Neo League 201 - #205: Yuri vs Ramon

Description: Ramon shows Yuri the power of Lucha Libre! (And creeps her out enough to get the TKO) (Winner: Ramon)



For the last few league fights Ramon's been through, he's usually ended up as the late one to the match... And tonight is no exception, either. Running through the streets of Metro City and trying not to look behind him, the luchador leaps over trash cans, scales fences and kicks off of dumpsters to get away from his pursuers, also known as the dreaded: Fangirls.
They must be following his scent, that's it! But how to disguise it without stopping? How to disguise it without rubbing trash on himself? How to disguise it without smelling like hobo urine? Wait, that's it! The sound of a train roaring through the city triggers that little angel on his shoulder with a day planner and a Weezer shirt, trying to remind him of the league match.
But the bored devil on his other shoulder, with nothing but a paddle-ball and brimstone, tries to take over and convince him to let the smells and sounds of the subway hide him from his following. The both clash, and he dives into the subway anyways. Flying down the stairs and into the mob of businessmen and women getting off for the night, Ramon weaves through the crowd, trying to get himself lost in the rush of people, idly looking for the women he was supposed to square off with. It's not too hard to distinguish fighters from business-suits.
Nor is it too hard to distinguish a 5'6" blonde Mexican wearing neon green and black from the rest of the crowd, either.

Yuri doesn't look a thing like a business-suited person, that's true! Clad in her white and blue outfit, a new pair of loose white socks adorning her calves, she's waiting about and around for her league match. Here, ten minutes ago.. no sign of her fight. She's chit-chatting with the Neo League official when Ramon runs int the crowds of people wanting to go home - not looking bored or upset - in fact, the longer she gets to spend away, the better.

"Oh, hey! You're my match, right? Yuri Sakazaki, nice to meetcha!" Yuri's smile is open, friendly and honest - she's certainly willing to give the man the benefit of the doubt. After all, he's out of breath, and has the look of 'AUGH!' on his face that she's seen before. She doesn't have too many fans, herself - lucky her! "You alright? We can wait for a few minutes, and it'll be mostly quiet till the next train - that okay with you?" She's trying to be conciencious, to give Ramon a few minutes to catch his breath. Plus, less crowds mean less chance of punching the wrong person!

Ramon hears a voice and turns on his heel, a bit out of breath no worse for the wear. Stamina is a must for the art of lucha libre, and energy is one thing this luchador has no shortage of. "Ah, senorita Yuri, a pleasure!" The wrestler gives a deep bow, one arm across his stomach, the other across his back. "My name is Ramon, as I'm sure the official has told you." The wrestler grins at the balding, glasses-adorned man, who in turn just sighs and looks at his watch. He's been the official in half of Ramon's matches now, and he's been late to both of them! How can this man ever expect to make it in the league like this?
"As for me, I am fine, senorita. As fine as you are." Ramon takes Yuri's left hand and gives it a small kiss, rising to flash a bright grin. How can a man with an eyepatch still be charming? "No need to worry about me, senorita. We shall begin whenever you wish." With a wink of his eye, a small gear starts working in the back of Ramon's mind. Every rotation, it just says, 'Please don't be another teenager, please don't be another teenager, please don't be another teenager.' After all, his last few matches have all been against 16 year olds. What is it with these underage fighters nowadays?
But hey, it's not his fault Yuri looks older than she is.

Sadly! Yuri is a teenager, and a flattered one at that! It's quite easy to see why Ramon would be able to gather a large fangirl base, what with the whole kissing people's hands and talking suavely to them. Eee! She's a bit blushy, but she's still not going to go easy on him! "Flatterer! You'll get my dad mad with talk like that - careful! He's big into making people do pushups." She extricates her fingers, and then settles into a loose fighting stance.

"I'm not gonna go easy on you! Give your best, okay!?" She gives Ramon a thumbs-up, then approaches. What's the best way to open up? Well, duh! Of course, it's with something super-cool, a extreme sort of martial arts move that'll take her over to him, a leaping kick that involves her feet flying in a set of roundhouse kicks, one-two-three! "Let's GO!! HYAH!"

Ramon scratches his head just a bit in confusion before the match starts. "Dad?" *WHACK* *WHACK* *WHACK*
Ramon is caught off-guard by an aerial triple kick. But his reflexes kick in within seconds, causing Ramon to grab the last offending foot and turn sharply, trying to send Yuri into the ground.
Hopping back and dropping into his fighting stance, Ramon shakes his head a bit, still a bit startled. "You're a quick one, eh? Well this should be fun!" He says with spirit in his voice and a bold grin.

COMBATSYS: Ramon successfully hits Yuri with Medium Throw.

"Fast Enoouaaaagh!"

Not -quite- fast enough, obviously. Yuri's trying to re-chamber her foot as she spins on that last swing through - sadly, it doesn't work at all, and she's grabbed, tossed to the cement with a thud and an oof-sounding thing! AUUGH.

Getting back to her feet slowly, she takes a moment to shake her ankle back into shape, and then braces her hands at her sides. "Fun indeed! That was a great throw!" She's not willing to give up, so well - time to bust out the special guns! Her hands come forwards, and then red-gold chi blaze out of them, a large sphere of energy blasting right towards Ramon's head. "KOU'OU KEN!"

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Ramon with Ko'ou Ken.

Ramon gives a chuckle at his opponent's antics, trying not to let his guard down. But of course, he /does/. Caught in the face by a monstrous ball of OWCH, Ramon is sent tumbling back, flipping up onto his feet using the momentum. He skids to a halt and blasts off for Yuri without wasting time. At least... He /thinks/ that's Yuri. A few sparks of stray chi are caught in his eye, and while they'll shake out in a few moments, he doesn't have time to stop.
Ramon takes a slight turn, heading for his foe's right. When it looks like he's going to pass her by, Ramon leaps up and twists, sending his left foot towards Yuri's face at an odd and unpredictable angle.

COMBATSYS: Yuri dodges Ramon's Rolling Sobat.

"Hey, put yourself out!"

Yuri looks concerned as she sees him start to come right at him, scary, scary thing! Perhaps she should focus more on the fight, and less on worrying about her opponent! As she leans in, the foot whips _right_ past her ear, catching and yanking her hair braid to the side. "YIPE!"

She braces her foot - it's an awkward sort of thing, after her half-dodge, and instead of trying to smack him high, she drops down to a crouch, puts both her hands on the ground, and tries to simply foot-sweep him with first her left foot, then her right! Hy-hah!

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Ramon with Strong Kick.
- Power hit! -

Preparing to turn and head back for Yuri to try again, Ramon suddenly feels his feet pulled out from under him, and in the next instant, he feels his head being smacked with a sledgehammer. That, or a young girl's foot. Either way, the same result happens.
Sent sprawling across the subway, the wrestler pushes himself back up to his feet and spits a bit of blood to the side. He gives a grin, shrugs, and shakes it off. "Lady luck's been cheating on me lately..." He bolts for Yuri again, preferring to be up-close and personal when it comes to his style of fighting. Ramon grabs for both of Yuri's shoulders before taking a full spin and using the momentum to hurl Yuri... Straight down, head and shoulders first.

COMBATSYS: Ramon successfully hits Yuri with Tiger Neck Chancery.

Ramon            1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0             Yuri


Eee! Her personal space has been invaded! She'd normally be horribly .. not concerned by this at all, but today, she's in a fight! And that fight involves her getting grabbed - spun, and then squooshed against the ground. Not good! Not good at all!

From her position down on the floor, she's not sure what to do - she's done the footsweep, and that worked well - but she needs to stay up off the floor! She kicks-up back to a standing position, and then just brings her hands in, trying to grab his shoulders as well! "Try THIS!" She goes for the shoulder - and if she can get it, she'll fall back - and try to toss him over her body! *heft*!

COMBATSYS: Ramon blocks Yuri's Silent Nage.

Ramon            1/------=/=======|=======\-------\0             Yuri


Ramon allows Yuri to go for his shoulder, and even go so far as to toss him. It's really just an aftereffect of getting hammered in the side of the head, but the dizziness will wear off. Hopefully.
But Ramon is a professional wrestler, not some rookie. He knows how to deal with throws, and moreso, how they work. He instinctively tucks and rolls, most of the force being shunted off of him and allowing him to roll onto his feet with ease. Smiling softly across the subway, Ramon takes a few deep breaths and reaches into his pocket for a fresh orange.
Why is it there? Why isn't it smushed? Another mystery of Ramon. Digging into the skin with his fingers, he starts peeling and tossing scraps into the trash. Taking a bite, he looks up to Yuri... Waiting...

COMBATSYS: Ramon drops his guard to recover.

".. That looks really good..!" Yuri's loathe to attack someone who's hungry, and munching on something. Especially since she was hungry as well! Stomach rumbling, she debates the wisdom in leaping into another attack - and it's still so very, very tempting. "Maybe you have another one?"

It's a rhetoricall question, though - she's not going to be able to stop attacking just for a bite. She leaps upwards, inwards, and flips her leg out in a wide arc - again, once, twice, three times! This time, it's a hopping arc, though - it'll be hard for the guy to get out of the way, mwah-hah!

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Ramon with Chou Mawashi Geri.

Ramon's orange is kicked away from his hand. "Hey." Is all he can say in irritation before he's kicked into the pillar behind him. Dust pools out from the light Ramon-shaped crater, followed by the luchador himself. "I was eating that." He says in mock-anger, rushing Yuri and grabbing for her neck.
Should he get it, he'll push in an attempt to loosen her footing, causing her to flip, then jam his knee behind her back and thrust with it, completing the flip and sending her sprawling onto the floor.

TumblethumpcrunchCRASH. ".. ow."

Yuri isn't moving for a moment, and instead very focused on the joys of looking at the concrete of the subway station. It's so pretty - and then she realizes she's fallen cheek-first into some gum. Ew. EWWWW. Struggling back to her feet, she stands, dizzy and shaken.

"S.. sorry about your orange. Won't do it again.." she says, nodding firmly. Yeah, that's the ticket. Be good, yeah.. *wobble* She'll be with you in a moment, mnhmn.

COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

Ramon            1/----===/=======|=======\==-----\1             Yuri


Ramon tilts his neck to each side, a few cracks and pops emanating from his bones. "Hope so, senorita. Where I come from, wasting food is a tragedy." Ramon manages to flash that bright grin, still, and drops into his fighting stance. Alright, so what's she gonna do for a retaliation? Let's watch!

COMBATSYS: Ramon focuses on his next action.

"Alright! Alright! I'm ready! Thanks for giving me that few seconds, Ramon. I owe you!"

Yuri gives Ramon a big 'ol thumbs-up, and then steps in once, and twice. Fingers curl up at her side, then blast outwards. Time to show him what Kyokugen is all about! Her hands spread wide, vertically, and between them , red and gold springs to life! Violently foreceful, the ball of pure spirit blazes forwards, directly towards the wrasslin' man! Let's see how he handles this!!

"HAOH SHO KO KEN!"

COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Ramon with Haoh Sho Ko Ken.

Ramon gives a thumbs up back, smiling brightly. And then he's a smoking crater somewhere in the vicinity of the cola machines.
Which are now ash.
And so is that puppy. Don't you feel bad now?!
Ramon pushes himself out of the crater of pain, coughing up quite a bit of ash, which /used/ to be his shirt. He tries to shake it off and smile, but in truth, that's just not happening. So without any words, since it hurts to talk, Ramon summons the last of his adrenaline and runs for Yuri one last time.
There's a flash of light from Ramon's hands, kind of a manifestation of his power, but it should blind Yuri just long enough for him to... Well... Slap her. Really hard. Hopefully dazed from this as well, Ramon spins around twice, his arm shooting out with the intent to lariat Yuri to hell and back.

COMBATSYS: Yuri fails to interrupt Tiger Spin from Ramon with Yuri Chou Upper.

"YURI CHOU UP..."

Ow. She didn't quite get herself out of that, no she didn't. In fact, she quite manages to get herself caught up into the throw, tossed about by the lariat, and tumbling into the ground a few feet away. Onto the orange. Augh! The stain will never, ever come out of her outfit, no, no it won't.

To her feet, to wobble unsteadily. Still standing, she faces Ramon, and then beckons him on. "C'.. c'mon. Show me what you've got left.." she says - she knows it can't be much - because she has _nothing_ left. At all.

Ramon strides over to Yuri and gives a light sweeping motion with his leg, trying to unbalance Yuri off her feet. But that's not all, No! Ramon places an arm behind her knees and back, rising to hold her like a newly-wed bride. "Senorita, you fight admirably! But in the end, this world of ours is not meant for the quarrels and quandries of such menial things as power. No! The planet is ours to spread about with wonder and awe. For that... Is the power of Lucha Libre!" He bites the inside of his lower lip and a tear comes to his eye as he nobly looks on, a glorious beam of light shining through the roof onto our Mexican hero... And then he picks some of the orange off of Yuri. "Mmmf, It's still good. Ten second rule."

COMBATSYS: Ramon drops his guard to recover.

".. Okay. Very wierded out now."

Yuri's hefted up and speeched at, looking emberassed, flustered and well - out of sorts! This is not the fight she expected and in many ways, she's pretty sure that she's going to regret ever having agreed to battle the Luchadore! There's one quick way out of this - and she's about to take it!

"REEEEF! I lose! I can't fight! I've lost, get me OUT OF HERE!" Yuri bounces and wriggles in Ramon's arms until she wriggles free and then tries to get over to the Neo League ref to show that she's done and can't fight no more! That's it, nope, no more power of Lucha Libre for her!

It's creeeeeeeepy!
