Description: A no holds barred cage match between Hinako and Yuri on one side, and Lykaio, Momoko, and Vyle on the other! Vyle and his teammates may not get along very well, but that doesn't keep them from managing to pull out a victory. (Winners: Lykaio, Momoko, Vyle)
A large steel cage with massive iron bars. Even with the size, given that five people are going to be fighting in it, it may end up being a little smaller than some are used to. The roar of the crowd and the huge iron door giving off a claustrophobic feeling before one even enters.
A young greek in a grey business suit with white hair stands in the center of the steel cage, a somewhat apprehensive look on his face. "Is this... really what fighting is about?" Lykaio frowns slightly, but as he looks around at the relative cheerfulness of the crowds, he relaxes a little. Crowds never want to see anything truly bad happen, after all, right?
A couple of flashes of light, and he slowly releases three electrical orbs from the palms of his hands. They float around him, electricity arcing between them from time to time, and he glances around again for his allies and opponents.
One of his allies is... pretty much his opposite in every way. He's tall, this little Japanese girl isn't. He's got light hair, she's got dark. He looks like a professional, she looks like... well a short dark-haired Japanese girl with a misguided sense of fashion design.
And she's twelve -- quite possibly the youngest fighter to make it onto the much-heralded Saturday Night Fight programme. The fact that she's twelve is rather... obvious, considering a thirtysomething Japanese man in the audience is holding up a hand-painted sign that reads 'HAPPY 12TH, MOMOKO!!!!' Subtle, that. And there's a small gaggle of junior-high-school girls gathered around him too. Unusual!
But... nonetheless, the girl walks in not long after the lights appear! ... Well, she walks for some of the way, but once she is beneath the raised cage, she covers the distance to Lykaio with a series of forward handsprings! Flexible, she is! "Hello! I'm Momoko! I'll be one of your partners for this fight!" She beams cheerily up at him for a moment, before turning away to wave back and forth to the audience! So many people here!
As the two strange bedfellows converse, the announcer quickly gets to introducing them, making sure that everyone at the least knows their names.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this fight is a STEEL CAGE, 2 on 3 Handicap Match! The only way to win is by knockout! Introducing the first team, hailing from Greece...LYKAAAIIIOOOO!! His partner, coming from Hamaoka Japan....MOOOMOKOOOOO! And their partner..."
"TWO TAPES IN THE DECK, SET TO DUB OVER, PRESS RECORD AND ABSORB THE SUBCULTURE!" Oh yeah, time to show them what an entrance is all about. Purple and green lights strobe about the entrance aisle as Vyle surges on down toward the ring, goading the crowd for all he can, a mixed response. It's obvious, though, that many of them are familiar with Vyle and boo him accordingly. "Making his debut in a World Wrestling Confederation ring, he is the infamous Sickness and former World Tag Team Champion....VYYYYYYYYYYLLLEE!" Ignoring his partners for the time being, Vyle climbs up on one of the turnbuckles, making several gestures to the crowd, many of them unfit for prime-time TV. Oh yeah, this is his element.
Hinako didn't bother to pick out any entrance music for herself. Sumo is somewhat more... subdued than pro wrestling, and big flashy entrances aren't her style. She simply walks up toward the cage while the announcer begins to introduce her and her teammate. She gives Vyle a cool glance when she makes it up onto the fighting floor, but she does bow to both Lykaio and Momoko. "I hope we can have a good fight!"
That taken care of, the sumo girl makes a few last minute checks to make sure that her shoes are properly tied, the tape on her hands is on properly, and that the clips holding her beret to her hair are properly set. Well, how did you /think/ she manages to get through a fight without losing it? Good as she is at not falling down, it's going to happen sooner or later.
Iron?! I thought this was a STEEL cage match! Geeze... is the World Wrestling Federation or whoever getting cheap on us? Regardless the whole setup is rather intimidating - even to the youngest Kyokugen fighter, Yuri, as she glances around at the claustrophobia-inducing surroundings. She raises one hand and scratches the back of her head, all the while thinking to herself that this must be one of Geese's wet dreams or something. Yuri in a cage! Wooo! Though if they try to kidnap her tonight they have another thing coming!
... at least... no, maybe not.
Yuri glances across at her opponents first. A young greek individual wearing a grey business suit. Is he for real? I mean, who wears a business suit to fight! "Easy..." the young woman whispers to herself, before looking to her next opponent. Err... looking down that is? Who is this girl! Only 12 years old? Geeze, what is it with Geese and young girls in cages? Regardless Yuri just smirks, "Super Easy..." Finally though her eyes slip over to the guy making a BIG entrance. This just gives Yuri an even bigger smirk as she finishes, "Super Mega Easy!"
As she enters the cage itself she raises her hand to her fans in the crowd, which seem a bit thinner in number since her lost to Dan the other night! ... but no matter, she'll get some back this fight for sure! She didn't pick out any music for herself either, not so much because she wouldn't... but because she didn't really know she could!
"Ah well! This should be super easy, let's take them down quick and go do some karaoke or something, huh?" She punches one of her hands with her fish while grinning eagerly towards the three they are facing down. Uneven odds? Not with Yuri here! They need at least three to take her down...
In her own mind anyway...

Lykaio stares at Momoko for a long moment. "You're... short. Wait a minute, you're just a little girl! What are you doing fighting like this?" A bit of concern and disgust slips onto his face. "You... shouldn't be fighting like this, at your age...."
He shakes his head a little, and turns back, interposing himself between Momoko and their opponents as they enter... then glancing over to Vyle for a moment to give him a bit of a raised eyebrow at those gestures. "A pleasure fighting with you." He inclines his head slightly to Hinako. "Heroine in White. Nice to see you again." The same slight nod to Yuri, even if he looks at her more briefly... and then he narrows his eyes, snatching one of his orbs from the air as he stares at the two of them.

So Momoko's got one person wishing her well in this fight... and that's an opponent. And her other opponent is just cocky! Should be a good fight, so long as her team works together, right? Momoko beams happily!
... And yet the taller teammate is saying he doesn't have faith in her abilities, and the shorter teammate is acting like no one else is even here. Momoko beams... somewhat less happily!
But maybe the mismatched trio will still manage to pull out a win against the two high-schoolers. That's the hope, anyway! "Right!" she shouts, high-pitched voice carrying surprisingly well for such a tiny fighter! "Is everyone ready for a fun fight?" Momoko leans in, cupping her hand to her ear as the crowd erupts into cheering!
And just about then, the cage starts lowering -- no escape for these fighters! "Fighters, begin!" Momoko seems more than adequately prepared, though, as she dives right towards Yuri, sailing towards her in a somersaulting kick! "Haaaaaa!" Let's see how 'Super Easy' this match can really be!
Vyle snorts at Lykaio and Momoko. He really doesn't care about either of his partners. He just wants to indulge in some steel cage mayhem. If they get in the way...well, sucks to be them. They can help, or be fodder. Leaping down from the turnbuckle, he drops to the canvas, pacing alongside their side of the ring from turnbuckle to turnbuckle and shaking his arms out. Finally, once the bell rings, Vyle's in action. He charges toward his chosen target, who unfortunately seems to be Hinako. Trying to grab onto her head by her hat and hair, he pulls at her and yanks her toward the cage wall, hoping to send her crashing into it rather violently.

Grabbing a girl by her hair? How uncouth! Hinako is going to have to teach Vyle the error of his ways. When the wrestler's hand closes on her hair, Hinako reaches out in an attempt to grab him by the arm and shoulder. Unfortunately, she's a bit too slow to give a good test of who's better at throwing people around. Vyle's got some momentum behind him, and once Hinako gets pulled back and off balance there's not much she can do to avoid being slammed up against the side of the cage.

So one's going to stay back while the other two play melee huh? Not a bad setup actually! Regardless, Yuri isn't going to get too distracted. As Momoko rushes towards her, somersaulting into the air with a vicious kick... Yuri simply blocks the attempt with one arm! She then leaps away from the little girl while saying, "Oi oi... don't be in such a rush! I'll get to you soon enough. Hey Hina..." CRASH... "...ko." She turns to the young female wrestler just in time to see her body crash into the side of the cage. Well there's that, it seems!
"Hey! Get off of my team-mate!" Yuri calls out, before rushing towards her opponent - leaving poor lil Momoko behind for now. She gets up close before finally leaping through the air, with both feet towards Vyle. Her goal in mind? Smack him in the side, hard, so that Hinako will have a chance to recover! Will it work? Well... that's an interesting question now isn't it?
Lykaio blinks as Momoko dives past him, then runs after her. His eyes narrow a bit as Vyle smashes Hinako into the side of the cage, and he turns towards the wrestler for a moment with a slight frown... and then Yuri rushes off to kick Vyle.
A slight smile plays around Lykaio's lips, and he pauses for a moment, then waits for Yuri to finish attacking his ally. He frowns after a moment, feeling a little bad- he's not supposed to leave an ally alone after all, is he? That seems almost as bad as Shenwoo. Of course, this Vyle guy is looking almost as bad as Shenwoo... but, don't judge the book by it's cover, right? Finally, he rushes in quickly, swinging a electrically-imbued heel kick towards the back of her leg.
Yuri's left her alone? It's like musical chairs, only instead of chairs, there are people, and instead of sitting, there is punching and kicking and the occasional throw. And the music doesn't stop. Okay, it's a terrible analogy for everything except the part where Momoko ends up without a place to direct her attention. And no one wants an upset pre-teen.
With Yuri busy and Hinako distracted otherwise, however, it seems like a perfect opportunity for Momoko to charge up behind the littlest sumo with a surprise attack! She leaps into the air, twisting around in midair so that she lands with her back to Hinako. But she doesn't stop her forward momentum, no -- as she's coming right towards Shijou, rump first, hoping to land a series of three successive strikes! "Jaa! Jaa! Jaaaaaan!"

AS IF.
As soon as Vyle turns around and sees that dropkick come in...well, he's got plans for her. Sidestepping so she flies past in front of him, he quickly brings his arm down, dropping it across her collar bone and falling to one knee. HIs plan? Dropp her right onto his knee in one nasty looking backbreaker-type move. "How about I get you off then, eh sweet cheeks? After match, if you're not in traction still by then?" he asks mockingly, giving her a pat on the thigh before rolling her off his knee. He's not here to make friends, folks.

Hinako blinks for a moment at Momoko's rather unorthodox attack. Still, a major point of participating in fights like this is to learn how to effectively use sumo to counter all sorts of different fighting styles! It... It isn't very difficult for Hinako to just cross her arms and let Momoko's butt bounce off, though.
And now it's Hinako's turn! Given the position in which Momoko comes into contact with Hinako, it hopefully shouldn't be too difficult for the sumo to uncross her arms and grab the younger fighter by the hips. If she can manage that, she's going to hurl Momoko skywards. Unfortunately for Momoko, there's the issue of the roof of the cage.

Well... damn!
Seriously, that's all that Yuri can think of as she misses her target. It's even worse when he grabs her, and proceeds to SLAM her down on his knee. It hurts. Not too bad, but enough to make her gasp out in pain. And worse, the guy takes a moment to feel her up!
... what is it with people and trying to fondle her lately?
Either way she finally rolls off the knee, and lays on the ground for a moment - still recovering from the attack when Lykaio comes in to make his own dent on the poor Kyokugen fighter. She raises her hand, crossing her arms just in time to block the kick - though the surge of electrified chi rushes through her arms, causing considerably more pain than it would normally. She finally rolls to the side and jumps onto her feet. Shake it off girl! You're still in this fight.
Turning to face both of her opponents at once, Yuri scowls slightly. Light crimson (or pink, if you prefer) chi gathers into her hand, flashing to life. "Ko'ou... oh... wait a moment..." she pulls it back again, cupping the chi with both hands an super charging the ball with more energy before spreading out her arms towards them both, "Haoh Sho Ko Ken, SPECIAL!"
Why is it special, you might ask? Becuase it's actually aimed between Vyle and Lykaio... and when it reaches that point detonates in a flash of energy!

... Well, yes. Momoko is finding it =very= hard to get out of the way of Hinako's reach! She... well, finds that she's picked up and lobbed to the ceiling with great haste! "Iyaaa!" she howls...
Just before finding her path abruptly halted by a surface which is remarkably dissimilar to that of a steel cage! ... What on earth?
Lykaio lowers his foot... then blinks as he realizes what Vyle just said while beating Yuri up, and points a finger at him, proclaiming loudly, "Don't you dare speak vile words, or I may find I have no choice but to pound you into the floor."
His eyes widen as he sees Hinako move to throw Momoko into the air, eyes widening... the Greek glances back to Yuri as she begins to supercharge her energy ball, and suddenly... raises the ball in his own hands, jumping up into the air above where Yuri's energy ball is headed, and squeezing the orb in his hand, releasing a layer of electrical energy downwards that shields him from the explosion... and sends him even higher, where he grabs onto Momoko a second before she hits the roof, twisting his body so he takes the hit.
He blinks a couple of times as he notices he's falling, and wrenches his body around again, landing beneath her and releasing her so she can hopefully roll off with minimal damage. The trip, however, has not been fun, and for the moment, he's pretty out of it.

... Well, that was interesting! Momoko had little choice but to hold on for the ride, really! But... once she realizes what just happened, she's... well, it's a stretch to call the perpetually cheerful girl =upset=, but she's not smiling as much. "D-don't worry about me, mister! I-I can take care of myself!" is her meek protest as she is rolled to safety, blinking dumbly back at Lykaio for a moment. She wanted to attack... but really, um... wow.
She just bows back to her opponents, for lack of something better to do. "I'm sorry for the delay!" But seriously, that messed her =up=. She resumes her 'ginga' stance, swishing from one foot to the other, keeping her eyes on her opponents -- badly in need of a 'reset' to get her mind back into the fight! Short attention spans will do that, after all...
Meanwhile, up in the stands, her teacher and companion shakes his head, while the gaggle of junior-high-schoolers breaks out into confused, giggling banter.

Well, that was no fun. Vyle tried to leap out of the way of the massive energy ball that Yuri sent their way....but the resulting explosion was tricky enough that it catches the diving wrestler, sending him flying off in a non-too-pleasant heap. Groaning, he rolls off to one of the sides of the cage, hissing. "Sunovab..." he mutters, trying to get a bit of a breather before he does anything else.

"Good going, Yuri!" Hinako gives her teammate a thumbs up as the blast crashes into Vyle. Yes, Hinako may not be the biggest fan of energy attacks... But hey, Vyle deserves it. Speaking of which... The sumo turns toward Vyle and frowns at the man. "Even your teammates are finding you repugnant! What kind of fighter are you? Don't you have any honor?"
She doesn't wait for an answer, though, as she's already moving toward Vyle. Since he's seen fit to stand so close to the edge of the cage, Hinako's going to try to use it to her advantage, hitting him in the stomach with a double palm strike meant to drive him back against the bars. She then follows up by trying to yank him forward and send him flying back toward the other fighters.
EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT... to see her special attack blocked in such a manner. Did it even do any thing at all? Any thing noticeable? Oh wait, it DID hit Vyle. Joy! That's right, that's what you get. You thought you could feel up Yuri for free? Think again!
Yuri does take a moment to grin towards Vyle, "Kochi kochi!" she calls out before patting her butt at him. However it looks like he won't have any time to attack her, that is if Hinako's attack manages to work out. So, instead, she suddenly rushes towards where Hinako intends to throw the annoying wrestler. If she times it right she'll jump into the air and attempt to slam him back down to the earth with a chi-powered downwards hammer to the stomach! If ... Hinako should fail somehow, she'll just rush towards wherever Vyle is standing and do the same anyway!
Flexibility baby - get some of it!
Lykaio slowly rises to his feet... and sees Vyle getting ganged up on by two women. Not a huge suprise, there. He glances to Momoko to make sure she's all right, but since she seems to be hanging in there... he rushes towards Hinako, feinting a punch to the head before slamming his other fist in a palm strike towards her stomach - and then releasing a torrent of electrical energy. A bit of a grimace on his face as he does so.

Of course Momoko's okay! She hasn't even been touched thanks to her knight in shining armor! ... Though she did need a moment to really figure out what she ought to do here!
Not to mention, come to grips with her horribly filthy teammate. Her face reddens as she hears what he's saying, but she's also paying close heed to the effect it's having on her opponents. It's really unnerving them, it would seem! And that... means openings! That is to say, Yuri's coming down from an aerial attack -- so it only makes sense she'll have less control over her landing. And Momoko, conversely, has a clear point to target!
So she leads off with a backsault, flipping back to kick Yuri from behind, once with each foot! Should she connect, she'd land quickly, spinning like a helicopter to deliver three revolving kicks into Yuri's midsection -- and then she'd backflip, kicking off Yuri for another two strikes! "Ya-ya! Ya! Hi-YAAAAAA!"
Well, that sucked hard core. Vyle really can't do much at this point but watch as both schoolgirls try and charge at him at once. "Why do all the little bitches-in-training always come after me?!" he growls. As Yuri comes in with her supercharged fist, all Vyle can do is pull back and block the shot. It stings pretty bad though. As for HInako...well, he just letts her grab him, feeling the double palm strike him. "NGhhh...honor? What the hell's that, something losers talk about?" he snaps, grinning rather nastily. THen, when she pulls him around and tries to throw him off...well, thats when he snaps into action. Trying to snag on to Hinako's arms, he twists, trying to pull both of them over a shoulder, and pushing his back against the back of her head. "Never had use for it, nope!" He then turns, spinning Hinako over, bent back over him...until a complete 360 is made, and Vyle drops down, slamming her head first into the ground. THat...of course...is if he can manage to snag her first.

The palm strike to the stomach, that Hinako doesn't mind so much. The electrocution that follows it, however, is a bit of a problem. It also causes a considerable delay in her reaction times, making it that much easier for Vyle to yank her up and off her feet. Spun around, slammed head first into the ground... Well, Hinako can dish it out, but she can also take it.
She manages to flip down to her feet before gravity has too much time to take hold of her dress, then surges back to her feet. It's going to take more than that to bring her down. Looking at Vyle, Hinako just shakes her head for a moment. "It really is a shame. At least your partners seem to be of better character." The sumo girl fails to go on the offensive afterwards, however. She takes a moment to flex her hands, glancing between Lykaio and Vyle. Momoko isn't a threat at the immediate moment, although Hinako doesn't completely ignore the other girl. And the sumo girl has a plan... It's just a question of how best to enact it.

Vyle says, "meters"
THWACK!
That's the first thing Yuri feels as there is a sudden flipping kick from behind. She staggers forward, then quickly turns around to try and meet the assault. However it doesn't quite work out. The attack is already underway, and the attack meet her midsection - each causing her to stagger backwards even more before the final kick drops her back against the ground.
Ouch!
She reaches up and rubs her head, and sees the kind of abuse Hinako is going through as well. So much for all of this being easy! Though she can't stop now. Her ego just wouldn't allow it. She quickly rolls backwards, backflipping back onto her feet just as easy you can please. Though she's clearly favoring her stomach somewhat right now.
"Alright! You're pretty good kid, I'll have to admit. But I guess that just means I should stop ignoring you... huh?" She then reaches out as if to pat Momoko on the head ... before in an act of trickery and slight of hand tries to grab ahold of the front of her outfit! What comes then? Well... you'll see unless Yuri flubs it up!
Lykaio blinks as Vyle smashes Hinako on the ground, wincing a bit at the force of the attack... clearly, though, this teammate is not in trouble with only one girl attacking him. He glances over to Momoko and frowns as Yuri begins to beat up on her. No way he can protect her from that attack in time, but...
The Greek rushes towards Yuri, waiting until she releases Momoko before stepping in front of her. "...Clear!" He smashes both his palms at the student of Kyokugen simultaneously - and should he hit with both, the electrical current is strong enough that it may send her flying.

Momoko bounds back after her successful series of strikes, balling her tiny fists with a meek expression of relief! "Hee... I wasn't sure if that would work!" She even pauses for a moment as Yuri congratulates her, taking a moment to spy upon Hinako! But when she looks back, Yuri's about to pat her on her head! Her instinctive reaction is to beam and close her eyes , because that's what nice older people do to cute little girls like her.
Wait a minute, isn't she an op-- HRRRK! Momoko finds herself hauled up by her pink belt thingamadoo, eyes wide with alarm. Her immediate response =would= have been to slam forward with a headbutt, but Yuri's clearly got the initiative here -- and takes advantage of it! Momoko finds herself slapped six ways till Sunday, the final slap sending her flyyyyyyying backwards, landing just shy of the cage wall!
Boy, is Momoko's face red! But... wow, the cheerful might actually be =angry= at that, folks! She's got the frowny face on and everything! "Th-that was s-sneaky! And it wasn't very nice!!!"
Obviously... Momoko's psychic powers aren't doing much for her here.
After slamming Hinako down with the Dead Spiral, Vyle can really do little more but back off, retreating to a turnbuckle and slumping down. Those attacks really did a number on him. He's gotta heal back up a bit after all that... "Yeah...that's it. You go get 'em. Teach those skirts a lesson," he calls out. Yes, he likes actively antagonizing people. IT's what he does.

Like Hinako is just going to let Vyle sit back there and rest! With Yuri once more providing a distraction, Hinako is free to further instruct Vyle as to why you should be nice to girls. Of course, she'd be hitting him even if he /was/ nice... But she won't be quite as concerned about actually injuring him.
The blonde sumo charges toward Vyle, intending to slam into him full force with her shoulder and drive him back into the bars of the cage. That's just to break through his guard, though. If she pulls it off, things are only just starting.

Well the kid deserved it - dumb brat! She's out-cuting Yuri, and well... that hurts her feelings. Just a lil bit. Actually the real reason that she deserves it is for what Yuri tells her, "Nyaah! Tough words coming from a kid who had to attack me from behind, huh?" She then grips her fist tightly towards Momoko, "Stupid little kids like you really get on my nerves!"
Of course, that's just before she hears someone behind her shout 'CLEAR!' Clear... clear of what? Then suddenly, FOOM! She is smacked hard with much electrically charged chi that she is sent flying into the bars of the cage. Sparks fly, the crowd gasps and claps happily and Yuri... singed as she is, flops back against the floor mumbling, "Ayiyiyi... anyone get the number of that bus?"
She groans loudly, still smoking from the discharge, and starts moving up onto her feet, "Geeze... what is it with people and cheap attacks from behind? I ought to teach you both a lesson... seriously." Huh? Is that a red glow in her eyes? ... no wait, that's just the glare off of one of the overhead lights. Don't worry Momoko!

Lykaio frowns a bit at Yuri, looking vaguely affronted. "I attacked from the front, it's not my fault if you were too slow to see it..." He's silent for a moment. "But... I'm a little glad you still care about such things. You're fighting a twelve year old, a demigod with apparently no moral compulsions whatsoever, and a god who can't control his electrical power... inside a metal cage. Hasn't the whole concept of honor gotten thrown out of the window with these torrid affairs a long time ago?"
He shakes his head a little, staring down at her with a slight frown.

Momoko's face was mostly red from the slapping -- the angry look has all but disappeared by the time Yuri finishes her statement. And gets shocked! ... But like it or not, this is a fight! As much as Momoko would like to switch dance partners, it seems her potty-mouthed teammate has that situation covered! At least, mostly. And the audience is starting to get restless!
"You're going to teach us something? Well, show us! Show us! The audience can't wait much longer, we've got to keep them happy!" And she breaks into a dash!
It looks like she trips, though.
No, actually, it's planned -- she lands on her hands, twists into a cartwheel, intending to bring both heels down like a scythe onto Yuri! "Yaaaa!"

And so Hinako slams Vyle right up against the bars of the cage. She's not done there, of course. Those bars provide a good backing for each of her subsequent hits, as the petite sumo drives a lightning fast series of palm strikes into Vyle's face and torso, juggling him painfully against the bars of the cage.
Finally she wraps her series of blows up with a double handed strike to Vyle's stomach, hitting him hard enough that the bars behind him actually bend under the impact. She then grabs the wrestler and hurls him up and at an angle, aiming for him to hit the ceiling of the cage head first. "What was that about teaching us a lesson?"
Well...that sucked. Vyle was all ready to try and kick Hinako's face in as she advanced. But...his place in the turnbuckle didn't seem to be very conducive to such an attack and he ends up getting cut off just as he was about to attack. And instead of doing something totally hardcore, he gets pummeled into the cage wall, and the life beaten out of him it seems. Very...ow. Very ow....
Well, perhaps Hinako has beaten up on Vyle enough for the time being. There's also the fact that he's currently a fair distance away from her at the moment. So, off to help Yuri! Hinako comes charging back across the cage, and it seems Momoko is the one currently in her sights.
Reaching out for the younger girl, Hinako doesn't attempt to do anything fancy. With someone as light as Momoko, it's barely any effort at all for Hinako to grab her by the shoulders, then yank her off the ground and send her flying away in one smooth motion. Assuming she manages to grab her in the first place, of course.

The audience can't wait much longer eh? That appeals to something very important with Yuri - her ego. Yes. Yuri's ego is a powerful, almost palpable force. You can see it in the light crimson glow that begins to flow from her body, gathering in her hands as she draws them back behind her. Cupping her hands together, one can see the usual Haoh Sho Ko Ken charge-up a flash of crimson chi lighting up within her hands. However there's something unusual. An electric charge that begins rushing through Yuri's body.
It is during this moment that Momoko, the cutest lil psycho that ever could, comes rushing towards her. She 'trips'... cartwheels and comes down with a vicious kick at Yuri's shoulders! A kick that Yuri doesn't even attempt to dodge, instead using the adrenaline from the pain to accentuate her focus as the electricity begins to arc from her body - randomly striking parts of the cage as she stands still.
Then Hinako comes in, attempting to fling Momoko away! Away, and hopefully towards Lykaio. It is at this moment though that Yuri tells Hinako, "Thanks... now move out of the way!" After all she's almost done charging.
She starts to shift her position, moving her arms towards the front as she says softly... "Denjin..." before spreading out her arms in an angle in front of her! "HAOH SHO KO KEN!" The chi is released in a massive, elecrified ball of light crimson chi rushing towards both Hinako and Lykaio. As it moves it continues sending out arcs of electricity that light up the entire cage like a Christmas Tree in New York City! Needless to say, if this sucker hits it's probably not gonna feel good.

Lykaio grabs the second orb from midair, and holds it in front of him with both hands, grimacing as it absorbs the massive electrical power field that arcs out from Hinako. However, it slowly grows larger and larger under this continued barrage as it sucks up more energy. He blinks as Momoko is thrown into the field of fire and then hit with the electrical barrage, and narrows his eyes.
"Well then..." He slowly shoves the gigantic orb out towards Yuri, and it gradually gains speed as it goes through the air. And when it hits, regardless if it's Yuri or just the metal cage... it will explode into a cacophany of electrical fire.
Well, for a moment, Momoko had forgotten about Hinako! Wasn't Vyle taking care of her? Maybe not! So just when Momoko's about to sprint away from Electric Boogaloo Sakazaki over there, Hinako grabs her by the shoulders! "Uwaa?!" she exclaims, suddenly finding herself flung not -away from-, but -towards- Yuri!
"AAAAAAAAH!" she screams, curling into a ball! She's not ready! She could easily have attacked, but panic has the best of the little dynamo -- and panic means she starts glowing a really bright pink, apparently! The electricity crackles over her, her muscles twitching involuntarily from the pulses, but nevertheless she feels =compelled= to stay curled up in a ball and ride it out! Even though it hurts... she can't show a frown to the audience!
... At least, that's the thought that sticks in her mind as the electrical jolts lance through her system, just before she hits the ground, body unrolling and twitching spasmodically.
But -- one half-second later, the girl *BOLTS* back to her feet, slapping herself in the cheeks to shake the numbness out. "M...Momoko... won't give up!" And since Hinako was the one who tossed her into this... guess who faces the little pink dynamo's wrath? That's right -- Hinako! The twelve-year old doesn't waste any time, charging right up to Hinako... and plowing into her with a =headbutt!= "YAAAAA!"
Finally....Vyle's gotten a breather.
...wait, he's seen this before. Every time he tries to rest, he gets bumrushed. Oh no, he's not falling for that again. Sneaky little girls. "Ngh....bitch..." He grunts, pulling himself up from the mat after he was seemingly pasted by Hinako's big assault. Not this time. He's not going to leave himself open for another assault like that THIS time. This time, he charges in. Sure, he's a bit slow from all the pain he's in, but he charges none the less. ANd he leaps toward Yuri, intent on grabbing her by the arm and tossing her into the cage much like he did to Hinako earlier. ANd with Lykaio's attack floating around there...well, the cage is going to be a dangerous place.

Momoko's rushing right at her, eh? This shouldn't be a problem! As the younger girl comes charging up to headbutt, Hinako lashes out with one hand, attempting to stop Momoko with a palm to the face. The youngest Psycho Soldier turns out to be a bit too quick for the sumo to deal with, however. Momoko manages to slip past Hinako's attack, getting a clean hit with her headbutt.
It... doesn't appear to hurt Hinako all that much, but it is enough to make her stagger back for a moment "Not bad! But it's going to take more than that to stop me!"

OK, this isn't even funny! OK, maybe it is a little funny to see the spunky and energetic Yuri get karmically bitch slapped for being the arrogant little so-and-so she is, but still, she watches as her super-mega-awesome-spectacular attack get sucked up by Lykaio's energy sphere like it was nothing. Nothing at all! OK, perhaps it was something, but really just below his notice. At least Momoko wasn't so lucky. Hinako's throw combined with her good aim sent that little devillish dervish flying backwards, and officially out of the Kyokugen fighter's hair.
Though things are far from done yet, and Yuri can tell this is true because Vyle comes out of seemingly no where and tries to fling her around. Luckily she manages to wrench herself out of his grasp though, even if doing so stings her arm slightly.
Yep... that's pretty much all it did.
However in comes Lykaio's attack, a projectile of his own. Poor Yuri's on the ropes now isn't she? She needs something. Anything... to save her! Ah, that's right, she does have one trick up her sleeves. Just as the evil electrical orb from Hades sets forth to deliver upon Yuri a hellish smackdown, the Kyokugen Prodigy suddenly reaches towards it with both hands. She yells, "SAIHA!" ... meaning, of course, save me.
Which the move does indeed. Just in time a flash of light crimson chi flowers around her hands. This smacks against the ball, and then suddenly slings it back towards its owner with considerable force! What for Yuri now then? Well... now she's apparently playing a game of keep-away from Vyle, "Eeek! You're the one who tried to grope me earlier, PERVERT!"

Lykaio glances over to Momoko, eyes widening slightly as he sees the aura of pink energy around her... and then widening further when he sees she was relatively unharmed by all that. What exactly is this girl made out of?
He blinks as he sees the orb of electrical fire head it's way back towards him, and he grabs his final orb out of the air, blocking it. It explodes, electrically enhanced... but most of it doesn't even hit him, and he brushes off the electrical fire, just trying to get his thoughts back together. What exactly happened here?

Should it be a =surprise= that Momoko can keep going well beyond her body's physical limits? She's powered by LOVE! She has a pure heart, and, by gum, that means something!
It means she jumps into situations without fully thinking out the consequences! And it shows in the way she springs back from Hinako, both hands clutching onto her forehead. Apparently she hits harder than even =she= wanted to hit... "Itaaaaaaaaiiii..." she bemoans, staggering backward in pain...
But... she's still got an eye on the fight, however distracted she may be. She sees Yuri panicking at Vyle, and fending off Lykaio's attack -- but she also guesses that she can get a hit in from the side! "Here I come!!!" There, she announced herself, so Yuri can't accuse her of sneak attacks! Somersaulting forward, she hopes to flip her legs onto Yuri's shoulders, locking her knees about the Kyokugen-ryuu fighter's neck! If she can manage that, she'd twist sharply to the side for a rather painful chokehold! "Iyaaaan!"
WHere Momoko is powered by love and a pure heart....Vyle is powered by spite, anger, and generally all things vile. Hence the name. So when Yuri starts to panic, Vyle's grin grows wide and manic. Oh, he can use this, yes.... "Yes I am, aren't I? And it's time I got a second taste! COME HERE!" he shouts, cackling as he leaps after Yuri, trying to swing around and grab her from behind and....German Suplex her. So it's not molestation, but it's still not going to be comfortable for Yuri if Vyle gets in on her.
And Momoko?...well, she better have the damn good sense to let go should both of them be successful.
So, Vyle is still standing, and that's really something that ought to be taken care of. Once Hinako recovers from the forehead to the face, she starts running in an attempt to save Yuri from Vyle's evil clutches. "Leave her alone you... you pervert!" Will righteous indignation be enough for Hinako to defeat her foe? It'll be clear soon enough, as she reaches in to slip her hands under his shoulders from behind, intending to yank upwards and send him sailing away over her back.

Ruh-roh Raggy! Yuri's almost out of juice and she's being assaulted on two sides. One by a little girl looking to try her best to make her hurt, and the other a flaming (yes I said flaming) perverted seeking to reach out and touch someone (and later an escape from sharp Italian leather impacting his face). Seeing Momoko flip through the air right towards her, Yuri almost SKIDS to a halt! She doesn't want any of that after all... but... isn't she forgetting someone?
Oh yeah... pervert guy.
She suddenly feels his arms wrapping around her, and she struggles all she can to get free! However... in the end she just feels herself being hauled over and slammed, hard, against the ground of the ring. Oof! She flops back against the ground after enduring such a beating, and it's clear she's just about done. Mostly from how she does her best baby deer impression while trying to get back up on her feet - all awkward and wobbly.
Sad ain't it?
Still she shakes her head, mumbling to herself, "Not... done yet... still got one more thing..." With that she raises both hands above her head, gripping them together before trying to SLAM them down atop of Vyle in a flash of crimson chi. If he has extraordinarily bad luck, he might also get hit in a particularly bad place! Not that it's intentional... Yuri's too punch drunk to know what she's hitting at. Regardless... once she's done she flops down to the mat with her usual cry, "Oto-san, gomen!"

And with Yuri down, that... just leaves Hinako. Lykaio stares at her for a moment. Still, she's not getting attacked yet, so he's not really triple-teaming her, right...?
"Prepare yourself, Heroine in White." A faint smile and nod of his head to her, and then he rushes in, using flashes of light to seem to teleport this way and that to the audience as he gets ever closer. To more experienced fighters, it's a little more clear that he's just rushing this way and that, but it still might be a little disorienting... He closes in, and then aims an electrically-enhanced fist at Hinako's stomach.
So... she missed Yuri! Luckily Momoko is pretty fleet-footed, and can recover gracefully, tilting back into a handstand when her attempt at a stranglehold fails. ... But it seems like she won't have to focus very hard on knocking Yuri down, judging from how wobbly she is! "That was pretty cool!" she comments, righting herself and jogging off in the direction of Hinako without a care in the world.
At least until she goes BLIND. Wow, Lykaio is =really= disorienting! He's not only blinding Hinako, he's blinding his teammate too! But Momoko... well, she relies on intuition pretty heavily anyway, so she can just head towards the direction she =remembers= Hinako was at! Narrowing her eyes in determination, she tears forward at Hinako and -- just to get back at her from those two pitches earlier -- she reaches out towards the sumo fighter with pink, glowy hands! And if she catches hold, she'd pitch her up, up, and away with a good jolt of Psycho Power! "OHASHI SAMANINACCHAAAAE!"
Try saying that five times fast.

Well, that kind of sucked. Vyle got yanked back by Hinako just as he was about to get Yuri right where wanted him. And he's pretty assured a bad landing after that kind of toss.
He's not going down alone though. As he's flung up, his legs snap out, and he kicks Yuri right out of her Raiouken, sending her even higher into the air, the poor girl flying along with him. Sneering, he grabs the Kyokugen girl and pulls her over. He doesn't even go into his usual landing this time around. He just uses Yuri as a cushion for his landing. It's not MUCH of a cushion...but still, somehow, it manages to give him some time. No, he's not done yet, this guy. For better or worse. "....bitch...you just signed your death warrant..." he snaps to Hinako, eyes glassy, but filled with...well, ill intent is a good word for it.

Ho-ho! You're going to have to be a bit quicker than that, Lykaio! Hinako may not be that fast on her feet, but- And then Momoko manages to take advantage of that slowness on Hinako's part. "Eep!" Hinako goes flying up, trailing pink energy behind her. But she's not done yet! No, she isn't!
She hits the wall of the cage at a fairly high point, managing to land with her feet against it. Aerial combat is... really not Hinako's forte. But she doesn't have time to think about that. What's that slogan? Just do it! Hinako kicks off of the cage, launching herself back toward Momoko. Figuring out how she's going to land... That will have to come later. Right now all she wants to do is drive herself full on into Momoko. Like some sort of... Sumo Torpedo.
Lykaio stops a bit behind Hinako with a slight smile... which fades as he realizes the reason that was so easy was he didn't hit her once. He blinks, and narrows his eyes as he sees Hinako get hit by Momoko and rebound. So... that's the true power of Sumo! Which he actually saw previously, but it's still impressive.
He can't really step in the way of the Sumo Torpedo in time, so... time to yell helpful advice. "Little Goddess! Duck under that flying sumo! Flying sumo are weakest against groundbased enemies!"
...Is that really supposed to help?

What kind of bum advice is that? Momoko doesn't even recognize it as such, really -- primarily because her mind is mostly on the fight! She can't focus on too many things at once, after all: defying gravity with her acrobatic kicks takes the lion's share of her attention!
But it's the thought that counts, clearly! ... But she's clearly only taking the tone of his =encouragement=, rather than the message. With her eyes intently upon Hinako, she can see the sumo torpedo flying her way -- and acts accordingly! Inverting herself, she plants her elbow on the ground, wheeling both legs overhead! Only one impacts Hinako -- the swiftness of the maneuver ought to be enough to directly oppose the torpedo velocity!
... But it won't =completely= kill the momentum, that much is certain -- as Momoko can't exactly keep her balance against a force of that magnitude! She goes flying back for a good ten feet before her hip catches, rolling her into a quick tumble!
She stays down for all of a second or two before kipping back to her feet, brushing her forearm against her brow, weary from the fight... and about ready for a nap! But still smiling for the sake of the crowd! "Did I hit her? I did, right? Right?"
Well....it seems like things are finishing up. Vyle, seeing that the other two seem to have Hinako well in hand just...hangs loose, leaning back against the ring ropes as he watches Momoko catches Hinako out of her best human cannonball impression. He shrugs, getting a breather for now. Who knows, Hinako might come back from the dead and eat all their brains or something after this.

Hinako was... kind of hoping for that not to happen. She goes crashing down to the floor after Momoko knocks her off balance from her flight. But she's not /quite/ done. "Okay... Here's the last hurrah! Yaaaah!" Summoning up the last of her energy, Hinako charges in the direction of Lykaio and Momoko, hands held out to either side. If Vyle was hanging out with his 'teammates', she might try to involve him in this too... But she only has two hands, and can only run in one direction at a time.
Really, the attack is pretty simple. Trying to catch Momoko with one palm strike and Lykaio with the other, Hinako just isn't going to stop until she hits something really solid. The cage, probably. And if she actually makes it that far, the cage itself is probably going to take a fair bit of damage before Hinako collapses.
COMBATSYS: Hinako can no longer fight.

Well... it seems Momoko gets her answer when she sees Hinako gathering her all for one final strike! "Yay! Momoko did!"
But there's only so much time to pat herself on the back before Hinako's right there in her face again. Rather, before her palm's upon her sternum, striking rather fiercely! Momoko does try and get out of the way, both before and after impact, but it all happens so fast, and the girl's just sooo close to naptime, that... well, it just isn't in the cards! Momoko gets dragged along for the ride -- and *SLAMMED* into the iron bars, for about as much pain as her earlier brush with a Denjin Haoh Sho Ko Ken!
... That impact didn't leave a dent in wrought steel though! It's much clearer just =what= the little girl from Hamaoka has endured from the rather significant bending of metal caused -- the bars bent to such an extent that Momoko doesn't even *fall over* afterwards. She's unconscious, and that's the end of that!
What a rockin' birthday present!

Lykaio begins to dodge, and though the palm hits him squarely, he manages to get out of the way before being slammed into the bars. He blinks as Momoko is slammed past him, though - clearly his priorities were a little off here. And... she's not moving?
The cage door is beginning to be opened for medics of course, but that's not soon enough. He looks over to Vyle evenly after a moment. "See if she's all right." A slight gesture to Momoko, although he doesn't move to touch her.
COMBATSYS: Lykaio focuses on his next action.

Lykaio 1/-------/=======|
Vyle hrmphs, watching Hinako manage to strike home on poor Momoko, the young girl slammed into the cage wall. He seems rather...indifferent to it, though, even as she falls over, out cold, her impression left in the cage. He looks over to Lykaio as he quickly ruhses to her side. Shaking his head, he makes his way toward the cage door as the Medics come in. "Not my problem. I came here to fight and win. That's all, buddy boy." Yep, he's callous. And he doesn't make any attempt to HIDE that he's callous, either. At least he's honest with himself.

Lykaio narrows his eyes, beginning to crackle with energy... "I'd do it myself, but I can't safely touch grounded people...." He lets out his breath, then nods slightly to Vyle. "I understand." He glances over as the medics make their way in, and relaxes slightly. After a long moment, he looks back to Vyle. "But even if you try to think of it as only fighting and trying to win... that doesn't make you any less responsible, does it?"

Vyle just continues to walk off, visible through the cage walls as he walks down to the floor. He gets crap from the fans of course, for his callous nature, walking out on Momoko giving him all the heel heat in the world. And if that wasn't bad enoug, as he walks back up the entrance aisle? He raises his hand, and directs a finger toward Lykaio...no...not a finger...THE Finger!

Lykaio stares at Vyle for a long moment, then shrugs a bit, and says in a booming, oratorial voice, "Your actions are more disgusting... than a mere gesture could ever be." But still, he doesn't lift a finger. He instead looks back to the medics, confirming that the girls are all right, then looks up to the sky.
"Geese Howard... I'm not going to take this sort of thing lightly...." The same commanding tone. A few bright flashes of light, and he's gone - or at least well hidden.
COMBATSYS: Lykaio has left the fight here.

And Vyle? Well, he'll sleep easy tonight. It's easy when you don't give a crap about anyone but yourself. And hey...he won. And that's all that really matters, isn't it?
COMBATSYS: Vyle has ended the fight here.
