--------------------------<Paste to Howard Arena>--------------------------
He's wanted this for months.
Years.
De.. okay, perhaps not /that/ long. But he has more reason to, today. More reason to desire and need this battle that has been clawing at his black little heart for weeks and weeks. Each time he'd sought to 'test' Howard, he'd been rebuffed, humiliated by the Man in the Tower, forced into some semblance of a 'game', to play to the man's whims, to fight him when he was distracted by other opponents, by other things, by 'I will eat.. your brains!' or the like.
Not today.
No, Vega is singleminded today as he enters the Arena - there's a match already in place, already going on, two swarthy men gripping and grappling each other inside the ring. Vega walks towards the impressive main stage, easily walking past and brushing past the referee with no more a glare. As the two fighters turn towards him, Vega simply grabs both by the neck, one in each giant hand, then slams forwards. With a sickening crunch, they drop to the ground, unconcious or worse. The crowds about mutter in silence, shock - and that is when Vega makes his declaration. Bellowed to the heavens, to that blonde devil that hides and pretends that he is better than the Shadaloo lord... a challenge.
"COME ON, HOWARD! GIVE THESE MORTALS A BATTLE WORTH THEIR WHILE!" He doesn't quite stomp his foot and pout as he does it - but there is an arm raised towards the heavens, fist shaking, glowing with that psychic aura of his.
COMBATSYS: Vega has started a fight here.

Vega 0/-------/-------|
Hmph. Some people have no grace at all. So rude. This is Geese's house, fool.
The Syndicate lord and veritable King of Southtown is indeed near at hand... after all, this complex is hardly a stone's throw from the legendary Geese Tower. His driver brings him around in style - Geese feels like a challenge, after all, and yes, it's all a game. And in his indignance? Vega is -still- playing along.
Geese... Geese is smug, sipping champagne on the block-long limo ride, pondering how very nice 'Lord' Vega is to ante-up the ratings on a sub-par exhibition bout -and- give another rousing round of global domination ranting so zany it -has- to be staged. On national TV. For Geese's profit. Yes, he is smug, and he exits his limo in style to the flashes of numerous cameras. He waves, and enters the arena, dressed for battle in dark navy hakama and a silver-grey gi, belted in black. Matching dark blue leather bracers cover his wrists, etched simply with gold trim. His smug grin remains in place as he ascends the steps, coming face to face with Vega. Geese shakes his head, "Mortals, hmm? Let me guess, you came here with the Mount Olympus crowd." Howard gets a rousing cheer for that baiting taunt... a reference to these silly 'gods' showing up in recent SNFs. People eat it up. It's just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Well I'm here, your imminence!" Geese cracks his neck, flexing the impressive muscles even along his throat and shoulder with a smirk, "Let me show you just how mortal you are."
COMBATSYS: Geese has joined the fight here on the right meter side.

Vega 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Geese
See.. That was a compliment! And it gets tossed back in his face, which just proves that Geese is a meanie McMeanyPants. Vega /knew/ this would draw a crowd, that people would be interested to see the greater beings battle in an epic fight that would once and for all prove his own superiority over Geese. But no, Geese comes in and disses him, and just angers the man pacing on the arena like a caged animal.
"I came here to fight, not bandy words. If you're so certain of your mortality, Geese.. Join them!" With that, the two still men are held up, faces bruised and mashed into a mess. He takes them, pulls back and throws them forwards, directly at Geese as he stands there with that smirk and that confident look. Even if he doesn't hit, well - it's going to make the crowd gasp. It's a fight that they'll get, something that the people at home will be DVRing for weeks on end.

Vega 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Geese
Oh no. Flying weaklings. Geese all but glides aside, sliding into a graceful sidestep that carries him along the edge of the arena as the two men tumble in, and crash to the ground. Medical teams rush up now that Vega is clear of his quarry, and begin to drag the two away as quickly as possible. Geese, however, has other ideas.
See, he never contested the compliment. Geese never claimed -he- was mortal. He's tasted true immortality! ... unfortunately sometimes true immortality tastes sort of like, well, concrete. But that's not the point! The point is that Howard is rushing full-on in at Vega after the evasion, and it doesn't take him more than a blink of an eye, a blur to the onlookers (who GASP!) as he reaches out for the front of the dictator's uniform. One hand grips for high on Vega's chest, the other for low in his guts, and then, should the grip be found, both would bicycle around once as Geese's powerful arms heft the Shadaloo leader up and over his head, turning and sending Vega saaaaailing end over end back the way he came. (Also, Geese would laugh.)

Flying weaklings was perhaps not the best move, oh no. Vega could have done something more, something stronger, but he misunderestimated Geese's strategery, and in doing so, has managed to put himself at a distinct disadvantage! Caugh flat-footed by the full-on rush, he's caught and grabbed, flipped and chucked head over heels in lo.. er, agony, to land on the far side of the ring. He manages to not actually fall /off/ the ring, but winces as a flash goes off /right/ in front of him. Oh, that's going to make the news tomorrow, isn't it? 'Crazed Madman's Ass Kicked by Generous Philanthropist'. Ngh. He turns, to face Geese again, getting back to his feet, already a little unsteady. "Stop.. laughing!" he growls. Even if Geese isn't /actually/ laughing, Vega can hear it in his head, psychotic that he is. The concept of being hurt so easily drives him to crazy, angry attacks. He leaps towards Geese, his hands clawing through the air at him - but he's not trying to strike the standing man. Instead, his hands pull a short wave of dark blue energy, Psychopower, his forte. Geese's specialty seems to be chucking people around, from what Vega's seen - time to demonstrate his /own/ power.

Vega 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Geese
Ahahaha. Geese is indeed laughing. A slow, cold chuckle that seems quite disappointed as Vega goes hurtling off into the wild blue yonder. Silly Vega. Messing with his show. Still, Vega's as dangerous as ever, whatever face Geese decides to put on for this showdown. He's like John effin' Wayne. With a hell of a lot more money. Unfortunately, the Shadaloo leader's raging, psychotic break of an attack is too much even for Geese's formidable guard, the wave of power washing over his arms and slamming him backwards into a harsh, three point crouch. His palm drags along the stonework floor for a span, ice-blue eyes snapping up to Vega as his teeth clench... into a grin, "Why?" He asks simply, lunging forward for Vega, seeking to grab him before he can fully recover from his rampant offensive momentum.
At that point, Howard would grab the dictator by the front of his snazzy suit, and yank him rather harshly into his right knee, at approximately gut level. This would be followed by a sharp twist, during which Vega would be flipped over for easy depositing on the floor next to Geese.

Vega 0/-------/--=====|=======\=------\1 Geese
Because it is hurting Vega's feelings! And it is making him feel bad! And making him want to smash and crush and beat on Geese all the more, because he deserves it! Like, serious amounts of beating. Vega feels pretty good about the escalation of the battle, the impact of his psychopower against Geese's defenses making him feel like he can make a difference - if he can avoid getting smacked by more ...
Oh, hello, Mister Floor. Nice day, nice weather you're having and would you please mind not smushing up against my nose? Vega manages to roll to his back after he's uncerimoniously dumped and stomped, his body sporting a new set of soon-to-be bruises. As he faces up at Geese, he just listens to that simple question, and laughs. Laughs like a crazy, mad laughing type person. Like an insane person - he knows the cameras will love this, he knows that this is not the way a dictator should act to prove he's dangerous and a world power. But he doesn't care - because he's just listening to the pain and soaking it in and soaking in the condescension from the crowd, savoring it and using it to stoke the fire of his psychopower. To make him /more/ dangerous. "Because... if you don't.." he murmurs, low enough for only Geese to hear. ".. I'll eat your brains."
COMBATSYS: Vega gathers his will.

Vega 1/------=/=======|=======\=------\1 Geese
Poor Vega! He just wants to be FRIENDS! Never mind the broken men being drug off in stretchers thanks to his little ranting, raving vendetta kick. Somehow, it seems unlikely that Vega's going to get a whole lot of sympathy from Geese, "Hmph." He replies with a smirk, as the dictator drags himself back up. The Syndicate boss can sense that uprising of dark, evil power within Vega, the seething hate that gives him so much power. Geese can feel it well, for while the element may have changed, the hatred and violence is the same. Something Geese knows rather intimately.
Sidenote: Howard is still smirking. In the face of all that power, and danger, his initial response is simple. His own inner aura spikes considerably, a glimmering, warm golden rush of power through his body. Then he erupts forward, slamming out in a violent elbow even with Vega's collarbone, that left leading the charge with all of Geese's weight behind it.
There's no initial outward show of all that chi. Just brutal, bone-cracking force as Howard seeks to level strike after strike on Vega, in an all-out fury few have ever actually seen. Right cross follows the elbow, a left uppercut bringing Geese in even harder. Then there's the knees, and the rising elbows, and the punishing backhand that leads into a devestating series of palmstrikes. Caught in the middle of this, the eruption of icy, cutting blue-white chi that then explodes from Geese's hands might seem almost refreshing.

Vega 1/--=====/=======|-------\-------\0 Geese
Holy bajeezus.
Vega has been off his game. And really, this is now going to end with Vega being carted off by.. wait, none of his men are here. This means he's going to not get carted off at all. So he is going to have to move by himself after... whatever the hell is coming in his way. It's ugly, Vega can tell this much - and it's fast.
Too fast.
Somewhere within the fight, Vega realizes that Geese isn't the power to be dealt with that he thought he was - no pushover, no 'looky-loo'. Geese has been playing him for a chump, for a sap, and the Howard Power is real, definite - and not to be tested on TV. Staggering back from the final blast of chi, Vega drops down to one knee. Beaten he may be, humiliated on television, perhaps.. Those are the risks one takes when you strive for greatness. And Vega accepts it placidly. He manages to get to his feet, and then nods his thanks towards Geese - he's seen what he needed to see. And while the cheers from the crowd for Geese Howard may goad him towards rage, he will stand tall on his way from the arena.
A loser.

Ah, now that's satisfying. It's not often Geese really just... cuts loose. Not like this. But with the crimes the dictator perpetrated, and the crazy, violent attitude... well, it's only proper that Howard put him down on tv and international dvd, isn't it? So it's with a fair bit of dark glee that Howard pummels out the rhythm to the Deadly Rave. He stands self assured as Vega is blasted backwards, a confident statement... nothing Vega has left can bring him down, now. The smug grin returns calmly, and Geese brushes down the slightly torn front of his gi. Other than that... the Syndicate boss has barely broken a sweat.
Yes, it was lucky that the pace of the fight stayed with him, but there was a message to send. And from where Geese is standing, the bloodied Vega received it rather clearly. Still, Howard's almost disappointed when the volatile Vega doesn't come at him one more time, but ah well... he's had his satisfaction, and then some. One can't be -too- greedy. Geese simply stares at Vega's back as the man turns to leave, a low chuckle likely penetrating Vega's hearing, 'cause let's face it, he's gonna hear it either way, "You can't escape death forever, your mind is going."
COMBATSYS: Geese has ended the fight here.
