Description: *Season one, Easter Special* Next time on The Mighty Sensei Sylvester, it's Easter time and all boys and girls are looking for their eggs, but Yuri's basket is missing, can the plucky Naerose and Princess Yuri find the Easter Bunny or will the Might Sensei teach them a lesson? This is a Must See! The hilarious Easter Special!
Mope!
Mope, mope, mope. Yuri's having a down sort of day, probably related to the frustrating time she has been having in matches and the like. She's not sure what she's going to do, really - eventually, she's going to have to step up, or move out to the mountains and train or something. Maybe a desert retreat, an ancient tibetan monk's hut... Just _something_..!
Today, she's scuffing her foot along the clearing's path, kicking rocks and just staring down at the ground. She'd hunch her shoulders and tuck her hands in her pockets like every true moper does, but she's un-pocketed, so she just has to put on the best mopey body language as she can. Now, if only someone were around to help cheer her up..!
Humm Humm Humm. Ancient monk Naerose to the rescue! This clearing held many many things which said ancient monk needed to work on. That is, getting food. The search for food is what drives this ancient one to do what she is doing. Sitting in front of a rabbit hole, you could say she was meditating, right? Right? Wrong. She's sitting in front of what looks like a rabbit hole, holding her hat out in front of herself and BOY does she have terrible hat hair, when the mopey signals come and Naerose is broken from her revere!
"Yuri!" she exclaims, looking shocked, adjusting her shades up her nose all at the same time and then going on,
"How am I supposed to catch the eastern bunny when you're saturating the area with your downness!"
"I am not do... well, okay - maybe just a little." Yuri's slihtly emberassed look is followed by another scuffling kick to the ground. She makes an effort though, straightening up and tugging her gi top straighter. She eyes Naerose, and then pauses, a little confused. "What _are_ you trying to do with it? I mean, if you're hungry, go to the mall..?" Catching and eating live food, in this day and age? Pretty odd..!
"Oh! I never got to thank you for the commentating, by the way - Thanks for cheering me on. It was nice to have at the time." She gives a smile, and relaxes a bit more. Happy! Or at least, happy-er!
"Mmm. Well I mean I'm not going to eat the easter bunny, at least I don't think I am, actually, I hadn't thought that far ahead. But well, I figured the eggs would be worth it right?" She gives a small smile and a shrug, then her eyes turn into $'s.
"Then I could sell real easter eggs all year round." Yuri was talking but Naerose was day dreaming and then finally she says something along the lines of
"Ehhh.. yeah.. I'm umm glad." or something.
Snickering, Yuri shakes her head. It's very, very difficult to keep mopey around Naerose, especially when she's acting as odd as she is today. Yuri moves over towards the hole that Naerose is at, and sits down quietly to watch. She tries very hard to be non-mopey, and then leans to look over the hole, too. She looks a teensy bit incredulous, but instead of attacking Naerose's beliefs up front, she just kinda comes at them from the side. "So, uhm.. How do you _know_ this is the Easter Bunny?"
"Oh.. Well you see, yes about that." Naerose begins, then reaches into her hat and pulls out a small piece of paper. Unfolding it and setting it beside the pair, she shows what is clearly a easter egg hunt some local group put on. "I found this secret map and after carefully studying it, I came to realize this was in fact the field it was referring to. More over I found this clue in the field..." She reaches into her hat and pulls out an easter egg, apparently the children didn't find them all. "So you see, this is pretty clear evidence that the easter bunny lives right here."
"..."
Yuri just kinda gapes. She _knew_ Naerose was a little odd. But.. but.. CRAZY. She just takes a few moments to soak in the concept of what Naerose is explaining, and then just shakes her head in disbelief. How can...? How... Whaa...
"... I don't know if that map is what you think it is, Naerose. I mean.. It's... It's a game. really." She tries to break this as gently as she can, then adds, in a quiet tone. "Have you ever _seen_ an easter bunny in person, Naerose?" ... This, of course, may backfire. But still, it's worth a try. Otherwise, this christmas, she's going to be hunting Santa Claus.
"Well no, but listen, so I have Silvester, my familiar.. So if I put the easter bunny, whose a girl and Silvester, whose a boy, together, they could like make more easter bunnies. I mean, if this works I can make a fortune, right? It's totally worth a try!" Naerose exclaims and then tucks the easter egg and the map back in her hat.
"But I think you're right.. I need bait.. "
"You are _so_ crazy."
Yuri just kinda blinks in a lack of understanding as Naerose tries to explain just how she will be rich and famous with a stable of Easter Bunnies in her posession. She looks down the hole increduously, and then just shakes her had in a very slow manner. She's.. not sure if the girl is just been hit on the head too many times, or what. Probably the or what, but concussions are tricky things.
".. Tell you what. I bet, that if we had a battle, we'd scare it out of hiding. But if she doesn't come out afterwards, you promise me you'll take a break from trying to find her. That sounds okay?" Probably won't work. Sad!
Now it's Naerose' turn to look incredulous. She seems to think about this for a moment and then says, as if taking Yuri very seriously,
"Well Maybe.. It might just scare off the easter bunny.. but then it has to go somewhere.. Mmm maybe if we wreck the land enough.."
Rising Naerose gives Yuri a smile and a nod.
"Yeah, I think that just might work!"
Snickering, Yuri gets to her feet. She shoots Naerose another fond, amused look and then tugs on the hem of her gi to bring it down. "Alright. And if you win, I'll even keep looking with you - that sound good?" After all, she's got to have _some_ motivation to win. The thought of spending hours in a field looking for a non-existant rabbit is just the impetus she needs to kick her game into high gear.
"Alright! Bring it on - and let's make some noise!" With that, she stomps her feet down on the ground, and gets ready!
COMBATSYS: Yuri has started a fight here.
COMBATSYS: Naerose has joined the fight here.
"Right! Time to do some serious land wrecking!" Naerose picks up her broom and charges at Yuri, every footfall light and carrying her so far as if she were skipping and almost more like flying. Then rearing back with her broom, she makes a broad sweeping motion toward the Sakazaki fighter.
"Right! If you hit that three with enough impact, you might uproot it! I'm counting on you, Yuri!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Naerose's Clean Sweep.
"Wha? Hit the tr... AUGH!"
Yuri isn't so sure about this whole thing, now. In fact, she's pretty sure that this is going to end up with her plowing into far too many things. However, you live, you learn! Yuri brings her hands up, catching the broom on her forearms, and skids back to crunch into the tree. Not hard enough to uproot it, thank goodness - but certainly enough to shake and rattle it's branches, leaves falling. "Sorry to let you down!" she says.
Her turn! She steps forwards, and then brings her hands back over her head. She breaks into a run and then leaps up, both her hands glowing with orange-gold light as she drops them down over her head and tries to, well.. smush Naerose into the ground.
"RAIOU KEN!"
COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Naerose with Raiou Ken.
ouch ouch ouch ouch. Naerose hops around, sort of gets dusted a little by that hit and then looks around with a scurrying glance to see if the easter bunny came out. It didn't. She looks honestly disapointed.
"Damn.." she murmurs to herself and then turns her attention back to Yuri.
"Right, we need to pick this up a little. So.. Sagita Minor! "
Spinning around, away from Yuri, Naerose sends a flurry of darts toward the Sakazaki.
COMBATSYS: Naerose successfully hits Yuri with Sagita Minor.
Yuri kinda was hoping, too. After all, then she would have been distracted, and Yuri could have pounded her again. Drat! Ahwell, life goes on. She's rolling back as those darts come in, a surprising move that catches her off-guard. She tries to dodge out of the way, but a few of them smack into her, stinging her hands and arms. "Augh! You're supposed to hit the ground, not me!" she chides. She's grinning though - gotten excited about this fight, ready to give it her all - and even though she feels a little off balance, she rushes in!
"Let's see how you hitting the ground works! YURI CHOU UPPAA!!" Yuri steps in, and brings her arm up and around in a nice big haymaker. If it hits, well - Naerose will get a nice sensation of flying, and then a nice rumble to the ground when she hits down. If not, well.. we'll see!
COMBATSYS: Naerose dodges Yuri's Yuri Chou Upper.
Woah woah woah, "No thank you!" Naerose says as Yuri starts her motion and then swinging her broom around she tries to knock Yuri out of the air,
"Come on, go check that hole for possible Easter Bunny Action!" Yah! Naerose fixes her shades, brings up her broom and tries to well, nail Yuri.
COMBATSYS: Yuri blocks Naerose's Medium Strike.
Tossing an arm up, Yuri manages to intercept the brook handle on the back of her gloves - the impact skids her to the left and down anyways, suddenly finding herself face to face with a hole. And.. nope, no bunny yet. "Nothing!" she says over her shoulder, then yells "BOO!" into the hole. There, if it's in there, it should have started moving, right?
Yuri doesn't get back up to her feet, instead swinging her feet back and around in a wide arc for Naeroses's knees. Knock her down and let her get a peek too, see! *swing!*
COMBATSYS: Naerose interrupts Strong Kick from Yuri with Wisp.
That kick is going to hurt, probably go through Naerose' defenses! Especially when it consists of just a flash of light from her hand.
"Solar flare!" Heh. "Always wanted to say that." The flash does happen, as if she had a flash grenade, or a firecracker, actually, maybe she did, but following the flash, she swings her broom for a full baseball home run attack at Yuri's head. The kick then connects , through the harmless light and Naerose herself is flung across the ground.
Ow. Owch. Owie. All those good 'ow' words. Yuri got caught off-guard, and is now in a relative world of pain. It could be a lot worse, but still! She feels her teeth rattle as the noggin-knocking hit catches her in the back of her head, and she goes face-first into the rabbit hole, having to take a minute or two to get her head back out. Ow. "Nh. Ok. I'm gonna be ready for you this time.." she says, staggering back to her feet. Her hands come in to her sides, and she prepares herself quite a lot for the next attack..!
COMBATSYS: Yuri focuses on her next action.
Naerose considers the Yurster. She then sits down, on her bottom and takes a rest. Folding her arms, she sits down, folds her legs, her arms, drops her head and exhales a sigh of relief. Finally the hitting stops.
"Nice match so far.. but.. I don't see any easter bunny."
Being notoriously easy to distract, Naerose actually starts to look around for said bunny.
COMBATSYS: Naerose drops her guard to recover.
"You're right - let's start looking underground!"
Yuri pounces on the distraction of Naerose, reaching down into that hole with one hand, her fingers digging into the turf and then tearing off a hunk, to peek in. She's not seeing anything either, but hey - why waste this nice big hunk of grass and dirt!? It's held carefully - and then swung right at Naerose, trying to knock her into the hole just pulled up.
"See anything?!!?"
COMBATSYS: Yuri successfully hits Naerose with Random Weapon.
Every been hit so hard you don't really know what hit you? That's what happens to Naerose. She's plowed into the hole, knocked into next week, except in next week? She'll be fine! So she doesn't feel a thing.
"Wait.. I think.." Comes the muffled reply, "Score! Easter bunny!" Naerose's legs kick and she SWIMS deeper into the hole,
"You're not getting away," commes an even more muffled Naerose voice as she digs deeper and deeper.
COMBATSYS: Naerose takes no action.
COMBATSYS: Naerose can no longer fight.
.. So very tempted to just drop the grass and mud back on top of the hole, and walk away. However.. augh. She just kneels down next to the hole and peeks in, trying to follow Naerose's path as best she can from up top. ".. Wait. You _actually_ saw it..?" She's gotta be having a concussion. Really.
.. Maybe?
COMBATSYS: Yuri has ended the fight here.
A moment later a witches heaad pokes through the ground somewhere else. You have to say when someone is as abusive to their pet rabbits as Naerose is, that she must be very adept at catching them again when they make the logical choice and run away from her. Therefore she manages to get out of the ground, covered in dirt and hoists high above her head, a very very unhappy looking hare.
"This has to be it, I mean, it looks like a normal bunny, but that's just cause it isn't easter right now, I'll just take this to the Gedo high lab while Niesje is grading papers and color it orange and green and red and all sorts of colors to get it into easter egg laying heat!"
Yuri pauses. And really can't just say more than.. "Naerose. You scare me." With that, she gets up, dusts off her gi, and offers the other girl a hand up to her feet. "C'mon.. I'll walk you there, alright?"
"Score!" Naerose replies with a thumbs up, fixing her hat, dusting herself off, with her broom and sets off with Yuri, for fame, fortune! And..
One week later
In the Niesje house
Niesje: "Naerose, you need to get rid of that techni color rabbit, it is scaring the kids in the science lab."
Naerose: "Yeah sure whatever, hey, check this out, I heard in the north pole, Santa Clause actually lives all year round! I'm so going."
