Description: Among the dank streets of England two fighters clash. The prize? A spot in the World Warrior tournament. A hard-fought fight with Nagase coming out over the Canadian wrestler, Rylee. (Winner: Nagase)
Ah, beautiful England. At least to some. To Nagase, this place was as close to horrible as things could get. Terrible food, at least in her humble opinion, and odd accents. We'll just ignore the fact that her English probably carried an accent of it's own. Having spent the morning shut up in her darkened hotel room, Nagase had arrived a good fifteen minutes early before her World Warrior fight was to start. And where was it, exactly?
Sniffling a bit, she brings a hand up to rub at her nose as she gazes down from her perch atop a two-story, brick building, down at the street below. As far as roads went, it was rather quaint and gave Nagase the feeling of old-fashioned. Lots of brick in roads and buildings, lots of policemen maintaining a cordon around a cut-off section of street, and a meager crowd already gathered, vendors hawking wares to the crowd of potential consumers.
In the lenses of her glasses, the clock ticks closer towards the starting time, and well, there was no sense in waiting any longer. Standing up straight and tall upon the edge of the building, Nagase adjusts her coat before hopping down off of the building, landing in a crouch. Leisurely rising, leisure allows permeates her stance as she strolls over to her side of things, setting her hands on her hips as she awaits the arrival of her opponent.
COMBATSYS: Nagase has started a fight here.

Europe is starting to feel like a third home the way that Rylee has been taking trips to it for her fights as of late. Not that she minds such a thing. It is a good thing that all expenses are paid though since her usual earnings couldn't stand the strain of buying plane tickets day in and day out to get to where she needs to be. And what a place to be this evening? This is a qualifier of one of the elite fighting tourneys and something Rylee was amazed to be picked for as one of the fighters that has a chance to advance into the actual prestigious event.
Her arrival is near the time of the scheduled fight and a small cab pulls up not far from the closed off area of the street before the rather tall woman emerges from the cab. "Keep the change." she mumbles while not bothering to pull the half smoked cigarette from her lips as she tosses a few pounds at the cabby. She lets out a slow exhale of smoke before pulling the cig free finally and flicks it aside before approaching. She hasn't really heard of her opponent so there was no way to study up on them. Instead it will be do or die time for Rylee and to see if she really deserves the shot she was given.
"Eh, good luck and all of that to you." she says casually while pulling out a pair of fingerless gloves and starts to tug them on. She then cracks her knuckles while giving a rather snarky looking grin and then takes up a fighting pose with her arms raised and one leg cocked at the knee. "Lets do this."
COMBATSYS: Rylee has joined the fight here.

Cigarette smoke. That was something Nagase often had to keep her equipment safe from, in the Syndicate, and the very sight or smell of it caused her to wince. That's what fueled the disgusted crinkle of her nose at the very sight of it. Keeping her left hand upon her hip, she settles her weight entirely upon her rightmost foot, allowing that arm, laden with her access drive, to dangle free. As her weight shifts upon her right foot, her head cants to the right in tandem.
"Hmmm..." she murmurs, not quite responding to Rylee's urgings just yet. "Yea, yea, good luck and all that." she replies, still not quite falling into a fighting stance, herself. In fact, even after the judge, a slightly portly man in a tuxedo, gives the signal, Nagase still wouldn't make any move to start. On the outside, it would appear that she was doing absolutely nothing. However... well, she was taking in every little detail about the new (to Nagase) fighter, her glasses and software working overtime to analyze her movements.
COMBATSYS: Nagase focuses on her next action.

There is a tilt of the Canadian's head as she regards the other fighter for a few brief moments. Looks like all sorts of people are coming into this thing and she isn't the only one that is one of the surprise names on the prelim card. She takes a deep breath and when the judge issues for the fight to begin Rylee is ready for any sort of assault that is brought her way. The only thing is the fact she doesn't get attacked at all which is somewhat surprising in itself.
"Ahh, the cautious type." she mumbles to herself and can already seeing things possibly going bad for her rather soon. She rather prefers the 'I punchy you if you punchy me' fighters, but this isn't really a surprise that the other fight isn't that type. Well if she isn't going to strike then Rylee will be quick to oblige by breaking into a run and launching herself forward to slam her knee right into the other fighter. "Time to make this a good show for the people! HAH!"

Rylee 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Nagase
As Rylee dashes forward, the look upon Nagase's face may register as annoyance. She wasn't ~nearly~ as done analysing her opponent as she would like. Gaze lingering just a moment more to get just a flickering amount of how Rylee dashes forward, Nagase tenses, and was already in motion away before the knee could reach her. Sneakers clattering on the asphalt, Nagase answers with a nearly-hissed "Pfft!" through pursed lips.
Spinning around on one foot, she positions herself in front of Rylee, and hops up into the air a bit as she tries to drive her knee into Rylee's own gut. That would just be the beginning, an attempt to double the Canadian over. The follow-up would be the meat of the move, Nagase recovering, and flipping forward to land upon her back, or shoulders if she remained standing, trying to drive her earthwards.

There is a soft tch in annoyance when she misses her mark, but Rylee is quick to recover from her attack to get her feet planted firmly on the ground before having to deal with Nagase's own strike. She brings a leg up as well as ducking down to lower her arms letting that knee drive into them to let most of the blow get absorbed that way. She then loses sight for a rather brief moment till she feels the weight of the girl slam onto her shoulders causing the Canadian to elicit a slight grunt. "Hey get off of there." as she swings rather wildly and if anything the other fighter might catch a punch to her rear end for her troubles.

Wild swings do not an easy hit make. And frankly, Nagase would rather her behind not be punched, thank you. Avoiding the swing was as easy as hopping off of Rylee's shoulders, hitting the ground right in front of her, and hopping backwards. But as she hops backwards, Nagase clenches her fist, a fiery red glow appearing within her grasp as she tosses that towards Rylee as she lands. "At least you aren't weak!" she chirps, the ball of chi bouncing along the ground as it makes its way towards Rylee.

At least the weight is thrown off her shoulders at that point even if her flailing really did nothing to help. With a bit of a grunt she shakes her head and gets prepared for whatever the other fighter might try next. That just happens to be something she is never too happy to see. Taking a deep breath she starts to step back almost as if she is ready to just try to block it, but at the last moment she tries to move out of the way and she pays for it by getting hit rather hard and getting knocked back onto her ass by the blast. "That was just luck." she mutters and starts to get back to her feet, taking time to brush herself off and taking a few deep breathes. Okay, new change of tactics. Take more time in judging the girl before rushing in again.
COMBATSYS: Rylee gains composure.

Landing on the ground, it's obvious by the defensive stance that Nagase immeadiately assumes, that she was expecting a counterattack. Perhaps lucky for her, no such thing happens. Taking a moment to favor Rylee with a wicked grin, Nagase's red eyes stare out over the tops of the opaque-seeming yellow lenses of her glasses. "Maybe. Or maybe you're too slow. You're big and tough looking, you shoulda just taken it like a... er..." Nagase stops, a double-blink showing her momentary confusion. "Like... a tough thing."
Rolling her eyes at herself, she begins to dash towards Rylee... lifting up her knee as if to try to ram her knee into Rylee's gut once more. However, there is a flicker, and where once Nagase was in front of Rylee, in the very next moment she was behind her, trying to grab her from behind, and leap into the air with her. Should that work out, she would kinda twist backwards in the air and spin horizontally. It was sorta-kinda like a suplex, but with a literal twist to it.

Rylee 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Nagase
As the other fighter dashes in the brow of the Canadian furrows some watching the movements. She is damn quick, but also she seems to be trying the same thing twice. That is fine by Rylee as she actually steps into the strike to let the knee hit into her gut which causes her to grunt. Of course she is satisfied with taking a bit a pain since Nagase soon finds the larger fighter getting ahold of an arm and dragging her to the ground by it as Rylee puts her weight on Nagase's back and locking that grabbed arm between her legs and slapping her hands around the ninja's chin to tug back on it and make a nice stretching tug to tweak the neck and back before letting to and getting back to her feet. "I hope you are more durable than you look. Otherwise I might surprise you a few times."
What emanates from Nagase as soon as she is grabbed, can only be described as a squeak. A squeak that turns into a rather natural grunt of pain as she feels things pulled where they ought not be pulled. Rolling to the side as soon as she is released, Nagases wastes no time in springing back up to her feet, attempting to run around Rylee's side, and whip out her foot at the side of her knee as she passes. "Well, maybe I'll surprise you too!" she grumbles.

That kick sails in and hits Rylee rather hard. It is enough to make her stagger some in an attempt to keep her footing. With a bit of a smirk she nods some in response to the comment before straightening back up. "Yeah I am sure ya will. You fighters have done nothing but surprise me since I made the jump." she replies then moves in quickly again as she speaks those last words. She raises a long leg and attempts to plant it right on the knee of the other fighter to push off it as a boost to swing her other leg in a roundhouse meant to smal into the back of Nagase's head. "Hup, hah!"

The foot strikes Nagase's knee rather solidly, red eyes opening wide with shock. The followup, however, Nagase seems to almost sense, as she ducks her head downward, the hard kick only scraping the top of her head. That was enough to send her staggering forward, a hand reflexively rising, as if to grasp at her head. "-Ow-." she whines, nostrils flaring somewhat as she reaches behind herself to take ahold of the hilt of the weapon at her back. Drawing it in a smooth motion, she attempts to cut up at Rylee, from foot to top of torso.
But that wouldn't be the end of it. Undulating and twisting like a windmill, another cut would soon follow from bottom to top again, followed by a third, Nagase kicking out a foot behind herself for balance as she twists and cuts thrice.

Rylee 1/------=/=======|=======\-------\1 Nagase
She is a rather slick little fighter for sure. It looks like trying to out strike Nagase is a next to impossible task. She is just so quick which leads her to learn that she just needs to try to treat the ninja as if she is one of the luchadors she used to have to deal with in the past. Speaking of luchadors, the thought of that pops an idea into the Canadian's head and even as Nagase starts to slam into her she is grinning widely while taking ahold of a leg and jumping up to slam her knee down into the backside of the other fighter to knock her to the ground and land on her again. She bends the leg she has ahold of back and while the move isn't locked in fully she waves her free arm around while shouting "ODELAY!" loudly before getting up after another few torques on Nagase's leg.
Nagase bites her lower lip to ward against the pain of her leg being wrenched, the girl rolling away and rising into an unsteady stand, her stance wary. Very very wary. "Did you just... yodel? Did you just yodel at me?" she says, looking, if nothing else, disturbed. And what do disturbed ninjas do? Well, they throw crap at people. In this case, a kunai. Flicking her arm to her side, a kunai flies down to settle into the palm of her hand, the hilt topped with a little plastic panda bear. Throwing that in Rylee's way as distraction, Nagase backflips backwards, attempting to gain a little more space between herself and the brawler. Cuz staying up close sure wasn't working.

There is a bit of a brow twitch. People these days. They just don't have any culture at all it would seem. Of course most would argue knowing about the Spanish culture isn't anything to brag about. Let Rylee doesn't let it get to her and instead tries to stay focused on the fight. There is a problem with that, though since Nagase is already putting distance between herself and Rylee while throwing something. Once again the Canadian waits too long to get out of the way and she gets pegged by the kunai. well at least it was tipped with something so it stung more than anything. With a slight huff she shakes her head to clear the cobwebs again and then settles back into her fighting position. "Tricky little minx."
COMBATSYS: Rylee gains composure.

Rylee 1/------=/=======|=======\=------\1 Nagase
Still looking rather unnerved at the "yodel", Nagase instead decides to keep the distance she has so happily gained for the moment. In fact, she cants her head slightly to one side, and the lenses of her glasses begin to darken to red. Instead of just languidly standing still, she does manage a grin at what Rylee says, falling into a combat stance of her own. "Thanks."
COMBATSYS: Nagase focuses on her next action.

There is a soft tch that comes from Rylee as she finishes taking her little breather and starts to slowly circle about the other fighter trying to look for some sort of opening. She has to be quick and try to keep the other girl on her toes. Of course said girl has been dancing about on those toes and easily avoiding her strikes way too easily. With a deep breath she claps her hands. "All right. Here I come." she cries out and then comes charging in her usual baffoonish manner while hands attemp to just grab the girl to pick her up and flip her up over her shoulder to land hard on the ground. "Kyah!"

At first glance, Ryle just might think that her move worked. Because Rylee's able to grab Nagase well enough, toss her over her shoulder well enough, even elicting a cry of surprise from Nagase... but the thing is, the ninja landed upon her feet on the other side of Rylee. And it was at that point that a whirring noise may be noticeable. If one were to listen close enough, one might trace the whirring noise to her bulky glove on her right hand, namely, the access drive.
That is, unless they blinked. Because in the very next instant, Nagase disappears, predator-style. In fact, if Rylee is paying enough attention, she may see the outline of Nagase as she creeps up behind her, reaches out to place a hand upon both of her shoulders... right before the cloak fades, and Nagase channels every last bit of chi she has in her, into the body of Rylee.

Rylee 1/=======/=======|==-----\-------\0 Nagase
Doom decends upon the Canadian in the form of the attacking ninja. There isn't much she can do in response to the quickness of the strike that ends up slamming into her and sending Rylee's world reeling as she is suddenly feels the rather large force of the blast that knocks the fighter away and hard into the pavement face first and laying there limp for a few moments. Then there is movement and soon a hand raises to show she is still concious. With a light puff she pushes upwards while grumbling. "Not down yet." She rolls over to remain seated for now, taking a few deep breathes as she looks across at Nagase. "That all you got? I hope not." Of course she doesn't seem to be moving any time soon.
COMBATSYS: Rylee drops her guard to recover.

Rylee 1/=======/=======|==-----\-------\0 Nagase
There is a look of victory upon Nagase's face after the assault, her breaths coming to her heavier and heavier due to the exertion of the channeling. In fact, she was already standing up tall, and preparing to walk out of the area when Rylee gets back up again. In response to that, Nagase releases a low whistle, slowly turning her head to the side to glance over her shoulder towards the warrior. "Dayum." she murmurs with a note of awe, striding towards the edge of the arena anyways.
Where was she heading? Towards a mailbox. Loosening it with a sharp kick, she brings her hands up to yank it from the ground before then turning towards Rylee, and flashing her a bright grin. "Make this easier on yourself, and just... stop moving, alright?" she says, before chucking aforementioned mailbox towards Rylee, bits of undelivered mail falling out of the open flap as it flies thataway.

Well if anything the mailbox is enough to knock her to the ground one more time as she even tries to put her arms up in an attempt to take the brunt of the blow. Looks like there is no luck with that as she lands with the thing on top of her. There is a bit of a grunt and that mailbox gets shoved to the side and slowly the Canadian somehow manages to find her footing despite looking battered all to hell. She offers no reply and she looks like she is running on fumes at this point as she staggers about and then comes forward to reach for Nagase and slump forward as hands reach for her. A grip might lead to something, otherwise the Canadian slumps forward and ends up taking a nap.
COMBATSYS: Rylee can no longer fight.

The grip didn't quite lead to anything, it seems, but a sharp squeeze and a "grk!" of pain from Nagase, before Rylee slumps to the ground. Experimentally, Nagase extends her foot to prod Rylee's side a few times, in case she did more of her little scarytough acts. "Honestly..." Nagase begins, voice rising with pride. "I'm impressed. Not that you can hear me, but..." To be sure of her opponents unconciousness, Nagase levels a kick at the side of Rylee's head, and tilts her head towards the judge, waiting to be declared winner. Once that happens, it's time for the ninja to vanish, disappearing into the crowd in spite of her colorful getup, and leaving for parts unknown.
