Description: Team Big (Raiden and Mr.Big) versus Team Gender Confusion (Makoto, Akira, and Duolon). Geese is really mean sometimes. :o (Winners: Mr.Big and Raiden)
Backyard wrestling? Well, at least one of the fighters here this afternoon can appreciate that. It may not be as wonderful as the great backyard that Raiden got to fight in. The wonderous Outback made for some good wrestling bouts when he could find the people willing to fight out that way. Still the lush area of the gardens that this fight are set in shall make things fun. Plenty of terrain to tear up and beat people senseless with. Hopefully this American creampuffs don't mind a tree or two being uprooted during the fight.
The big Aussie is already waiting in black wrestling gear trimmed with red lightning on various places, his mask already pulled on to take on the persona of the one and only Big Bear. Once one of the most feared men in sports entertainment now looking to make a splash here today. And what do we got here? Looks like two sheilas wanting to be blokes and a bloke wanting to be a sheila judging by the pictures he was shown. It is a small matter though, he will fight whatever. He has nothing against that lifestyle anyways.
He pounds his head with his hands a few times with slaps and then he bellows. "IT'S TIME! IT'S GOT TO BE TIME!" loudly before slamming a meaty fist into an open palm. Now where is his damn partner? Big better not be off slacking or trying to hit on Duo Lon. He hopes he knows it is a bloke. Either way the big man looks pumped and ready for action as he starts to shadowbox.

"Oh, it's time alright," Mr. Big says with a smirk as he walks up beside Raiden, three Japanese women in kimonos following in his wake. His fur-lined coat draped over his shoulders lazily, Mr. Big takes a long sip off of the Japanese-style cup of tea in his hands. "I love this city," Mr. Big remarks absently as he holds out his cup, prompting one of the girls next to him to take a teapot off of the tray in the other woman's hands and refill Big's cup. "I brought some fans to watch our fight. Picked 'em up at the teagarden," Mr. Big explains to his teammate as he takes another sip of tea before setting the cup back on the tray. Handing the third girl his fur lined coat and shooing the girls away with a flick of his hand, Mr. Big removes a pair of batons from his waistband as the girls bow and scurry back to a safe distance.
"Hmm... that tall girl looks familiar..." Mr. Big mutters as he appraises Duo Lon. "...she looks a lot more interesting than those little boys," Mr. Big remarks as he points at Akira and Mokoto. "I'll leave them to you, pal," the Diamond Don says with a chuckle as he advances towards Duo Lon. "Hey babe," Mr. Big says to the male Chinese ninja person. "Let's not waste any more time. I got girls waiting on me." Swiping at Duo's jaw with the baton in his right hand, Mr. Big quickly follows up the first strike with and advance-lunge at Duo Lon's pretty little nose with his left hand baton.

When told what would go down this weekend, Duo Lon had been less than pleased. He didn't show it openly, of course, but any fight with the title of 'Backyard Wrestling' made him a little... well, he just didn't like it, to be frank. Something with that kind of title usually was better suited for Shenwoo, or similar types. Not someone like himself. But, money was money, and he had signed various contracts stating he'd show up, after all. And so, here he was. However begrudingly. Another bad part of this match was the fact he was teamed with two others. Again, he normally prefered to fight alone... but could you do? Even so, he had no intention of 'becoming friendly' with his team mates, but instead simply ignored them. As long as they weren't weak, he didn't care.
So there he was, standing peacefully in the somewhat humid botanical gardens in America, with the 'two little boys', as his opponent had described them. Making no effort to correct their illusions, either on the part of his team mates or he himself, he had simply stood there, hands folded into the sleeves of his robe, waiting patiently for the signal to begin. ...Which, apparently was given in the form of his opponent racing towards him, batons at the ready. Hands freeing themselves from the sleeves, the pale appendages simply moved into the way of the oncoming strikes, 'catching' both attacks on his palms. Not as damaging as it could've been, but still... painful, in its own way. It told him all he'd needed.
Giving a response of 'hmph' to Mr. Big, and that being all, Duo moved into his own attack. Stepping forward, he brings his other foot up in a firm upwards kick that would make most Vegas showgirls gawk at how flexible he just proved himself to be, aimed right for Big's chin.
Akira isn't a wrestler, but she's happy to get to face the great BIG BEAR. Okay, so he's not her favorite wrestler, but it's still pretty cool to see a big famous pro wrestler--even if he's an old one. And 'happy' is a bit of a poor term too. That guy makes up like ten Akiras and that is something to consider. So thought, the second girliest member of the team arrives and looks towards Duo Lon, the first girliest member of the team as he blocks Big's assault!
Well, she thinks wryly, Team Gender Confusion Are Go. She looks towards Raiden and says, "Hello." to him, "May I have an autograph later?" She's a big fan of pro wrestling.
Akira decides to go on the offensive, however, and slides forward, throwing three quick kicks for Raiden's bulky chest.--She doesn't comment on Mr. Big referring to her as a boy or Duo Lon as a girl. He can think what he likes.
Probably thankfully, Makoto did not hear that she was just called, yet again, a boy. You'd think people would figure out that 'Steamroller Girl' implies at least biological femininity here.
This is because she was still getting to the proper place of the botanical gardens instead of looking around for places she might want to try to lead the fight, which is what she had been doing beforehand. She eventually makes it to the fighting ring by quite literally throwing herself out of a tree, landing almost perfectly in her characteristic Rindoukan fighting posture, left side forward. "Haa!"
Then she draws herself up, taking a deep breath and focusing her power - once, twice, three times, centering herself and preparing for combat. Everyone else ran forward. She can hold back for a moment or two.

There is a moment and the bigger fight on the duo's side tries to correct Mr. Big, but the entrance alone and the nonchalant way he is handling things just lets Raiden decide that Big will find out that Duo Lon is a bloke on his own. Serves him right. Given that those two are tangling it leaves him to ponder the two girls when the show up and he hmms to himself even as Akira comes in to deliver those kicks. It is like kicking one giant meaty wall as the hits don't even seem to stagger Big Bear. Instead he just gives a chuckle.
The masked fighter smiles and he reaches out for akira. "Not bad, little lady." he says to her and a large hand tries to grip her tightly on the shoulder and he then thrusts his other fist forward to slam into her gut before ramming his shoulder into her to knock the woman away.

His eyebrows rising in surprise as Duo Lon's slender leg shoots upward and kicks him in the chin. "W-whoah!" Mr. Big gasps as his head snaps back. Taking a step or two backwards, Mr. Big rubs his jaw nonchalantly and considers Duo Lon. "Hmm... Not bad girl, but you're going to have to do better than that to take Mr. Big down!" Chuckling darkly, Mr. Big swipes at the air with his batons a few times and hops on the balls of his feet. "COME ON GIRL! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!" he shouts with a wild grin on his face, urging Duo Lon on with his batons as he pumps himself up.

Keeping his leg extended into the air near-perfectly vertically as Big backs off, Duo only lowers the leg when he's certain there's not going to be an immediate counter-attack. In fact, Big seems intent on making a big show of this. Technically, that's what's -supposed- to happen at these SNFs, he supposes, but even so... he's fairly certain that Big is irritating him. And yet, he's certain that the man's skill isn't something to be taken lightly... or is he just overestimating? In any case, he sets his foot back onto the ground, keeping his eyes entirely focused on his opponent. He makes not even the slightest twitch of his eyes towards Akira and Makoto. Again, no quips or attempts to correct Big are made, Duo Lon simply adopts a fighting stance in response to his taunts. And then? He attacks.
Surging forward, the Hizoku's form blurring a little as he moves rather quickly over the grassy terrain. Coming at Big in a slight crouch, he attempts to drive a knife-hand punch into the man's sternum, then quickly rises from the crouch in a kind of jump, following the knife-hand with a knee to the chin. It finishes off with Duo landing back on the ground, and making one final attack: hands pressing together, palms outwards, much like a classic 'hadouken' style. Both hands are thrust out to Big, but never make contact. Instead, a kind of odd energy eddies around the assassin's hands, and then explodes outwards at the other man, the force wave like a heavy punch to the gut, should it hit.
Oh, Akira thinks, it's like kicking a wall. "Thank you?" At least he seems to realize she's female--which is a nice bonus. She tries to avoid the grab but she fails! She's nabbed across the shoulder, punched in the gut. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. She doesn't remember THIS part in pro wrestling. Ow. And then she's slammed in the face with his shoulder and flies several yards across the ground before lying still. "That's pretty good..." Akira mumbles as she tries to breathe which is a lot harder after that! Curling up into a soft crouch, Akira picks up a small rock and flings it for the big man--deciding to stay far away from him for now.
Makoto circles around the fight once she's gathered her will. What, you thought she was going to stand idle forever? Not likely!
She takes a moment to consider her options. There is Mr. Big, who Duolon is adequately keeping busy, and there is Raiden, who Akira has been left all on her own to fight and just got thrown quite a ways. The decision...is obvious!
"Haah!" Makoto charges Raiden from the side, leaping into the air as she picks up velocity on her hasty, rather ill-considered course and performing a complete flip. When she comes out of the forward flip, though, her left heel strikes downward, at the back of Raiden's head; she tries to literally kick off him and land nicely on the ground behind him, and possibly even push him into the mighty projectile of A Rock. She's fought Cody; rocks are scary.

Well if anything it looks like the big man is in for loads of fun. Odd how the none pimplike one is the one having to deal with the women while Big is the one fighting the guy and still calling the bloke a woman. Just means more fun for him if he gets to deal with two. That rock plinks right off his head and his brow furrows slightly as he shakes his head at Akira. "That supposed to hurt?" he asks and soon there is a Makoto making her presence by slamming into the big man and staggering forward a few steps. "Oh there is the other sheila." he grumps and he reaches back to snag at Makoto to bring her around to his front before charging towards Akira. With Makoto in hand or not he continues his rush forward, bellowing loudly as he rushes at Akira.
The possibly snagged Makoto will remain in one arm while he goes for Akira to pick up in the other, rushing forward as he does so squeezing tightly as he chugs on forward like some slow ass train that is intent on making pure mush from the two ladies when he intends to slam them between himself and a rather large tree. WHAM.

Mr. Big's lips curl back slightly as Duo Lon rushes in, bearing his canines as his grin transforms from that of happy excitement to one of a wolf closing in for the kill. Crouching slightly as the knife-hand punch thuds painlessly on his sternum, Mr. Big swings the baton in his left hand forward as he uses his powerful legs to leap into the air. His left baton cracks Duo Lon solidly on the side of his face, and is immediately followed up by a reverse-grip baton uppercut to the ninja's jaw with his right baton that carries the pretty man into the air with Mr. Big. His expensive leather shoes touching the grass-covered ground softly as Mr. Big lands, the Platinum Player chuckles darkly as he's applauded by the three kimono-clad women behind him. "Welcome to California, bitch."
Well, that was fun. The baton upside his head, then the other slapping him roughly on the jaw is a good indication to the Duo that he wasn't overestimating Big's skill. Or his ability to inflict pain. The cracks of the pain are indeed painful, and flying backwards a small distance, the assassin has some time to ponder on this, before his feet kip over his body, rightly-aligning himself for landing on the grass in a crouch, sliding a slight distance with the remaining momentum of Big's strikes. Rising slowly afterwards, he wipes at his mouth with one pale hand, collecting the blood that had coated his lips from the smashing motion of the batons. Duo, however, still doesn't respond to Big just yet. Looking solely at the man, and unconcerned with the thunder from down under over yonder, the Hizoku doesn't even adopt his fighting stance again. He seems... relaxed, even. "Your words are bigger than your skill. If you intend to actually fight me, do not assume I will so easily be defeated," he finally says, in a distinctly masculine, if quiet voice.

This is even worse than before! Akira tries to bring her fists forward to dissipitate the force of the blow--but it's not enough! Akira is caught up like a, well, not like a fly because you don't carry flies but sort of like one of those chairs you snap to bits by bodyslamming them. This time, she's slammed through a tree. Letting out a quick gasp of pain, she pulls up her feet while still held by Raiden and lets out a fierce cry before she twists backwards and throws herself upwards, trying to kick into Raiden's chin with a sudden burst of speed--aiming to break his hold! Her nice tanktop has all sorts of rips into it, and she's bleeding mostly around her upper body.

Makoto, in best Makoto fashion, plants her feet, digs them in to the ground a little, and braces against whatever comes.
Given that Raiden just picked her up without that much effort, this may not have been the best plan. Makoto yells as she realizes that she is (surprisingly slowly) moving towards a tree; the plow into it at the end hurts about as much as you'd expect, and she goes rolling.
IT takes Makoto a few moments to get back to her feet, breathing hard. Obviously she needs a new plan here. She takes a moment to catch her breath, watching Raiden more than Mr. Big for the immediate moment.

Oh damn that felt so good. He bounces back fight after squishing the pair and staggers back away with a chuckle. A chuckle that grows louder when he notices both of the girls are still standing after it all. "You both are pretty stout. Since you survived I'll pay for your dinner or something when we are done." he says in a rather jolly manner. He hopes Big is having as much fun with his new 'girlfriend'. Stepping back he finds Akira coming in at him again this time to nail him with another kick that sends him staggering back again and shaking his head. She really is a spry one even if she is a bit beaten down and out. Since she is close in he decides it is best to just grasp at her and heft the girl upwards and then throw her right back down on top of her head. "Just stay down, shelia. Ya did well."
"What the..." Mr. Big mutters in confusion at the sound of Duo Lon's fairly manly voice. "...you're a..." Mr. Big's nose wrinkles back in disgust as he begins to realize what Duo Lon's all about. "...freak," he mutters as he turns his back on the ninja. "I'll finish you in a minute. You ain't so interesting to me now." Turning his back on Duo Lon, Mr. Big catches sight of the gi-clad Japanese girl. "You. Time to meet Mr. Big, boy," he warns darkly as he sprints towards the 'Steamroller Girl', leaving his feet as he dives through the air. Crossing his batons in front of him as he soars, Mr. Big attempts to slam into the girl's chest with the brunt of his large frame.
Unexpected. Or maybe expected? He wasn't quite sure. But in either case, Duo seems less disturbed he was called a freak, and more that he's now being ignored for someone who Big already thinks is a boy. Weren't they fighting just now? No? Expression cold, as usual for him, the Hizoku turns his head to follow Big as he moves to attack Makoto. While technically allowed, given it was a two versus three, his opinion of Big isn't getting any better. Saying nothing, he simply turns his body to face towards Makoto, and brings his hand up across his chest, holding his hand near his face. The hand begins to 'bubble' up with purple energy, the sickly-looking colored chi growing a little in size while Duo judges where to aim, so as not to hit his team mate. Perhaps he didn't care for partners, but that didn't mean he would interfere with their battle. Casting his hand out, and with no fanfare from he himself, the bubbling chi leaves his hand, and streaks towards the fleeing Big. In flight, the chi ball becomes a little distorted. Black mouths and eyes appear on its surface, twisting and writhing about, and it even gives off a loud, screeching wail as it flies to Big's back.

Akira lands on her feet, still looking rather winded--probably more from getting utterly blasted with Raiden's powerful moves than from tiring herself out with her own techniques. "Alright," Akira offers politely, not feeling any ill will towards Raiden--he really HURTS but that's more her fault than Raiden's. Well, okay, it's also the fault of Raiden's muscles but she signed herself up for this fight, so it's not like she had to.
"But..." She offers quietly, leaping straight up into the air, just barely missing Raiden's powerful arms with her legs (that would have been bad!) and brings her hands up to her side. "It's not quite over yet, sir." At least he's nice and jolly about it, Akira reflects, as she brings her hands forward--sending a burst of chi power towards Raiden's body. For some mysterious reason, it takes the form of a skull as it bears down on him.

Makoto was expecting Raiden to come after her; she wasn't expecting Mr. Big quite as much, although she probably should have. He's in the fight too! Fortunately, she wasn't distracted by such things as 'charging Raiden' or even 'trying to recover after being hit'; she was just taking a breather, and now feels like she's ready for anything despite the soreness of her body.
She spreads her hands wide and almost catches Mr. Big, shoving backwards; the impact staggered her, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been, she thinks. "I'm not a boy!" she objects, and her voice really doesn't sound like one. She just might be telling the truth!
Makoto takes advantage of the close quarters to deliver a mighty horizontal karate chop at about neck height, swinging her whole body along with the blow. If it works right, she might even push him into Duolon's projectile...although she'll settle for hitting at all

It looks like the prolonging of this fight is just making Raiden start to slow down. His hands reach out to grip nothing and he stumbles forward a step and slaps his face a few times to psyche himself up. "Oh no you don't. Not getting away from me." he says and he trundles on forward again, huffing and a puffing even as Akira's big attack of death plows into him and slows his pace. Yet he still continues forward to come right for Akira like another giant pain train intent on slamming hard into her and then flipping her right over his shoulder and back onto the ground.

Rolling on his shoulder past the girl after deflecting to the side off of Makoto's block, Mr. Big turns back around just in time to see the rapidly approaching ball of freaknasty chi. "Ugh!" he grunts in disgust at the purple ball of ghostly teeth and eyes closes in on him. Watching Makoto advance, Mr. Big is forced to make a crazy, split second decision.
Thrusting both batons at the ball of chi, the Chrome-dome Don -catches- the projectile between the weapons, gritting his teeth as the energy threatens to explode out of his grasp. "DOUBLE GROUND BLASTER!" Mr. Big shouts as he angles himself towards Makoto, swinging both batons skyward and calling forth his own orange gout of fiery chi from the ground, shredding both Duo Lon's chi ball and Makoto's stout form even as her chop connects with Mr. Big's neck.
Though Duo had been largely disinterested in what Makoto did with Big, other than the fact Big wasn't fighting -him- any more, in hindsight, that was likely a bad idea. Looking impressed - however much the young man with the cold, stoic expression can look impressed, anyway - the Hizoku stands and watches as Makoto takes the full brunt of Big's skillful manipulation of chi and energy. Waiting until it has dissipated, the assassin then springs forward again, his form this time blurring almost imperceptably, until he's at the other man's side, and a little to behind. Not making any effort to feint or conceal his action, he goes straight for another knife-hand attack. This time, right at where Big's kidney should be. He even follows it up with a slight turn of his body, allowing his other side to shoulder check Big in the same area, hopefully knocking him off balance, if not over completely.

Akira backpedals quickly from Raiden, it hurts her ribs but it's either that or be obliterated. She only has one chance to really overcome Raiden too. She gulps. Can she even get away from Raiden? Apparently she can! She is faster on her feet. Normally she uses this to stay within close range--but this time she's using her speed to stay away. She comes to a stop, pulling into a crouch again--before she blasts forward again with that same ferocious jump kick again! This is going to hurt, Akira thinks, this is going to hurt, this is going to hurt, oh this is -so- going to hurt. But it's the only real option she's got!
Makoto vanishes in the pillar of chi, completely hidden from view.
Before the blast of chi fades, Makoto punches down-forward with one fist, aimed at Big's stomach at about the level of the lower buttons. The blast fades as Makoto steps out of it, following it up with a trio of mid-level punches, then one aimed quite solidly at the bottom of Mr. Big's chin. She looks scorched and blasted, but after THAT chi attack, were you expecting anything else?
She holds the upwards pose for a few seconds, scarf fluttering in the breeze...before simply tilting backwards, fist still upraised right until she lands on the ground in a gi-clad heap.

Now the girl is getting downright frustrating and playing hard to catch. At least Big looks to have made himself serve as entertainment for the other two fighters leaving Raiden to just keep his focus on Akira. Crouching low after his miscalculated grab he waits for Akira to come towards him. There he waits and lets the girl come to him and that she does. With a surprising amount of agility the big man jumps upwards as well and he lets himself get impacted by the first of Akira's kicks, but then he throws both of his large feet outwards to slam into the young woman and knock her away quite forcefully before he lands on his feet with a heavy huffing and puffing coming from him. "These kids are actually pretty good for once. Geese must have been feeling generous this week." he says offhandedly while standing up and trying to catch his breath.

Sensing Makoto's incoming assault, Mr. Big falls back into a defensive stance, his right baton hovering near his midsection, where both it and his forearm soak up the brunt of Makoto's body shots, and his left-hand baton deflecting away the shot at his chin. That wouldn't have felt very good after Duo Lon's earlier kick.
Speaking of Duo Lon, Mr. Big doesn't have too much time to reflect on dropping Makoto as she falls to the ground, as he catches sight of the blurring Hizoku out of the corner of his eye. Pitching himself foreword, Big rolls over Makoto's limp form and carries himself out of range of Duo Lon's knife-edge strike and shoulder block. "Hmft," Southtown's favorite son grunts as he considers Duo Lon. "Oh. I'd forgotten about you," Mr. Big says with a taunting sneer. "Looks like you're the last piece of trash that needs to be cleaned up!" Stepping over Makoto's body, Mr. Big lashes out at Duo Lon's jaw with his right baton, following it up again with another lunge at Duo's nose with the baton in his left hand.

Well, one down. And both fighters on the other team still up. Considering the other of his team mates was, he thought, also likely to fall, and if not now then soon, Duo was certainly at a disadvantage. He'd have to get serious, tone it up, engage Go Time, whatever those other fighters called it. Which doesn't go very well at first, due to Big catching him out of the corner of his eye, and moving away to avoid his strikes. Paying Big back in kind, the rods the man wields are simply ducked under, striking only air where the Hizoku assassin had been moments before. Reaching up with one hand, he tries to grasp Big's left wrist as it retracts, and rather than simply let Big get away from him again, attempts to roughly pull forward, enough, hopefully to stagger the man, and then push back again, hopefully, again, enough to knock him down.
Akira gasps out a "Wha--" as she's nabbed, clearly surprised that Big Bear can move so fast. She makes a vague noise which almost sounds like 'thank you' but she's too hurt to do what we call 'articulating'. The feet sail downward towards Akira's side but before they impact in her, Akira tries to twist a bit to the side to mitigate some of the pain train that's running over her and return it--pushing with both her arms out to throw Raiden's body off balance and force him into a poor landing on his back.
Regardless of whether this is successful though, the feet still slam into her and smack her far away and when she hits the ground, she lies still. Apparently, she has chosen to stay down.

Another one bites the dust finally. That sheila was a rather wiley one that has taken the the Big Bear to his limit. Even so she still seems to still have some energy in her to try to take him down with her. The big man inhales deeply and does something he doesn't often do, he actually jumps back away from the fighter and Akira grabs nothing but air and a loud sigh of relief is let out once Raiden lands on his feet. "Too close." he mumbles and he leans forward some to rests his hands on his knees. "All right Biggy, time to earn our paycheck. Let's not let this bloke embarass us." he calls out and just kinda stays there for now. He needs to catch his breath dammit.

His jaw dropping as Raiden actually manages to jump out of the way of an attack, Mr. Big is somewhat caught off guard by Duo's grab at his arm. "Wha?" Mr. Big gasps as he's grabbed and jerked harshly toward the ninja. Ah well, he might as well make the best of being grabbed.
Using the momentum of Duo's attack, Mr. Big thrusts himself toward the man and attempts to grab him by his kimono thing. If he's successful, Mr. Big will toss him into the air and juggle him a few times with four of five brutal baton strikes before letting the pretty man collapse solidly onto the ground. "I can beat you with one finger! Now get out of my way, trash!" Mr. Big will say with disdain if everything goes according to plan.

Unfortunately, the large mountain of meat actually dodging something does -not- distract Duolon. He's quite focused on the fight at hand, which is probably why he misses his chance completely to at least attempt to do away with Big Bear in his weakened state. Even so, he's still grabbed, not precisely expecting Big to simply keep coming at him - that's something Shenwoo would do. So, he's grabbed, and tossed into the air, but is quick to not let himself get completely beaten. Curling his legs upwards and crossing his arms, the rain of baton blows just strikes against his forearms and shins. Still painful, but a lot less worse than it could've been. When he's smacked back down to the ground, he catches himself on his feet once again, sliding backwards a small distance with the momentum. But, no slacker this one. Springing up immediately, he races towards Big, covering the distance quickly, and as he nears, changes up his movement in order to snap a kick up at Big's head - only to draw it back before his leg fully extends, intending on feinting. His real attack comes when his hand shoots forward to palm the top of Big's bald head, and pull forward while rolling backwards, his other foot planting into the man's stomach, and then throwing him away, should all go well.

Not having a rather agile girl flying at him every few seconds does wonders for Big Bear catching his breath. He straightens up finally and shakes his head as he starts to get his focus back on things. He stays back a moment watching Mr. Big deal with the ninja rather well. Raiden has to admit this match has turned out quite well against the duo from Southtown. Now that he has his breath back he is ready to charge back into battle. That is exactly what he does too as he charges forward from what he thinks might be Duo's backside and brings a fist around to slam into the side of the ninja's head if it hits home. "Allo mate. Figure Big Bear should give ya a greeting lovetap since we haven't gotten to tussle yet this afternoon."
Completely falling for the feint, Mr. Big attempts to give Duo another deadly welcome to California, but is instead grabbed and thrown across this section of the garden with a foot to his gut. "Gah... dammit..." Mr. Big mutters as he pushes himself up to one knee and attempts to shake the cobwebs loose. "I'm through playing with this girly freak..."

One might look oddly at someone who can't see a man as big as Raiden thundering at him. But that's exactly what happens to Duolon in this case. So busy he is in throwing Big, he misses the wrestler entirely. Kipping up to his feet from his prone position, his back is more or less open to Raiden for an attack, and said attack comes - right upside the assassin's head, causing him to stagger. Giving a loud 'oof!' as he staggers forward, he rights himself shortly thereafter, and wheels about to face now, no longer one, but two opponents. Even though the odds look a little poor for him, to his credit, he still surveys both Raiden and Big with calm detachment, as if even now he were planning to win, despite the odds. "...Ni hao," he replies in kind, and even tips his head, slightly, back to the wrestler. Sliding back into his usual fighting pose, however, he seems ready to take on both. By first leading with his foot. Simply, he raises it, and then steps back down lightly. But don't blink - it takes fractions of a second for -something- to suddenly blur out of the ground in front of Raiden, something that looks like a skeletal foot. This same foot, a light kick to the shin more or less, then retreats. "A 'lovetap' of my own. Feel free to come at me at the same time."

Well at least the guy has some manners even if he is a....well the boy looks like a fruit salad with extra fruit. Okay, so Raiden sucks with analogies. Either way he prepares for a lovetap in return and gets....a skeleton foot to his shin? Big Bear straightens up for a moment and he looks down at the ground then back at Duo Lon. "Did you just do what I think you did?" he asks him while reaching up to scratch his head. "Nevermind...I don't want to know." he finally says and instead decides it is best to give more of a lovetap as he trundles forward building up steam to give Duo Lon a proper greeting in the form of a fat man running into him and giving a pummeling with his meaty fists before finishing it up with a big headbutt right to the noggin of the ninja.
Quietly creeping up behind Duo Lon as he and Raiden have a little chat, Mr. Big, hopefully forgotten for the moment, takes the opportunity to work his way into attacking distance as Raiden distracts him. Lashing out with a sidekick aimed at the Hizoku's back, Mr. Big attempts to strike the nubile chinaman seconds before the lumbering wrestler closes in on him.

If Duo heard what Raiden thought of him... he might actually, you know, smile a bit. At least it was an interesting description, if not an original one. He'd been called the same before, but the analogy was what made it humorous. As it is, however, Raiden still gets a very slight ghost of a smile that might not even be there at all. Duo Lon looks somewhat amused at the wrestler's reaction to having been kicked in the shin by a skeletal foot, but it's not enough to distract him from the fight at hand. Big Bear launches forward, and again he's surprised by a fact: large people may not be agile, but they can certainly pick up some speed when they want to. Or, at least, forward momentum. In any case, Duo is able to avoid the unrush of meat, but not able to avoid the sudden sneak attack by Big from behind. Taking the hit, he stumbles forward a little, but catches himself, grimacing a little in pain.
There's no real warning for what Duo does next, however. In a split second, deciding he needs to act -now- while they're both still nearby, Duo swipes a hand out to the side. The area around him seems to grow darker, and then that same sickly colored purple chi bubbles around him. But this time, not his hand, but rather his whole body. The energy then bursts, and forms off into several smaller bodies of energy, that begin to swirl about Duo's body. Forming mouths and eyes like his earlier chi attack had, the 'ghosts' wail and screech as they repeatedly try to slam into Big and Raiden, again and again, before eventually dissipating.

Another slippery devil it would seem. It doesn't occur to him that the ninja might have just been nice and let him get that first punch in to lead him into a false sense of security. Forward he goes to try and make that assault only to have Duo Lon escape from him and get hit by Big Bear's partner. "Good one, mate!" he barks towards Mr. Big and then there is a problem Duo Lon deciding to get very deadly serious. To the point that the big man is left with little option other than to grin and take the hit. Taking a deep beath he gets torn up by the strange deathly purple chi that assaults him. With a last loud roar the big man comes forward and slumps towards the ninja, large arms reaching out to grasp around Duo Lon and squeeze around his waist tightly and maybe hold him in place for Big to finish the man off.

Crossing his arms in front of his face, Mr. Big clamps his eyes shut as the maelstrom of freaky chi envelops him. The wailing souls tear and shred at his coat, causing it to snap and flap in the wind created by the attack. Cautiously opening his eyes as the chi dissipates around him, the Pimpcane Padrino coughs slightly as his shoulders and arms smolder and smoke. "Impressive," Mr. Big mutters, leaving the part about it not being impressive enough unsaid.
"Good thinking mate," Mr. Big says with a grin as Raiden grabs on to Duo Lon. Take pity on anyone who makes the mistake of thinking that the big Aussie is dumb. Snapping both of his batons into one longer staff with a smooth practiced motion, Mr. Big quickly thrusts his new ranged weapon at Duo Lon's pretty little nose. Hopefully it breaks under the force of the blow; it might give a little masculinity to his features.

It has, in fact, been Duolon's experience that big guys are not at all stupid. Shenwoo being a prime example. Undisciplined and largely uncoordinated, sure, but stupid? He would never make that claim of Shenwoo. It would be dangerous to. Even so, he's quite surprised when the big man slumps forward, but with his last action, grabs him about the waist. "Hu-?" He somewhat articulates, before Big is taking advantage of the situation. Rods connect to form a staff, and in that end goes towards his face. Broken? Maybe, maybe not, but there's certainly lots of blood. Head snapping to the side, he's not looking too good, it would seem. Last legs, even. All except for his hand, which he extended previously in order to signify the use of his chi. This hand now points at Big. And even more surprisingly, that sickly-purple energy hasn't seem to entirely vanish, yet. Duo's got another trick up his sleeve.
"Hiden Genmu..." he breathes out, and the energy collects in his palm. It forms up to a ball, becoming bigger and bigger, until it's roughly the size of a very big beach ball. If a beach ball had swirling, grotesque faces on it, writhing around and chittering. "Juu. Onshii. Kon!" And then the ball flies forward, the faces all merging into just one, a big ol' ghastly looking face that flies right at Big's own face, mouth gaping wide and seeking to maybe break off a piece. As for Duo? He'll... kinda slump against Raiden. No more for the Hizoku, thx.

"Ah crap," Mr. Big mutters as the large ball of chi flies at him. "That shit is really, really creepy!" he exclaims as he ducks down low under the projectile, the horrible face flying harmlessly over his head. "Ain't no way in hell I was gunna get hit with that stuff again." Sighing in exhaustion as Duo Lon collapses next to Raiden, Mr. Big rolls his shoulders with a grimace and walks over to his partner. "Let me help you up, man," Mr. Big offers as he extends his arm down to Raiden, ready to grunt and strain to help the big man to his feet.
Looking down at his fallen opponents, Mr. Big sneers and spits on the ground. "Thought yourselves heroes, huh? It's so funny I'm crying!" he announces to the unconscious forms littering the ground of the gardens. "Ladies, come help your winners over to the limo. We got some celebrating to do!" He calls to the three petite Japanese girls in kimonos, who come rushing over.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big has ended the fight here.
Such strong arms he has. Enough to support the ninja up till Big does enough to bring the big man to his senses and he lets go. "N...got em, huh?" he mumbles still looking to be a bit on the loopy side as he gets helped up and rubs his head. If anything there is no taunting to the out cold opponents from the big man. He is probably too out of it to do much of anything and besides, he had fun tussling with those kids. They actually had some fight in them unlike some of the people he has punished. Staggering he goes off with his fight partner and the ladies. Feel sorry for the one supporting him.
