Neo League 201 - #224: Benimaru vs Mary

Description: Blue Mary takes on Benimaru in the Masters Arena! (Winner: Blue Mary)



The Neo League seems to be still going strong, in some places more than others. The fight fanatics just can't seem to get enough, which may explain why the Masters Arena is currently packed. Considering the contestants this evening though, that really isn't much of a suprise. It's a pretty good day for a fight as well, it's certainly no summer day, but the hints of spring are showing with the slightly warmer weather this afternoon.
Benimaru Nikaido hadn't fought in the Masters Arena in a very very long time. He'd forgotten how nice a spot it was, just perfect for fighting. But his attention isn't so much on the surroundings as it is the cheering crowd, that puts him in such a delighted mood. When his name is called and he raises a hand in the air, every fangirl in the area releases an ear piercing shriek, only making his blood boil more. However his opponent this evening is a mystery to him, he simply just gave an open challenge, and had heard that someone had responded to this challenge.
Benimaru's dressed pretty much as one would expect, his hair done up in twin pony-tails, he sports a scarlet, silk shirt that's tied at his midsection, and darker color shorts, black boots on his feet that seem more appropriate for hiking rather than fighting, "Very well then," he ponders aloud, a slender hand raised to his chin, "Who will my opponent be today?"

"I am going to be your opponent," A loud voice comes from behind him. Seems like the other fighter is right here in the arena as well. Clad in her usual attire, working brown boots, dark blue comfortable jeans and her red sport bra, Mary lifts her hand up and she tightens up her fingerless gloves a little. She arches a brow and spares a glance over to Benimaru, a tight smile growing on her lips, "Huh, looks like every young male adults I get to fight all are the same. Blonde, blue eyed pretty boys, huh, it almost saddens me to have to give those pretty faces a few bruises," Mary says, her intonation making it sound half teasing.
The blonde woman heaves a soft sigh and she shakes her head a little -- of course, Blue Mary has her share of fans in the crowd, though considering how shortly she's been in the Neo League, the crowd must be mostly cheering up for Benimaru. "At the very least, you're not a schoolgirl, that gives you a few extra points in your favor," Mary admits with a soft chuckle.
Mary stretches and once she's done, she lifts her hand up and points a finger in Benimaru's direction, going straight to business, "Are you ready?"

Benimaru glances toward the source of the voice.. A female? The model wasn't really sure if he should be happy or sad about that, he never particularly liked hurting women after all; but many of them did provide an excellent challenge to him. This time likely wouldn't be any different, "Schoolgirls? Many of them are quite talented these days," he murmurs in his usual soft tone, he tightening his own fingerless gloves; but with a flick of his wrist, a thornless rose appears in his hand, "I'm sure your previous opponents were nowhere near as successful as I am, of course." he adds, "You'll see soon enough that I'm their inspiration, /the/ pretty boy. As for if I'm ready,"
The rose is tossed toward Mary, a light chuckle passing his lips, "May this fight be as beautiful as yourself, Miss. Ladies first."

"Huh-huh, well let's see if you're all talk and nothing in the pants," Mary simply says with a soft chuckle as she leans foward and she gets ready. After all, Benimaru seems to be a sweet talker. Though from experience, pretty boys seem to have a tendency for pulling out incredible stunts in battle and so, Blue Mary remains wary. And since Benimaru offers her to take the initiative? Well Mary can hardly refuse such a thing after all. Pretty boy or not, she's going to fight to the best of her ability.
Mary's eyes widen and just as the official calls the match has officially begun, she dashes straight for Benimaru, "Kyaaah!" Mary shouts as she hurls her fist right for Benimaru's midsection. This is only an attempt to make Benimaru bend slightly and if she does manage to make him flinch, she'll reach out for his head with both of her hands and quite literally swing him over her and slam him down to the ground.

The model seems pretty much intruiged if anything, he doesn't recall having seen this woman fight before; so he suspects she must be new to the league, if anything. Leaning back slightly, Benimaru raises his fists almost like cat paws;
And really, Marys first attack doesn't look difficult to defend at all, but that just goes to show how much he knows. His arm sweeps out to deflect what looked to be a simple punch, but it's apparently so much more, he hisses as he leans to the side, in perfect position to be slammed to the ground right after, hitting the ground with a heavy thud. Judging by how he stares at the sky in disbelief, it's clear he wasn't expecting that result, ".. That was unpleasent," he murmurs with a light shake of his head, and then as he gets up, his right palm forms a small orb of chi, "Impressive.. Mary, is it? There's more to you than meets the eye, just as I had predicted," his left hand reaches to try and grab Marys shoulder, and if he gets that hold, the right palm swings up, slamming the orb into her gut to give a heck of an electric jolt before releasing her, "HAAH!"

"Glad you liked it," Mary simply retorts to Benimaru as he muses toward the sky. Unfortunately, Mary leaves herself open for Benimaru and he manages to get a hold of her shoulders fairly easily. The blonde woman's eyes widen a bit and she takes a step back, lifting her arm up to absorb the orb of chi in her forearm instead of her gut and she groans in pain.
Mary shakes her head a little and she says, "You can call me Blue Mary..." Her arm still jerks a ltitle with a few jolts of electricity, feeling slightly nub from the surge of electricity that still courses through it but she tries to get back her composure.
Considering how close they are to one another, Mary figures she might as well use this opportunity to grapple Benimaru -- as of sort, Mary lifts her right hand to hold Benimaru's hand and she lifts her other hand under his armpit. If she suceeds to hold him still, she'll turn around on her heels quickly and presses her back to his, bending over to force him on her back and then she'll use her hips to force him off of her and slam him down to the ground yet again.

"Blue Mary... I like it," Benimaru murmurs, and that's good, it would seem Mary can defend herself pretty well against his attacks, "You're tough, I like that in a woman," Beind in close quarters may not be as bad for Benimaru as she might think. When his arm is grabbed, his foot shifts back in retaliation. Unfortunatly he gets clumsy, stumbling right into Marys plans instead, facing away from the woman and then faceing the ground face first.
Cheeks redenning a bit in embarassment, Benimaru quickly gets to his feet, rubbing his chest lightly, "... Let's try that again, shall we?"

Mary can't help it but chuckle a little at Benimaru's words. She straightens herself up and allows him to recover from his fall. She folds her arms in front of her chest and she says, "Well, that's a good thing. Know what? I'll tell you a secret," Blue Mary says, "There's one thing that really makes me melt in a man, something I find very sexy... Know what it is?" Mary asks, arching a brow.
Once Benimaru is back on his feet, Mary dashes right toward him and she lunges at him, attempting to give him a powerful elbow shot right into his midsection, "It's when a man can actually manage to get on top of me! You know, that's no easy feat!"

This.. Is something new compared to most of Benimarus fights. A secret? Benimarus brows raise in obvious interest, though there may be the feeling that Benimaru would listen to pretty much anything she had to say anyway, good or bad.
What follows though, catches him a little off-guard, he's not even sure he heard that correctly, ".. Pardon?"
He really doesn't know if she's joking around or not, so rather than dance around it, much like he dances around the elbow jabbed his way with a quick spin to suddenly be behind her, "Did I hear that correctly? That really wouldn't be to difficult a task for me, you know.." in fact, to demonstrate, he attempts to slip his arms under her arms, and then clasp his hands togeather behind her head, a full nelson with a tight jerk before release.

Of course, Mary had to expect that Benimaru would actually attempts to turn this in his favor and throw her down. It had to be expected. That's why Blue Mary is ready for him and she tries to turn the grapple in her favor and end up being the one throwing him down once again but... Unfortunately, unlike the two previous time, Mary's attempt proves to be rather unsucessful and she falls right into Benimaru's submission. Mary groans a bit painful, unable to even look up over to Benimaru.
Her lips curl into a smile and she says, "The hard task is keeping me down after," Mary says as she struggles to try and get out of Benimaru's grasp, but alas! She's caught in his full nelson it seems.

"Ahh, I see," Benimaru murmurs in turn, a bit of a playful flash in his eyes, he notices the struggle, but it looks like the lock is on pretty tight, not bad. He's no grapple master of course, but some holds are pretty essential in shootfighting, "'To the victor, the spoils', is how the saying goes? Well then, I didn't have any intention of losing beforehand, but," the hold is released, and the blonde model slips in front of Mary again- Doesn't look like he wants to hit her in the back, he snapping a quick backhand to Marys side, "There is simply no way I can let you gain the victory now." and he winks.

Well that quick backhand seems to be a rather painful one. Mary groans a little and she staggers back a little, almost seeming to lose her balance for a moment. She pants and she glances up at Benimaru, growling a bit in annoyance at how things have turned out for her in the past seconds. Her lips curl into a smile and she says, "Well, it's a good thing... Because me neither," Mary admits as she lunges on Benimaru and attempts to give him a quick high kick right for his left shoulder, "Kyaa!"

It looks like Benimarus luck is turning back to the better now, though the model is actually more relieved that Mary is breaking out with nasty tricks that cause him pain that he isn't all that fond of.
Actually that's only the half truth, the punches Mary throws are pretty invigorating! Her high kick comes in contact with the back of Benimarus fist, his lips pursing a bit as he leans with the blow, "I see, you know there's a word for women like you," he notes, and he goes for a one-two combination, swinging his opposite fist toward Marys midsection, followed by a second blow with the opposite fist, "'Tease'. Mind you that isn't a bad thing, but you're supposed to be the one falling for me."

Mary takes a step back after her blocked kick and she tries to regain her balance quickly enough to defend herself. However, she fails to do so and Mary groans a bit as Benimaru slams his fists twice into her midsection, causing her to move backward even more. She pants loudly and she lifts her arm up to clench against her abdomen, groaning and glaring at Benimaru, "Huh, you think so?" She asks, tilting her head to one side.
"Well, I'll make sure to make a good job as a tease!" Mary says as she takes a step foward and she leaps up in the air. High enough that she seems to fly over Benimaru without even touching him, however, her feet actually attempt to get a hold of his head and squeezes it tight. If she suceeds, Mary then sends herself foward, with that scissor sort of grasp of Benimaru's neck, she'll simply make him flip all over and slam him hard against the ground.

Benimaru chuckles lightly, "Oh dear, well then.." Mary isn't the only one who's having some slight difficulty with their defenses, granted Benimarus is a bit more critical at this point. Benimaru just thinks that Mary is leaping over him to try and strike from behind, so he leaps up, and again falls right into Marys trap, twirling up high and the impact of the crash causes a large cloud of dust to shoot up into the air.
To Benimaru that didn't feel like your ordinary slam at -all-. That was extremely painful, and he's likely going to be feeling that one in his ribs for a while now, "... Augh.." he sputters, his right hand crackling with electrical energy, "Well, this isn't looking too good for me now, is it? I guess I'd better pick up the pace.." Breathing picking up, Benimaru sprints forward, and then snaps his fist out, but before that fist tries to slam into the woman, it suddenly bursts with electrical power, the glow intense as he cries, "Raijin KEN!"

Mary's worse enemy -- projectile attacks. Whatever they are, it would seem that Mary has some problems with those blast of energy. She rises back to her feet and her eyes widen a little. She attempts to evade the incoming blast but unfortunately, she fails to do some. The shock causes her muscle to tense up and twitch with the electrical stimulation. She groans in pain and she pants, staggering back, dazed by the surge of electricity that runs through her body. "Huh..." She lifts one hand up to her forehead and shakes her head a little. "Well... That's not too bad.." She says with a snort. She lifts her gaze up to Benimaru, giving him a glare, "But... As I said... Doubt you can make me stay down..."

Benimaru wriggles his fingertips, slender bolts of lightning sparking and dancing about his form as his eyebrows raise a bit, "... Hmn? I'd say it was much more than 'not too bad'," Benimaru replies, raising his free hand to his chest, "I'd dare say it was beautiful, a magnificent display of power, grace, and beauty. On the other hand," the elestic bands snap from his ponytails, letting his hair fall, "You've missed out on your chance to become victorious. I'm not losing."

Lips curling into a tight smile, Mary tilts her head to one side and she shakes it a little to Benimaru and she says, "This isn't over yet," She says. The woman takes a step back and she says, "I'm far from done! Don't think I'll let victory slip!" Mary shouts. She rushes straight for Benimaru and she attempts to perform a feat of agility by avoiding him and getting right into his back. If she suceeds, she curls her arms around his chest and she lifts him up from the ground, to suplex him over her head.

BlueMary         0/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0         Benimaru


Definatly an interesting move, but Benimaru had plans of his own. A light chuckle passes his lips, smile as playful as ever as he nods his head, "Oh no, but you will most certainly be done in a moment,"
He lets her get as close as she wants, he even lets her get the suplex on him, but as soon as his shoulders crash onto the ground, the blonde isn't even in her grasp anymore, she may have felt him slip from her grip, but he's standing in front of her arched form, a sudden breeze tossing his hair back as he raises his fingers, ".. Ja na," he whispers, and with a snap of his fingers, a two spears of violet electricity blast up from the ground under Mary, snaking through her body. It then makes a u-turn and smashes right down on her again, hopefully keeping her down for good.

With electricity rising up from the ground, Mary doesn't even see it happening but her body arches in pain and she lets a screech escape her through as the volts rush through her body. She falls down to the ground, twitching a little, muscles tensed up due to the electricity that moved through her. Her eyes open up and she growls a bit.. She almost seems to be done for good, but Mary gives it a little more! She's not out yet, she still has some strength left in her!

Mary hops off the ground and once she gets on her knees, she springs back up, somersaulting and hurling herself right on Benimaru, "Spin Fall!" She shouts as she seems to fall down to slam her foot right on Benimaru's shoulder -- however, this is a far more technical move than what Blue Mary feints it to be.

"Mary Spider!" Blue Mary shouts as she doesn't hit Benimaru with her foot, nope, she simply clings to him and holds herself straight in the air, before she rolls and makes Benimaru flip over and falls to the ground, in a way she holds on to his arm and uses her knowledge of joint manipulation to twist it in very painful ways, before she lets go of it.

Benimaru honestly thought the match was over right then and there. So for Mary to be getting back up, is extremely alarming to the fighter, "Wh.. Impossible, how could this be?" he murmurs to himself. His first instinct of course is to just get the hell out of the way; but not familiar with Marys Spider, he just doesn't know if he should shift to or fro. With her momentum, he flips around almost like a rag-doll in Marys impressive technique, grunting in pain when he hears his joints crack.
".. D. Damn," Benimaru's arm goes limp for a moment, feeling light-headed all of a sudden. His perfect plan, somehow it failed, but he does have enough left in him for one more strike; just as Mary's getting up from her hold, he spins on his back, and snaps an incredibly fast kick across Marys knee. "hng!"

A slightly shift in her posture allows Mary to actually take the hit on her leg, but not at a crucial place like her knee, which makes Benimaru's attack less painful. Mary groans a little and she glances down at Benimaru as he seems to be pretty spent. The woman staggers back and her lips curl into a smile, "You... You're good... But... I won't let you get on top of me," Mary says, with a soft chuckle.
"No offense... But pretty boys aren't my type, no matter how handsome you may be..." Mary says. She straightens herself up a little, ready to actually continue but the official actually whistles and calls Blue Mary the victor. With the decision of the officials, Mary chuckles and she takes a step foward, extending one hand to help Benimaru back to his feet, "That was... A great fight, nonethless."

COMBATSYS: BlueMary has ended the fight here.


Benimaru seems to still be in disbelief, a few of his blonde locks plastered to his face, the model panting lightly as he stares at the ground. He certainly isn't getting back up to fight, that was the last he had in him, his fists tightening a bit.
It doesn't take him long to calm down though, he slowly getting to his feet and not noticing until too late the offered hand. So he shakes it instead with a small smile, "Is that a fact? Perhaps we should discuss it over lunch sometime, Blue Mary. That was indeed a beautiful fight, even if the script did go awry,"
If allowed, the shaken hand is then raised for him to lightly kiss the back of it, and then he turns, "I'll be keeping an eye out for you, so keep up that great fighting."
With a wave the model is off; he never did like signing autographs after a loss.
