Description: A mighty battle for Duck King to test his might. The opponent? Leona Heidern. A hellacious battle that ends up being alot closer than one might think. Mistakes by a cocky Duck lead to the eventual win for the Ikari Warrior. (Winner: Leona)
What a busy week for a supposedly retired fighter. Not only was he in SNF, but also hosting WNB and in he was to be featured in Howard Arena as one of the fighters to take on the mighty duo of Billy and Geese! That is probably why he has decided to have a fight tonight here and now in his very own club. That's right folks, The Duck Pond is here to bring some awesome Neo League action featuring the most grooving man ever to be named after a water fowl. His opponent tonight is also one tough cookie. Leona is probably the last person Duck wanted to see across from him when he set up a fight, but he will have to make due.
As he warms up he can't help but keep looking over to his opponent. That woman is a damn tank from what he remembers. He is going to have to be very careful in this one or else he will be flat on his back. "Hey feel lucky, Leonakins!" he calls out to her and moves to step up on the dancefloor. "You are gonna get beat by one of the winners of this Saturday's main event!"

Sometimes she has to wonder why she agrees to these league fights. They are something she rarely does, but the encounter with that strange arab in the Justice High uniform has had her slightly annoyed for a few days now. That lead to her volunteering to be Duck King's opponent this fine evening. It will allow her to work off some of anger and on top of it allow her to keep from getting too rusty. She had been taking alot of time off from fighting afterall. Whatever it is she looks ready to start just as soon as Duck steps forward and calls out to her.
"Leona. Call me Leona." she says in that monotone voice of hers and she finishes tieing up her hair in that high ponytail before suddenly rushing forward and starting things off quickly with two quick motions that create a X shape of chi that is flung Duck's way.

What? No times for introductions or anything!? Duck is aghast at how Leona is handling this fight already. She is a guest and on top of that in an official fight. Yet the word 'Fight!' never come before Leona is already coming right for him. His feet try to move quickly as he sees the chi released and he twirls about on a foot and ends up being smacked in the shoulder and sends him sprawling back some. "Dammit woman. That ain't cool." he grumps and pushes himself up onto his knees.
Then it happens. The music gets started up by DJ Buddy Lee up in the booth and soon Duck's mood becomes much better. "All right. Just for that I gotta beat you!" he calls out and he rolls forward towards the mercenary before bursting upwards out of that roll to plant a big uppercut under Leona's jaw. "DUCKYUKEN!"

The mercenary in question straightens up after attacking, her stance taking that of her usual fighting one while watching Duck King pick himself back up off his feet. She doesn't offer any sort of reply though his claims of winning this fight do bring a bit of a smirk on her face. She may be wearing down some as far as being a capable fighter, but she is hardly rusty enough to lose to someone like this baffoon. Or is she? That punch comes up, a punch she is too used to from fighting people like Sakura or Dan or any of the other karate clones she has ran into. Yet still as she starts to get ready to put an end to this sad attempt at a strike Duck moves at such speed it slams into her jaw hard and sends her staggering back while rubbing her chin. "Tch..."
Now that is what he is talking about! She may have got a cheap shot in, but this is Duck's place and damned if he is going to let the Ikari ruin his mood and make him perform poorly in front of his own crowd. "And that is just for starters!" he calls out to her and he starts to rush forward again while she is still off balance. He leaps forward and twirls about in mid air to actually overshoot Leona at first, but his arms reach back to try to catch onto her neck and throw her down onto the ground and slam the back of her head against the dancefloor in a messed up swinging neckbreaker type move.

[OOC] Duck King says, "INSANITY"
So he thinks he can capitalize on Leona being slightly off balance? She may have been caught off guard by his speed the first time around, but this time she is more prepared for when Duck King begins to strike again. She steadies herself and she steps forward and into where Duck is deciding to jump at, this way she can just catch him while he is still airborne and just push him back away. In the process she manages to barely budge from intercepting the other fighter.
"Let us get more serious." she murmurs and reaches down for her boot, reaching for one of the throwing knives she keeps there and then standing up with it in hand. She makes the quick motion of throwing, but it is just a distraction in the end. It was to make sure Duck wasn't aware of the small earring she had just tossed his way.

There is a brow raised at first as to what the mercenary might be doing. Then eyes go wide behind his glasses as she pulls out the knife. "Hey now! This is all in good fun ri-NOT IN THE FACE!" he cries out and tries covering himself up until he realizes he isn't being pierced by anything. HIs arms only lower in time to see that small object coming right at him, in which he has no time to do anything but step into it and rush forward. The earring ignites into the tiny explosion, but Duck continues forward with whisps of smoke coming off of him as he charges at the woman and then jumps foward right at her, spinning in the air as a wild ball of Duck King fury intent on slamming into her.

The reaction is something she had expected to the knife. What wasn't expected was the fact Duck took the hit like a man and charged right at her in response. He seems almost lightning quick once again and her usual impenetrable defenses are shattered by the spinning fowl that knocks her back several steps. The blow is just not hard enough to take the woman down off her feet just yet. It did succeed in making her feel slightly more annoyed. A result Duck might regret at some point. That point may be very soon since Leona steps forward in response to being hit and goes for a straight right across his chin once he is standing back up fully. Someone seems a wee bit angry.

Judging by his landing it looks like Duck had no real plans to get back up to a standing position. It is a low crouch and even as Leona is stepping forward the King of Ducks is planning his next move. He ends up falling on his ass and kicking his feet forward into her own to knock her forward. She might still land the punch as she falls forward, but in the end it looks much more painful for Leona when she gets caught up in the spinning hurricane that is known as Duck King. He twirls about on his back while limbs keep the mercenary entangled as others punch and kick and eventually she is tossed aside and leaving the dancer feeling a bit dizzy as he gets back to his feet.
It would seem the unorthodox style of Duck is being more problematic than Leona had imagined. He may be a baffoon, but he is actually a skilled one. Sadly this is also the point where Leona has decided to not to play around as much and instead focus her intention on making her opponent stay down. If anything Duck does get her on the ground for the first time this fight given that move of his. She lands on her side and slaps a gloved hand hard on the dance floor. "Time to end this." she says with a slight growl in her tone after getting up. She rears back a fist while charging forward again, putting all her weight into it as she aims to slam it right into Duck King's chest and set off an explosion that will rock the building itself and probably end up sending Duck to the floor in a painful manner.

"Damn woman, you are one tough cookie." the dancer calls out to his opponent. The fact that he has done this well against her has him in a rather good move. Good enough when she comes forward with that punch he thinks he can take it without a problem. Looks like he missed the memo on the fact that this woman can carry more than just a strong wallop in her fist. He rushes forward to meet her and he soon realizes his mistake as soon as he feels a weird warmth hit his chest when punched that explodes outwards and sends him flying up high and away from Leona. He lands off in the ground making many of the onlookers gasp in surprise.
There are a few moments of silence before everyone cheers upon seeing a big thumbs up. His shirt is burnt in the chest area and he looks shakey as hell, but he is still looking happy as can be. "Nice work, but watch what I can do!" he cries out and he bolts through the crowd and jumps straight at Leona. Time for the pain train!

Floating, floating...sinking! Wham, right onto the dancefloor the airborne Duck King lands and he quickly strikes forward with a open palmed attack to the woman's chest to throw her off guard. And then that is when he makes his move. With a giant flurry of punches the King of Ducks continues his assualt before flipping forward and catching himself on his hands and then dropping to his shoulder where he spins about bouncing from shoulder to shoulder and assaulting Leona further with his assault that ends with him giving one giant mule kick to her gut. "HAH!"
Ill preparation for such an attack is the downfall of Leona once again. She felt confident that she could have taken him down in that strike, but yet he got back up. This was not looking good at all. She had underestimated her opponent greatly. That is why she is paying for it in spades when Duck King attacks her again. She is more stout than most of the female fighters one might encounter, but even she has a hard time standing up from this barrage that leaves her rather battered and laying on the edge of the dancefloor when she lands. Her blue hair is rather frazzled and almost coming out from the dog tags that were used to tie it up and keep it out of her face. "Stay down!" she growls loudly and then lunges forward with her arm extending and her hand coming out to slash about with a wave of chi that is much larger than her first one. A large blast meant to take Duck down once and for all.

"I'm not gonna go down and if I am I am taking you with me!" comes the battle cry of a defiant Duck King. As Leona rushes forward so does he. He knows he can do this. He has taken the best of her hits and still stands. All he has to do is stay fun-KAY. He leaps upwards and goes to launch himself forward again, but this time it is met with less stellar results. That wave of chi slams into him and there is a cry of surprise and pain as he gets thrown back after riding the wave for a short while. He lays there rather dazed for afew long moments and he then raises his head some to look over at the still standing mercenary. "You....win." With that being said be passes the hell out. Looks like he has alot more work to do if he is going to dazzle the people this weekend for Saturday Night Fights.
A step back and a resuming of her fighting stance is what follows the attack. Given the way he was coming at her she wasn't sure what to expect from him at this point. Whatever he has planned seems to at least be overpowered and there is a few moments of hesitence even after he admits defeat before she lets herself relax slightly. "I stand corrected. You aren't a waste of time." she murmurs to him while finally letting her hair fall loose once again and replacing the dog tags back around her neck. It is time to stop underestimating people no matter who they may be. This is going to be a long hard road to deal with if she is going to have to deal with close fights like this one.
COMBATSYS: Leona has ended the fight here.
