Description: Two fighters battle it out on a cruise ship. One of them rocks the boat a /little/ but is ultimately overcome by the other's more electric performance. (Winner: Benimaru)
Long story short, another League Battle is about to take place, and it takes two combatants on the top deck of a huge cruise ship. Perhaps to no suprise there aren't many people on board, it's pretty cold out, but the hardcore fight fans are at least gathered at the sidelines of the otherwise cleared out deck. And at least it's sunny, that perks things up a bit as well.
The two fighters, Krizalid and Benimaru, hopefully are pretty much ready to start, the blonde model is at least, idly flirting with some of the female fans to pass the time. He's in a suprisingly good mood, and dressed fairly normally in a beige trenchcoat over a turtleneck shirt and black pants.
Very short indeed.
The NESTS executive does seem to be rather anxious to start, himself. He's standing back near his edge of the sectioned off area of the boat meant for battling, just rocking forward and back, watching Benimaru like a hawk. This was a former member of Team Japan he was fighting, and thus, someone worry of his attention. He must be something of a formidable fighter if Kyo Kusanagi was willing to team with him for so long, right? Krizalid will see for himself soon enough. And hopefully, even if he finds things to be contrary, he'll at least be able to get -some- data out of fighting with the tall blonde.
In any case, when the signal is given that they are to begin, Krizalid bides his time and casually goosesteps over to Benimaru, testing his reflexes with a simple punch aimed for his ribs when he finally reaches the other man.

Oddly enough, Benimaru just isn't picking up any signs of the battle starting, and when the girls try to warn him that his opponent seems to be coming, he's still yammering on about whatever it was he was talking about. However his eyes do narrow slightly suddenly but by then it's too late and the fist meets its mark, sending him staggering to the side to keep from knocking his company overboard, "Rrgh!" shifting on one foot to turn to Krizalid, he rubs at the struck area, "Would it have really been that much trouble to just tap a man on the shoulder?" he murmurs in an annoyed but amazingly gentle tone; and he doesn't even wait for an answer, the model darts forward and reaches for Krizalids shoulder- Should he get that hold he's forced down into his opposite palm, getting a nasty electric jolt as a reward, threads of electrical chi dancing about his wrists and encasing the brown-skinned man in blue, "Hyah!"

Benimaru 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Krizalid
Krizalid chuckles to himself behind the collar of his trench, "Just not the way I do things. And besides, this at least proves to me you know how to take a hit." Implying of course, that at first glance, Benimaru looks like a poser! It looks like the younger model is already poised to get a small bit of revenge for it, either way. The only problem is, when Benimaru grabs him and starts pumping electricity into him, the darkly tanned Irishman doesn't even make so much as a grunt of pain. In fact, in the midst of it, while he's still getting zapped, he reaches out for the front of Benimaru's jacket and tries to pick him up by it. Electricity is still flowing freely down the sleeve of his own jacket, but he's still got enough coordination to start lifting the other man. And should he get far enough, he's going to suddenly slam him down onto the deck.

That was certainly different, with Krizalid still moving during his technique, it doesn't take long for him to realize something is wrong here. And so he's lifted upward, but as he's thrown downward his knees tuck in and he rolls away neatly as soon as he hits the ground and is up to his feet just like that, "Interesting, not many people can shrug that off," Benimaru murmurs, a slight frown still on his features, "Allow me to show you /my/ style then,"
Benimaru sways to the side and then rushes forward, attempting to slam throw his arms around Krizalids waist and if he can, squeezes sharply and snaps backward into a quick snap suplex.

Krizalid is silent on the matter, it seems, after Benimaru manages to recover from the attempted chokeslam. He'd be a little more cocky about it perhaps if he were able to stun the blonde just a little bit more than he did. Throw him off his game.
The Irishman raises an eyebrow as Benimaru frowns at him like that and then proceeds to dodge around behind him suddenly, though. "Oh?" The man then throws himself back along with the suplex, and catches himself on one hand just when it looks like his head is about to impact with the ship's deck. "Hmph." He rolls away from Nikaido after that, and stands up to dust his hand against the front of his coat, right before he snaps out a swift kick and tries to sweep the other man off of his feet. "Come now, you must have more style than -that-!"

Benimaru 0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0 Krizalid
.. Annoying. Benimaru is trying to get a little focused so that he can read Krizalids moves better; sure his opponent isn't the slowest in the world, but failing to 'predict' properly isn't going Benimaru any good. Caught in the back of his foot, Benimaru end up planting flat on his back, stunned for a flat second, and again rolls back to get to his feet with a wince, "Ah, is it a little more flash you're looking for?"
The model smirks slightly, and gives the exact opposite, pressing forward again in a slightly crouched position and attempts to smash his shoulder into the other mans gut; and if he's lucky enough to get that, stands up sharply, ideally throwing Kriz up- And then down, "Patience is a virtue!"

Benimaru 0/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Krizalid
Krizalid pauses long enough to let the other man get up, and seems willing to wait even longer than that rather than looking for an easy dodge or even putting his guard up. Because Benimaru gives him an inkling that this next attack will be flashy. Except that, in the NESTS agent's opinion, it's really not. And that's why when he goes to all that trouble of hanging back and waiting for the perfect opportunity to totally overpower the other man? He misses his window, and it never happens. He was expecting much more! That did kind of hurt though. "Agh!"
Benimaru hops lightly to twist around and face Krizalid again after his throw, an almost smug smile forming on his lips then- It would seem he didn't even notice Krizalid was trying to do anything else, having been moving quickly and all- And he doesn't give his opponent any more time to think, he keeps moving, "Oh dear," he murmurs in amusement, and as soon as he's close enough, twists yet again with a classic sobat-kick as a start off, another twist into a roundhouse kick, "I dind't think," and finally he snaps upward, backflip kicking and hoping to strike two more times, one with each foot. Yet that's -still- not all, after he lands from that, a slender bolt of lightning snaps up from below as that little exclamation point to knock Kriz back further, ".. you'd fall for that one. I guess you showed me!"

Benimaru 1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Krizalid
Krizalid is quick to kick back to his feet and get back into some semblance of a combat stance, raising his guard to stop each of Benimaru's kicks. And while they don't seem to hurt him through whatever shielding he must have beneath that heavy coat, the little lightning bolt that comes from below still does. Just a little bit. "Hn. You're growing just a bit too sure of yourself for my liking, Benimaru."
Saying that, the darker man begins to raise one leg up in front of him, showing off the fact that he must be quite a bit more limber than he probably appears. And when he brings it down and digs the heel of his boot into the deck for a moment, a great swirling wind is summoned, which threatens to come crashing right in on the tall Japanese. It looks rather nasty too, like the winds themselves are sharp enough to cut and slice at a person. "Amai!!"

Benimaru 1/------=/=======|=======\-------\0 Krizalid
Benimaru is a little disappointed, perhaps he was expecting to much to land a clean hit just like that, but it /did/ seem like there was a clean opening if he could have moved fast enough. A light 'tch' passes his lips, and he leans back slightly, electrical sparks popping around his right hand.. But he changes his mind at the last moment, raising his left arm that suddenly flashes sporadically with chi when the wind slams against him, causing him to scuff his nice shoes a bit when he's forced back, "Oh really," the model replies in a bit of a playful tone, and floor squeaking lightly as he snaps forward again, hair whipping behind him.
The models right fist thrusts forward again, this time it exploding with electrical power moments before contact and threatening to slam into Krizalids gut to knock him back /and/ give him a good hard shock in the process, "Though I confess that isn't my fault, I do seem to be smacking you around pretty well right now.. Or are you just a masochist?"

Huh. Krizalid hadn't really expected to see someone use electrical chi to beat back his own powerful wind chi. And he's actually stunned enough that he isn't quite ready for Benimaru to come at him as suddenly as he does. That tornado was supposed to last quite a bit longer, after all! The silver-haired executive tries to dodge at the last minute, but it proves to be a bit late, and he's struck harder than he probably would have had he just stood there and taken it like a man!
"...OW." He sure doesn't look like he's getting any pleasure out of being jolted with electricity, so that should likely answer Benimaru's question for him. Although, perhaps it is a bit of a mixed message, as the next thing Krizalid does is back off a little, throw off his coat, and then make a beckoning motion at the blonde.
COMBATSYS: Krizalid focuses on his next action.

If that didn't bolster Benimarus confidence though.. Nothing wood. There's a look of utter satisfaction when not only does he connect, but the bright chi just explodes in a way that's much more pleasent to the model.
And when it dies down, the model raises his gloved hands once more, the little bolts dancing about his form still, "Why thank you," he murmurs, "But you may want to clean yourself up a bit first," hand slipping into his pocket, he spins around smoothly and whips an object like a discus at the darker man.
The object? A small powder-box, and should it hit, it bursts open with white powder flying everywhere, "You look dreadful."

Krizalid looks quite a bit more impatient now with his coat removed, and in fact, though he just seemingly offered the other man a free shot, he doesn't allow him more than about two seconds to collect. He just suddenly, rears his head back and explodes. A pillar of crimson flame shoots up around him, and the entire cruise ship is rocked as he slashes his hands forward and throws out a massive fiery X. The box of powder Benimaru just threw at him it turned to goo in its wake, and it pops and sizzles as it hits the deck in front of the NESTS operative. "How does this strike you then!!"

".. Damn, I was rather fond of that," Benimaru murmurs with a slight frown.. But if that was the case why did he throw it?
Shut up, that is why!
Benimaru can't even pretend that he isn't impressed, and while many spectators fall over or grasp desperatly at the siderailings, Benimaru sways a little to keep his balance as his jacket and hair whips back from the even stronger gust that follows the wave of fire, "... Hmn," Baby-blue eyes widening and bareing his grit, pearly-white teeth, Benimaru dashes forward, a small orb forming in his right palm that sizzles and pops- He then thrusts his palm forward, and four long, slender strands of lightning crash down at the man, followed by a tremendous explosion of white, black, and dark blue electrical power; not exactly boat shaking, but the lights about the ship either flicker violently or just flat out explode; the fireworks-like explosion completely engulfing the 'X' and trailing toward Krizalid like a chain of landmines going off in mid-air, "RAIKOU KEN!!!"

Benimaru lets out a small huff of air after that outburst, and then glances upward as if pondering what was previously said.... And then asks, ".. I'm sorry, did you ask something?"
That did not just happen. He went -through- the X? Right through the middle, which is supposed to be the strongest point? What the hell is with that chi? Maybe Krizalid should start trying to get in close enough to do something more than simply get struck by it, because his suit has obviously been having trouble adjusting to the voltage. Like right there, that was almost too much. Enough to blur the darkskinned man's vision for a moment after getting punched by the model's electriic fist. "Nngh." No more words. Just kicking. He's going to try and kick the blonde right in the throat.

Benimaru 0/-------/--=====|=======\-------\1 Krizalid
Benimaru has plenty more where that came from. Brushing off the sleeves of his arms a moment, the model takes a moment to pretty himself up. And he's actually very suprised to see that Krizalid is still standing after that, "Impressive, I thought for sure you'd be down," he murmurs, though it's uttered rather quickly since Krizalid is busy striking back with the intent to really hurt the model. And the kick does land, an astonishingly fast and painful blow, but on the other hand it only assists him in his already leaning back into a flashkick, feet darting up and slamming one toe after the other under Krizalids chin, carrying him upward, and then another slender bolt of electrical chi snaps up at the mans back.
THough even after that he has to pause to hold his throat- Nothing too damaged luckily, but cripes he didn't expect such a simple attack to hurt that much, "... *cough*."
Krizalid is actually surprised he get a solid hit himself, but then, that's really nothing new. He's always been afraid of failing. And it's because of previous experiences just like this one, where so much goes wrong for him. Before he can even get his leg lowered completely, the NESTS exec finds himself kicked in return as Benimaru backflips at him and catches him under the chip with a foot, and then he gets cooked just a little bit more by a lightning bolt. No, he most definitely doesn't seem to like pain from the way he growls this time, just before planting on his face against the deck. But then, just as he's about to get counted out by the fight official, he pushes up to one knee. And without even fully rising to stand he breaks into a run at the blonde, attempting to grab the other man by the front of his clothing and shove him all the way to the railing along the edge of the boat farthest from both of them. And there such /desperation/ in his eyes...

But Krizalid just doesn't have that much fight left in him, it turns out. From the wild look in his eyes, you'd think he had power enough to at least get Benimaru all the way to the railing, but his legs give out from under him just short of it, and he has to just weakly shove the tall blonde man away from himself as he ultimately falls over onto his side, hissing loudly as part of his suit begins to short circuit and shock him. Piece of junk!
The desperate eyes of Krizalid.. While the spectators and even Kriz himself may not notice it, that look strikes deep. Very very deep, as it wasn't that long ago, that he used that same look in his battles.
It's almost enough to make him not react, but the fighters instincts don't allow that, he stepping forward and crossing his arms in front of him as he's pushed back, his shoes with suprisingly good enough grip to resist until Krizalid finally falls. Panting lightly, the rather arrogant model stares down to his opponent and really doesn't make a big deal of the sparking suit, ".. You were suprisingly more pleasent to fight this time around, K',"
Benimaru slips his hands into his pockets, his expression falling more neutral, "Too bad you let yourself get outsmarted, you could have won."
