Description: Next stop is Metro Square, and tonight's much-awaited Neo League Fight! It's Yuri Sakazaki versus... Yuri Sakazaki?! (Winner: Yuri)
And lo, the League Fight brings us to the Metro City subway. And man, it is pretty ghetto down here.
Li Xiangfei, the self proclaimed Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey of Southtown, doesn't exactly have the best momories of this city, but the subway does kind of make her feel at home with it's sort of dank feel to it. The lights along the walls flicker, some more spiradically than others, and empty soda cans and newspaper drag along the platform, thanks to the rather windy atmosphere above. Xiangfei isn't in her classic fight attire, at least not her own, she's wearing one that's all too familiar! Short hair pulled back into a braid and a red headband, she sports a white gi top and pants, with a blue undershirt, and sweet red converse sneaks on her feet. Why? Uh.. She just thought it'd be fun.
But before her match starts, she's at the snack cart, purchasing a couple of giant pretzels, "With extra cheese, please." she pipes excitedly.
Someone's sportin' Yuri's style! Whoasnaps! Yuri herself finds LiX easy to spot, what with the dressed exactly as her thing going on. She walks into the subway station, and down towards that cart. Standing next to Fei-fei, she nudges her with an elbow, grinning. "Gonna finish those pretzles before the fight, or after?"
Thinking about it, she adds amusedly. "That's a great outfit - and it makes me happy. Now however the fight goes, I can say I won!" There's a good-natured wink, and a slap of a credit card to the counter. "I'll pay for.. well, Robert's paying for those, but still!" With that done, she steps towards the ledge of the subway - nothing coming for a bit yet, it seems..!
Xiangfei jumps a little in suprise, she didn't see Yuri there! However right away she looks wide-eyed to Yuri and then smiles brightly, "Haha, you think so? Yeah I thought I'd give it a go, see what it's like being a Kyokugen fighter today. However I won't be using the kyokugen style, it's still all about kung-fu! But uh.. Heh heh, I guess it'll be after the fight, I thought I got here super early."
A delighted squeal passes her lips as Yuri offers to pay (sort of) and she's right behind her best friend as she looks to see a good spot to rumble. On the tracks, huh? Gutsy! And that's what Strongest! is all about! And so she drops down with a 'hup!' and dusts off her hands, "All right, Yuri, it's time for you to show off the fruits of your labor! I noticed you did pretty awesome against Kasumi-chan. So show it to me too, ok?" she asks with a wink.
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei has started a fight here.

Xiangfei 0/-------/-------|
Remember kids, don't try this at home! Well, if you have a subway station at home with tracks, maybe you can try it. But you probably shouldn't.
Yuri hops down after Xiangfei does, making sure not to step on that lovely, dangerous, and quite hummy with electric power 'third rail'. Instead, she takes her balance on one of the crossbars, and bows to Xiangfei formally. The other girl's going to get the full-on formal treatment - cause there will be plenty of time for informality later! "I'll show you my best, Xiangfei! Just you wait!"
With that said, Yuri goes right into 'giving it her all'. She tomps her foot down on that third rail, a sudden splash of sparks forming on her foot as the electricity tries to make it up her body and fry her into crispy little Yuribits. Instead, though, she protects herself with a small layer of chi, letting the electricity work it's way into a ball of chi, the sparks from the rail turning red, and then gold, arcing between her fingers. She steps off, forwards, and hurls the ball right at Xiangfei!
"Ko'ou KEN!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri has joined the fight here.

Wow! Yuri looks totally fired up, that's hardcore! Of course, Xiangfei returns the bow before the fight starts, a confident grin forming, "Okay lets do this! Let's fight!" and fight they do, which brings up the next WOW!
Wow!! Now Yuri is just taking things TO THE LIMIT, she yelps in suprise to the electricity coursing about Yuri, so stunned in fact that when the fireball comes, she can only just cross her arms up and let her armguard smash against it, her jaw dropped afterward, "W.. W.. Woah!! I take it back, go back to the old Yuri! This is too hardcore for me!" Xiangfei cries, dashing at her friend and leaps into the air to snap a quick kick to Yuris shoulder. Should it hit, as soon as she lands she delivers a swift backhand to the gut, look out! "Hyaah!"

Yuri 0/-------/----===|=------\-------\0 Xiangfei
"Noway! Gotta show you what I'm made oOOF!" Yuri's pretty much ready to show LiX a hard match - after all, she's trying crazy-hard to keep up with Fei-fei. And it's never, ever easy. But that'll change in time, really it will. Just, maybe.. not today. She ducks her head down, in an attempt to get under the kick, but just manages to catch it right on her forhead - skidding back as the other attack catches her across the cheek. Were that not enough, she accidentally takes another step back, and trips over the slat she was standing on, falling rear - first onto the third rail! She's only there for a second though, the screech of having her bottom flash fried very loud indeed!
"Owowowowow!" she cries, patting at the smoldering spandex, trying to make sure it doesn't burst into flame - she'd ask for a time out, but this is official! No rest for the weary! So instead of trying to run away, she leaps into an attack! Figuring that Fei's already zapped her rear into unfeelingness.. she uses it as an attaacking point, launching herself ass-backwards at Xiangfei's chest! "Yaaaaaaah!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei interrupts Strong Kick from Yuri with Quick Punch.

Yuri 0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0 Xiangfei
Gadzooks, it looks like the Most Devastating Light-Kick in the Business (tm) has reared its ugly head once more! Xiangfei sometimes doesn't realize her own strength, but she even looks a little suprised by that one, "W.. S.. Sakaza!!" she then shrieks as Yuri falls to her DEATH! Noooooo! Yuri, we hardly knew y--
Oh ok cool she's all right. In fact, now she's facing an ass-attack and that has to be the first time it's been used on her.. She thinks. Right? Well, suddenly the heavenly hip-hop Honey grins, clasping her hands togeather so just her pointer fingers and pointed out, a devilish gleam in her eye. And then she stomps forward, giving Yuri a very rude-awakening, "Technique of Certain Death: Act Two!" Uh.. Yeah.. We know where those fingers poked. It probably hurt. A lot.
Talk about poke interrupts! YOWCH! Yuri's definitely getting the rough end of this fight. She bounces right back away from Fei-fei at the jab, and then turns back around to face her, rubbing her rear for many other reasons now. "Owwww.. Geez! This isn't doing very well, is it?" Grumble, grumble. Yuri needs new moves, or at least some new skill. _something_
She takes a slow step forwards, and then breaks into a run, taking only two steps to get up to full speed. Once she's there, well, she tries to get a hand on Xiangfei's gi - if she's able to, she's going to slide and flip Fei towards one of the subway track's walls - hopefully that'll slow her down. If she misses? Well, it'll scoot her down the tracks, and hopefully away from too much retaliation!

Yuri 0/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Xiangfei
Xiangfei never thought in her life she'd be able to do that.. It's actually quite hilarious, but the chinese fighter does her best not to laugh out loud; mostly because she actually hurt -herself- doing that poke as well. Smirking though, she replies, "Don't worry Sakaza, this match is just beginning!" in fact, hand on gi? Check. Xiangfei being unable to squirm free? Check. Flying toward the wall with a, "WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaau-- OOF!" check and CHECK. Going swirly eyed after contact, Xiangfei groans as she manages somehow to land upright and stagger a little to the side, a big crack where she had landed on the wall, ".. Ow. Good throw."
But now it's her turn! Sort of. Still looking out of it, the poor girl sways and staggers until she reaches Yuri and attempts to throw an arm over the girls shoulder, "Ooooh.. Ooogh.." and if she manages that, suddenly comes back to life, twirling around to pummel her opponents shoulders with a volley of punches, "Wa-tah-tah-tah-TAH!"

Yuri 1/-----==/=======|======-\-------\0 Xiangfei
Darn those volleys of punches! Far too many of them for Yuri - each one popping her in a new location. She'll be a mass of bruises before the end of today, that's for sure. Sheesh! She staggers back under the assault, and then edges towards the wall. She's probably setting up for something sneaky, right?
"Okay, okay - let's rest up and get ourselves those pretzels now!" she exclaims, taking a quick second to catch her breath. She's just trying to keep in this fight, and when you're fighting Xiangfei, that's hard to do! Unless you're like, y'know.. Vega. Which Yuri isn't. Nope.
COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

Yuri 1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Xiangfei
Xiangfei blink.. Blink.. Blinks.. And then suddenly her mouth waters to the mention of pretzels. Suddenly she's forgotten she was giving a serious beatdown, and her stomach starts doing the thinking! *GYUUUUUUUUUUUUU* "... Wow.. Oh man am I starving, I wonder.." she brings a finger to her lip, looking back to the food cart, salivating and eyes glazing over. But.. But that would be bad for ratings, wouldn't it? But on the other hand, she'd never get a -real- chance to snack during a fight. it's a very tough decision!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei drops her guard to recover.

Hotaru heads to the Park.
Well, now.. This is an interesting conundrum, indeed! Yuri didn't expect Xiangfei to start drooling and going glassyeyed. This is something she was hoping for! Sorta. Kinda. It feels a little cheap, but she's tired of losing! Rar! So what does one do when they catch their best friend flatfooted and by surprise? They make them _pay_!
"Let me warm that up for ya!" Yuri yells, aiming both her hands at Xiangfei, chi flaring up in a wide arc - she's not holding back, not this time. As she builds up energy, she rushes forwards towards Fei-Fei, and then releases the blast at point-blank range, a destructive swath of pure chi, aimed right for that headband that Xiangfei is wearing!
"HAOH SHO KO KEN!"
... She'll feel bad for it later - but she'll pay for the pretzels. And pizza, too! Right, that's it!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei blocks Yuri's Haoh Sho Ko Ken.

You know, Yuri, there's an old saying that goes 'cheaters never prospher'! Now, Xiangfei, she's actually a fairly experienced cheater. Yuri, however, is considerably more pure than the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey. There's a slight pause, Xiang blinking to her friends comment, and then glances to the side at the last moment, "Huh? W.. WAAAAH!!" Well.. Her way of dealing with the blow is unorthodox, but with her equally unorthodex manner of moving chi, she can take that massive thing HEAD ON! She stomps forward and SLAMS her forehead against the Kyokugen special, but then slaps her palms against it, because it wasn't as easy to defend that way as she had originally planned. Feet dig against the tracks and it finally fizzles out, Xiangfei witha charred mark on her forehead and annoyed look to her best friend, ".... You tricked me!" she cries, *gyuuuuu* her stomach cries as well. A bit of a swagger in her step, Xiangfei races at Yuri, and once she's close enough there's a huge cloud the bursts behind her, she attempting to drive her shoulder into Yuris sternum, "HAAAAH!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Xiangfei's Tenpou Zan.

Cheaters never prosper! How right Xiangfei is! In fact, quitters never win, too! And Winners never quit! This explains why Xiangfei is still moving, but Yuri? Not so much. "Tricks are all that works on you, you goof!" Yuri catches the shoulder with her hands, letting it knock her backwards - she skids a few feet, then stops, having tried for a grapple with Xiangfei's headband. If she can get a good grip, well, she'll pivot on her heels, and chuck Xiangfei into another wall! That'll be great!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei endures Yuri's Quick Throw.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/-----==|=======\==-----\1 Xiangfei
".... Oh right," Xiangfei murmurs thoughtfully. Granted, they only work because LiX always gives her friend the benefit of the doubt! However she 'trips' rather comically in the air once Yuri grips the headband, which in theory should have completely thrown her momentum off, right? Not quite! While she is swung and slammed yet again, she clings to it like Spider-man and FLIES back at Yuri, "Wataaaaaaaaaaah!" and she just goes for a flying tackle. Nothing very kung-fu about it, no, but she needs to stay close if she's going to win, "Wataah!" *GYUUUU* cries her stomach.

Yuri 0/-------/----===|=======\======-\1 Xiangfei
Spider-man, Spider-man, doin' whatever, a Spider-can! Like, rocketing through the air at Yuri! This is a bad situation to be in, and Yuri's pretty sure that she's not going to like what happens when said flying tackle is put on her! Augh! Ducking down to get under it, Yuri is about to dodge the attack, but at the last second, she just rips out a GIANT uppercut, aimed right at Fei-fei's noggin, to knock her away.
"YURI CHOU UPPAAA!" Granted, it still hurts when she hits Xiangfei - but this way, she laid down some smack herself!
Ok uh.. That hurt. Of all things for Yuri to do, somehow Xiangfei just did -not- see that coming, and she's eating some serious Yuri-Chou-Upper action. Just.. Like. POW. The momentum is shifted completely and Xiangfei goes from flying forward, to flying UPWARD, landing onto the platform now with a heavy thud, and a loud, "OOF!" as she holds her head. What.. Precise aim! Just ow! Her eyebrow twitches slightly, and she slowly gets up, looking down to her best friend with a bit if a tired smile, "O.. Ow. That was pretty good, I guess then I'll have to hit you with something I haven't hit you with before as well." her hands are a blur of motions, using awesomely sweet hand-signs to set up what she suspects will be the final blow! "......!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei focuses on her next action.

Yuri 0/-------/----===|=======\======-\1 Xiangfei
Oh snaps! It's time for Xiangfeis SUPER ULTRA DEATH MOVE! This is seriously going to suck! Yuri's not sure what to do at the moment, save _get the hell away_, which she does, very very adroitly. She skips back along the rails, giving herself a fair amount of distance between herself and Fei-fei, then ducks down level with the ground.
Searching, searching, aha! She reaches and tugs a rail spike out of the ground, and hefts it up. Nice and heavy, yeah - that's just what she needs! She pulls back, and chucks it right at Xiangfei's chest - blunt end first, of course - this is her _friend_ after all! "Think fast, Fei-fei! You're not gonna take me down _that_ easy!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Xiangfei with Thrown Object.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////// ]
Yuri 0/-------/----===|=======\=======\1 Xiangfei
Wow, that is certainly one fast thinking partner! However just thinking fast isn't quite enough, she gets pretty OWNED by the spike, which knocks her over yet again and possibly out of Yuris sight; she's still down at the tracks right? So maybe, just maybe she still has the element of suprise on her side. Just after she gets a moment to catch her breath, "Huff huff.." ok good! On her back, Xiangfei uses her feet to scoot herself along the ground, dirtying up her gi and once she's in a position where she thinks she's behind Yuri, she kip-ups, and drops to the ground, fingers curled in like claws, "KYAAH!" because she lashes out at the small of Yuris back, attempting to land a paralysis strike to set up for some serious doom...
COMBATSYS: Yuri stops Majinga from Xiangfei with Saiha.

Yuri 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Xiangfei
Yuri's where LiX thought she'd be - but there's a problem! When that leap comes, that big 'ol handstrike hits a shield of orange-red chi, the impact flaring the bubble up and away. The muted impact bounces Yuri a few feet forwards, and she stumbles up against the other rails. Huh! That was.. kinda creepy, for nothing happening. She turns on her heel, and then grins, cockily.
"So, that was supposed to do something, Fei-Fei?" she taunts, then falls back into a fighting crouch. She knows it was probably supposed to be super-impressive - so she'll be super-impressed after the fight, and she finds out what it's supposed to do. Yeah, that's it!
Xiangfei is completely stunned. In utter shock, that was her family's traditional attack right there, stopped simply with Kyokugen power! But really, that took guts. Serious guts, and it paid off! So yes, she's just standing there, still in her striking position with the most perplexed look on her face, ".. U.. Uh.."
Well it's only fair, really, one nerfed super attack deserves another! "N.. No, uh, that wasn't it, it.. Uh.. Was THIS!" And she busts out with Majinga Lite! This time her hand rushes forward with an open palm, attempting to land lightly on Yuris sternum. But when her fingertips curl inward, there's enough impact slamming into the tagged spot to knock Yuri flat on her butt! "HYAH!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri fails to interrupt Kadoma from Xiangfei with Yuri Chou Upper.

Yuri 0/-------/-======|=====--\-------\0 Xiangfei
Argh! This time, no bright shield protects her, the strike completely contained in the physical world - no power can save her from the crushing hit of Xiangfei's fist to her chest, knocking her back up to the wall with a crunch. She's dizzy - but still standing, waving her hands in the air. "Nice, nice nice!" she cheers, not really caring - win or lose, she's having fun! She thinks.
"C'mon! Show me what you've really got, Fei-Fei! Don't hold back, or I'll stop covering the pretzels tonight!" She grins, and tries to get ready for the attack - this is going to be super-difficult, she can tell already. In the end - she's lost this. But hey - who really cares! It's a blast anyways!
Xiangfei grins a little, brushing off her hands with only a slight worry to her friend, she knows just how much impact was behind that, seems like Yuri got caught by suprise; a much needed one after her rather embarassing brick! "W.. what? Wh.. Who's the one that's holding back??" Xiangfei then cries, jumping a little to the threat.
*gyuuuuu* Xiangs stomach chimes in; So no holding back, huh? Not that she was before, but now she feels inclined to break out with her most advanced technique yet! She hops up, then cartwheels toward the kyokugen fighter to close in the distance again, her left palm lashing out at Yuris sternum. But that's just a feint, because her opposite elbow darts out to slam into the spot with enough force to send Yuri a bit upward. And should that hold true, she leaps into the air, and instantly flip-kicks for the follow up, "Hup! Hah! WATAAH!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri dodges Xiangfei's Senri Chuu'ou.

Yuri 0/-------/-======|======-\-------\0 Xiangfei
Hah! Not there, no she isn't! Yuri could have been there, should have been there - but wasn't! No, not her! Instead, she throws herself to the platform of the subway, flipping up out of the way of the flip kick - in fact, she wouldn't have made it if she hadn't tapped her foot to Fei-Fei's to aid her in getting up! "Think you can handle being down there!?" she asks, pulling back, and kicking a bottle up into her hand. Holding it there, she shakes it - soda, probably - and then raises it waaaay up.
"C'mon up, if you can! Get out of there 'fore a train comes for ya!" With that, she chucks the bottle down - aiming not just at Fei, but trying to get her, and the third rail at the same time. Let's see if she can give Fei-fei a nice shocking surprise! Eat AC, Xiangfei!

Well.. Um.. Yuris plan worked better than she'd -ever- know. The chinese fighter glances to the sodabottle, and she scratches her head, and then busts out laughing, "Ah ha ha ha!! There's no WAY you can stop me with that! Aaah ha h-- OOF!"
.. Or CAN SHE? Xiangfeis eyes cross when the bottle bursts open in her face, for a moment blinding her and she staggers back, followed by the brightest electrics show the world has ever seen! I mean there's just a bright white light, followed by a bright sizzle and a, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" FOOM. Xiangfei flies back and up and crashes against the platform again, steam and smoke raising from her clothing, "... ow." she twitches a bit, her vision blurred and she struggles a bit to get back up to her feet, her body feeling like jell-o....

Maybe she's paralyed or something? Coughing a little, the chinese kung-fu fight manages to at least get up to one knee, but then falls face first into the ground again, completely exhausted. Well.. Crap!
"FEI-FEI!"
At this point, Yuri doesn't care about the fight at all, she just drops down into the tracks area again, and then snags Fei up to a sitting position. Making sure she's not going to like, fry herself again! Augh. She picks up the smaller girl, and then looks really apologetic, brushing at that sticky face, and looking for signs of a concussion. She's rushed as she talks, quick and trying oh so hard to keep panic out of her voice.
"Oh, man, Fei-fei, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to like, hurt you that bad! That was crazy stupid of me.. Let's get you out of here, okay? I can take you home or something, cause you're a mess.. " See Yuri panic. Panic, Yuri, panic!
COMBATSYS: Yuri has ended the fight here.
