothing, sending the Korean flying violently through the air and crashing into the ground next to him, wiping his brow as smoke rises from his body. But still, even though that attack has wreaked havoc on him...?
With one flip, Kim is back on his feet.
"It will take more than THAT to beat me! Your power is nothing compared to the power of Justice!" Yeah! For right now, though, Kim tries to steady his gaze on the other man... and get a better idea of his movements.

... That was so totally not cool. In fact, if LiX had a word for Vegas taunting, she would call it 'lame'. Instead she just grumbles a bit, ".. that's not even right.."
She gasps in shock of awesome power of Vega though, with an orb that crazy it's no -wonder- that Kim was sent flying back like that! Man! "All right, it's ON!" Xiangfei declares, storming at Vega now and with a quick arial cartwheel to close in the distance- She charges shoulder-first into the man one she's close enough, "HAH!" It's an extremely simple-looking technique yes, but.. It could work!

"Nothing? My power is more than you can ever hope to comprehend, 'Master Kim'." Vega turns his back on the man as he speechifies himself, instead starting to focus on the girl. After all, she has been preparing herself, gathering power and expressing something akin to 'I'm gonna git you sucka!' He braces himself, and takes a step to the side as Xiangfei rushes him. There's a moment, a second where he _almost_ looks to be caught up in the bumrush by the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey, but instead, he simply falls into a roll in front of her, matching the speed of her attack and simply staying _just_ out of range.
"Good. Good! You're faster - stronger. I almost took an effort into that.." he says to her as he falls - and then he pulls his feet in, and up - to try to plant them in the girl's stomach, and send her flying over him in a throw, fueled by her momentum and his psychopower. Here's hoping!
There goes Xiangfei, rushing off again. And Vega is trying to attack /her/ again too. If anything... Kim knows that's a very, very bad thing. Having just been fried by that power, it's all Kim can do to make sure that LiX at least has assistance. So -- away goes the Defender of Justice! Feet stomping against the ground to raise up his determination, Kim THRUSTS forward a hand...
And gives a MIGHTY THUMBS DOWN.
"And Justice is something that you can never be greater than!!" And from there, Kim simply /leaps/ into the air, a mighty jump that sends him high, nearly touching the ceiling. And from there? He'll descend /right/ on Vega, intent to nail the man with a series of rapid-fire bicycle kicks aimed at the larger man's head and shoulders. "OOOOOORRRYAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"Grrr.. You smug, cocky," Xiangfei grumbles as Vega once again interrupts her Mad Skills with Even More Mad Skills. Vega was just proving too fast for her, which would mean things called for a slight change of plans- She didn't want to be completely useless to Kim after all! But man, how would she even find an opening?
But then two things happen. First she is TOTALLY inspired by Kims bigs thumbs down, and Second, Vega ends up planting that foot into her gut, knocking a bit of wind out of her. But!
There's a huge cloud of dust that bursts behind her, and instead of upward on the mans foot, she bursts forward and -then- upward, slamming her shoulder for sure into the big man, "HaaAAAH!" and carries him up with the momentum, flipping away afterward and landing on her feet with a dramatic kung-fu pose! "GUTS!!" she cries!!!
Then doubles over, holding her stomach as she cringes, ".. No seriously.. That hurt my stomach.." she groans.

Battered and bruised by that crushing shoulder and the ground after, Vega is impressed more than he thought possible. The pummeling of the young woman is something he hasn't felt since.. well, since his last battle with his Doll! This brings a giant grin to his lips as he feels the crush of power against his frame, the waves of purple energy that swarm around him swelling as he begins to return to his feet. And appears to be far, far too slow. He gets to his knees, just as Kim's Giant Foot of Justice! slams into the back of his neck, dropping him right back to the floor. Again, however, he rises. And this time, he simply stands in wait, bracing himself and letting that dark power rise up, setting his hands alight, and grinning at the pair.
"Justice and Guts.. I should have not taken this so lightly. Prepare to feel my _full_ wrath, then." And with that, he beckons - not so much with words, nor actions - but instead a flexing of that psycho power, the dark aura swelling to fill more and more of the room, like a thing alive.

"You underestimate a lot of things sir, not the least of which being the human spirit! Ms. Xiangfei and I will show you /that/!" Even as that Psycho Power swells around the large man, making that dreaded sensation almost /palpable/, Kim stands his ground firmly, looking towards his new ally, his new partner against injustice. A superhero duo, you could say! And, what does Kim do? He stretches out his hand, and gives Xiangfei a nice, solid /thumbs up/. "I think it's time..." His legs spread out, /totally/ at the ready for whatever might come. His lips split into a grin -- a grin that SHINES.
"... for a Guts and Justice doubleteam!!"
AW YEAH.
And it's at that point, Kim intends to rush at Vega and snap a single leg upward, to smack against his chin. If it connects, it will quickly swing downward to smash into the back of his head, before Kim uses his foot to push /off/ the dictator and fly towards a safe distance -- meant to be a distraction, to either let Xiangfei attack, or prepare -- whichever!
Vegas full wrath? His true power? Xiangfei half-expects very to suddenly transform and grow fifteen feet tall or something.
Lucky for her though, she doesn't, and there's a little bit of satisfaction there when Vega -seems- to be considering the power of 'Guts'. Of course she also hasn't a clue of just how dangerous that actually is though, and in such a case ignorance will either be bliss, or -147 health.
Feeling a little better now, she sweatdrops, her gaze briefly shifting to Kim, "... What's up with that weird chi?" she asks, though he may not have heard her. Which is cool, because it's time for something that's much more important! How exactly will Xiang play in her part of the double-team? Well, she claps her hands togeather, splays her fingertips out, and then dashes toward Vega as well, "HaaaAAAAA!!" a bit of a weak effort to try and overwhelm Vega not with a strike, but the sheer intensity of her chi that suddenly roars to life, a golden pillar swirlin and twisting about her form at that very moment. Needless to say, she comes to a stop before she would have pseudo-struck, but maybe she gave Kim the moment he needed..

Vega attempts to move - truly he does. Instead, he falters, floundering like a fish out of water. He's slow, rusty - and certainly not ready for even such a paltry attack such as Kim's JUSTICE! The first kick swings his head up, the second smashing it to the side, and the leap sending him into a stagger, a surprised look on the Shadaloo Master's face. He clutches at his chin, trying to regain his composure. And still, he fails.
"This .. cannot be possible. What _IS_ it about you?!" he shouts, froth and blood on his lips - someone's just this side of snapping, and should probably chill and take a breather - which he seems to do, realizing that the next attacks will be critical.
What IS it about Kim?! He'll tell Vega what exactly, even as he flips away!
"It is my drive to fight for something greater than you will ever understand! You can never prevail over justice!! Now... let me heal your wounded soul..." He lands on his feet besides Xiangfei even as that power erupts around her, offering the brightest of grins.
"... with my TAE KWON DO!! KYAA!!"
Yes. He is entirely serious.
Nevermind he doesn't even know this man's name! That much doesn't /really/ matter. What /matters/... is that he needs to be taken down, and quickly, before he can unleash those devastating techniques of his again. But first -- "That is not chi. I'm not sure what it is, but one thing is certain... it is not power like you use." Or Kim uses, to a lesser extent. "I've felt something similar... in two other people. Sie Kensou, and Alma Towazu." Whether the names mean anything or not doesn't matter, because -- "It's time!! HUUAH!!" And then, he'll leap forward once more, this time -- an open palm thrust imbued with JUSTICE, followed up by a vicious roundhouse kick to the man's side.
Xiangfei just grins to Kim, nodding her head a bit with his rather inspiring speech. She had no idea that this man was so.. So... COOL! Though the line about Tae Kwon Do, uh.. Ok, it was rather cheesy, but dag-nabbit, Kim makes it work!
Once Xiang is all totally rared and ready to go after summoning up more chi-tastiness, "You've got to be -kidding- me! I hate that stuff!" She's fought Kensou soo many times, but at least she has a warning so she doesn't try anything too crazy. ... Yet. Xiangfei pauses for just a moment for Kim to lay on his palm thrust, Then twirls around and attempts to slam her heel against Vegas foot for the quick sweep! "KYAAH!"

"Interesting. Very interesting." Vega's certain and calm now, focusing his rage and pain into a very deliberate series of efforts. The first, a hand coming up to slap at Kim's fingers, the second being the raising of a knee in an attempt to block the roundouse that comes in. It works, for the most part, the slap of shin to shina violent, nasty sound. From there, he sees Xiangfei's attack coming in - and reacts. A jump, to bring himself high up, landing atop of the girl's shoulders with both feet, heavy crush of shoes into her collarbones. And there he stays. To cackle, and gloat. ".. I believe I have the high ground, now. You will not last much longer!" But he's weakening. It can be heard in his voice, and the flickering of his aura.
His assault -- blocked?! Well, honestly... considering this ruthless man's skill, it's not too terribly surprising. Instead, what IS surprising is the fact that he leaps UP onto Xiangfei's shoulders in a move that is most certainly painful -- Kim knows, he's felt it himself. His response, is simple; he comes to Xiangfei's rescue. As soon as he leaps away from Vega, he is already rushing towards the Guts! Defender and the paragon of injustice himself, with every intention of LEAPING through the air to tackle Vega -- whether Xiangfei gets out of his vicious kung-fu foot-grip or whatever it is, or not. From there, Kaphwan has every intention of grappling Vega by the shoulder and leg, twisting around in midair... and CHUCKING him straight towards the ground. "ORYAA!!"
Frei has arrived.
Xiangfei believes the appropriate word for this situation is... Pwned. Vega just took the phrase 'walking all over' someone and took it to the literal extreme! Xiangfei goes smashing into teh floor so hard from the stomp, she could have sworn she'd go right through the floor, and with a grunt, she struggles to get out from under the man, going as far as to even try and whack him in the shin with her elbow, flailing a bit, "Nng.. Aaargh.. Get off of me!!" she yells. Though she's not sure what hurt more. The press, or Vegas awful pun that follows. Though perhaps Kim will save the day, that would be cool!
Because man, that dude was heavy.

From the high ground, he watches. From the high ground, he waits. From on top of Xiangfei's shoulders, he prepares.. And again, is not _quite_ fast enough to stop the assault of Kim's giant feet of fury. He doesn't really block LiX's assault, no - it's more to the fact that he's just been YANKED off her shoulders and THROWN to the ground. That's really what happens, landing on the floor of the dojo with a crushing blow.
He gets back to his feet - still slower, always slower. He takes a second, and tries to catch his breath, winded from the attack of 'Justice!' and 'Guts!' "Hnn.. Hnn.. You both fight well - Far better than my last opponents." Luckily, they don't know who they are - that would be a high compliment indeed, if they were to know!

Vega is... taking a break?! This won't do! Oh no -- this won't do at all! Injustice cannot be shown mercy, after all! It is the only way that it can be healed! So that's why, when he lands next to Xiangfei, he gives her a nod of his head. "Are you alright?" He's sure she is, though, which is why his head whips around to stare at Vega, eyes narrowed and legs tensing. "Xiangfei! It's time for this man to be shown the power of Justice and Guts!! Are you with me?!" Of course, regardless of her response--
"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu--"
Kim charges in like a crazy man.
"--aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
Leaping through the air, Kim seeks to deliver one, devestatingly powerful jump kick -- aimed straight for Vega's rather large cleft chin, with more than enough force to knock him right into the air.
Xiangfei manages to get to her feet and thank goodness for that, she rubs her left shoulder with a wince, and then grins weakly to Kim, ".. Thanks," she mumbles, before turning to face off with Vega again, a bit more of a determined expression on her face, "Well -yeah-," she shouts back, Justice and Guts? Man, combined, it's pretty smash-tastic! What Kim doesn't know though, is that Guts -is- the superiour brand. He'll find that out soon enough. e_e
Dropping into her open-palm stance she blinks, noticing one heck of an opening! It uh.. Looks like an opening anyway, "Yes -sir-!" she shouts back to Kim, and she runs along side the Tae Kwon Do master, shouting, "Justice and Guts! Two great tastes!!!" well it could go one of two ways. If Vega -is- sent flying upward, a cloud of dust bursts behind her, sending her up as well with an astonishingly strong leaping kick, another burst has her drive her elbow up into the tagged spot, and finally continuing to break the laws of gravity, frontflips in mid-air with a hardcore heel-kick to the shoulder!
The other way? Well, the setting jump-kick is done by herself. It's still cool. Honest! :( "That tastes great togeather!!"
COMBATSYS: Vega blocks Xiangfei's Chou Pai-Long.

There it is. Vega is launched into the air, and Kim? He's not far behind, either. His brown eyes BURN with determination, even as Vega goes /flying/ upwards. And with one mighty leap, he comes after the man, titanic leg muscles tense like iron before...
"KYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
... proceeds to roundhouse kick the crap out of the Shadaloo Lord.
No, seriously! Kim just starts launching roundhouse kick after roundhouse kick after roundhouse kick in midair with no sign of stopping, driving Vega further and further downward before, with one mighty SMACK he pummels the man STRAIGHT towards the ground with a most mighty of kicks, landing beside Xiangfei with a look of absolute drive!
"You cannot win today. Please leave before you do any further damage to yourself."
This is a phenomenal amount of beatdown. Again, Vega attempts to throw his hands forwards, to block the attacks that come in a flurry. Again, he fails to avoid the most painful ones, each one blowing through his defense, and sending him into the air, with the power of Justice! Roundhouse after Roundhouse batters at him, keeping him airborne in some sort of juggle, until he starts to fall, gripped by gravity once again.
And then Guts! take over The elbow to his sternum is a spike of pain, the kick to his chest even more so - and a final crushing blow by the girl's heel spiking in against his chin sends him crashing down. Into a heap, beaten, broken.. And angry. So very, very angry.
"You may crush my body, You will never destroy my spirit. Let me show you what true power is.." And with that, he gets to his feet _again_. Unsteady, but deadly dangerous. As he sees the pair standing together.. he cackles, throwing his head back, laughing - almost falling backwards from the effort.. then tumbling forwards.
However - he never hits the floor. Mere inches from the ground, his body bursts into that dark purple aura, and he launches himself directly at the pair - determined that if he is the loser.. that they will lose as well. And in the end, he'll leave - running away or vanishing - broken and beaten by the pair. But the wounds he nurses will build his pain and rage - and make him all the stronger.
COMBATSYS: Vega can no longer fight.

True power?
"Your spirit..."
Kim's eyes narrow, even as he frowns. The frown... of disapproval.
"... Is /WEAK/."
But it seems that Vega is intent to show them his power one last time, in an impressive display that Kim has seen before. As Vega bursts forward, Kaphwan has every intention of simply /blocking/ the man's last attempt at breaking the Guts and Justice Duo, but alas -- his guard simply isn't strong enough. That terrible power bursts through it, sending the Korean Legend flying through the air as Psycho Power burns his body. But even with that immense pain, even with that immense power?
Kim lands on the wall of his dojo, feetfirst.
"And that is why you can't win!!" Though... he doubts Vega is there to hear him. Kim is much more concerned about his partner-in-justiceguts -- Xiangfei. Brown eyes dart to her, even as he launches off the wall, landing in a crouch and breathing heavily. Is she alright...?
COMBATSYS: Kim takes no action.

Uh... Holy crap? The 'farewell' speeches of sorts catches Xiangfei a little off-guard, though why that's even the case is even beyond her! It's cliche', yet.. Vega makes it work. Xiangfei is smirking a little, arms crossed as she believes Vega will crash to the floor but the joke's on her! Her eyes widen and she takes a slight step back when Vega comes bursting toward her, "HOLY CRAP!!"
And everything from that moment on is kind of a blank, she tries to just tough it out, she's done it against Kensou before this can't be much different right? But holy crap does it hurt, lost in a wave a psycho power in pain she never thought possible. Just.. lost in the oddly colored 'flame' Xiangfei goes flying backward, smashes through the wall of the dojo and there's a loud clatter of something ceramic breaking.
There's a long moment of silence after that, insinuating Xiangfei may be dead! Though she's not really she's just.. Well.. in pretty bad condition.

She's not really dead of course though, for the girl comes LEAPING through the hole in the wall, tears streaming down her cheeks, cuts and bruises along her arms and chest, her cheeks a bit swollen and other battle-trophies littering her body, but she poses, on arm in the air and the other by her side, "Ha HA!!"
