Description: Dateline: Egypt! Can you smell what the Pharoah's cookin'?! (Winner: Mr.Big)
It's a beautiful day in Egypt. Not too hot like most desert areas are, but rather mild, making it a perfect day for outdoor activities. People are bustling about, shopping, eating in outdoor tables at restaurants, or just enjoying the beautiful weather. For some, though, it's all about the World Warrior tournament fight that's being held here today. A fighting ring is in the center of town, with plenty of seating available, as well as refreshments and concessions being sold.
Today's match up is between Maki Genryusai and Mr. Big, the former of whom is off to the side of the ring doing her stretches and limbering up before the fight, while chatting with her fans and signing autographs. She even pauses for a photo with a young fan. (Hey, she's not too well known right now so the attention is great.) She then gets into the ring and awaits her opponent.
As the fans hustle and bustle about, waiting in anticipation of this first round match of the World Warrior Tournament, the sound of a horn fanfare causes the crowd to fall quiet suddenly. Parting through the crowd as the horns blare, a pair of women dressed as belly dancers make their way towards the ring, bells and pieces of metal jingling on their bodies as the undulate and sway. The belly dancers are followed by trumpeters and drummers playing an ancient style song that sounds straight out of the movie The Ten Commandments. Following the musicians, a pair of young women dressed in ancient Egyptian inspired bikini tops and skirts twirl and toss flower petals on the path to the ring. What is going on? Is some rich prince attending the fight? A king perhaps?
"Pharaoh Big has arrived!" Mr. Big shouts exuberantly as he strides on the flower petals strewn on the ground. Dressed in what passes for the traditional garb of Ancient Egyptian kings and looking more than a little like Yul Brenner in sunglasses, the bare-chested Mr. Big adjusts the headdress covering his baldness and crosses two specter-like batons over his chest in salute to Maki as he enters the ring. "You are very brave to face the Pharaoh this day!" he says with a grin. "His victory has been foretold in the stars!" he announces to cheers from the native fans, impressed with his entrance.
Pharaoh Big? Well, if he were a pharaoh, he'd certainly be a big one! And what's with the big opening ceremony? Has this guy been watching too many movies or cartoons or something? Well, that's not the point right now. The point is that Maki's opponent has finally arrived, and the battle will soon be getting underway.
"I still remember our previous fight, so now I'm going to pay you back!" Maki says to Mr. Big as she cracks her knuckles and rolls her neck around a little. At that, a man in his twenties or thirties, wearing a referee's striped shirt and matching shoes and slacks, walks into the center of the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the World Warrior tournament fight between Maki Genryusai and Mr. Big shall commence shortly." At that, the referee steps back and gestures to both fighters to wait untill the bell has rung to go at each other. Nonetheless, Maki is ready to fight!

Swinging his two fancy jewel-encrusted gold scepters through the air, Pharaoh Big strikes a few poses for the photographers gathered around ringside, winking and smiling broadly as the bulbs flash. Mr. Big feeds on attention like this. Now that the elimination round is over with, the Would Warrior Tournament is starting in earnest, and Big felt like he needed to set a tone with his entrance, and that he has certainly done. Turning towards Maki as the ref makes the announcement, Mr. Big smiles, flashing his pearly whites to the girl. "Well, here's your chance blondie. The whole world is watching!" he announces as he motions towards his chest with his scepters. "Come get your retribution!"
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big focuses on his next action.

Maki finishes preparing herself mentally, and when the bell rings, she's all about business, not holding anything back. The Big Pharaoh had better drop the arrogant attitude right now, or else he's gonna find himself lying face down on the canvas if he's not careful.
"All right, let's get this on," Maki yells as she rushes towards Mr. Big and then leaps into the air and attempts to deliver a strong jump kick at the giant.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big interrupts Strong Kick from Maki with Fierce Strike.

Mr.Big 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Maki
Pharaoh Big doesn't flinch as Maki jumps at him, choosing instead to stand his ground and welcome the attack head on. Grunting as the kick connects with his chest solidly, the ersatz Pharaoh doesn't budge. Instead, even as the girl hangs in the air after her kick connects, one of his golden scepters flies at Maki, striking her on the hip with blurring speed and knocking her away. "It's no use, mortal, for I am an incarnation of the God Horus!" Mr. Big says with a jovial laugh. Okay, he's starting to take this whole Pharaoh thing a little too far.
Maki never expected Mr. Big to do something like that, and she finds herself flying through the air and bouncing off one of the ropes separating the combants from the spectators outside of the ring. But she barely staggers as she gets back on her feet and glares at Mr. Big.
"You got me that time, but you better watch yourself," She says as she runs back to Mr. Big, and then quickly drops to one hand and spins around delivering her trademark spin kick, which she shouts by name as 'Bushin Senpuu Kyaku!'
COMBATSYS: Maki successfully hits Mr.Big with Bushin Senpuu Kyaku.

"Ha! Your attempts are laughable!" Pharaoh Big says with a grin as Maki rushes him. He moves as if to sidestep out of the way of the attack, but his sunglass covered eyes linger on the girl's legs for a second too long as she spins in her rather revealing costume. "Damn," Mr. Big mutters quietly as he's clipped by a foot. C'mon Big, keep your focus.
Wasting no time to lick his wounds, Mr. Big quickly steps around the ninja girl and attempts to thrust both of his golden scepters into her side at once with enough force to crack or at least bruise a rib if he's able to get a solid hit in.
COMBATSYS: Maki blocks Mr.Big's Medium Strike.

Mr.Big 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\0 Maki
Crack or bruise a rib, he thinks? Well, not if Maki blocks it. She raises her arms quickly to protect herself against the strike, and as a result, her arms are the ones that take most of the blow. Fortunately, she's able to absorb the damage better there instead of against her chest (and no perverted remarks!)
Once Maki's absorbed the blow completely, she quickly goes at Mr. Big and attempts to administer a quick throw. Not powerful, but it should be enough to send the message that Maki's not playing around.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big interrupts Quick Throw from Maki with Double Ground Blaster.

His Egyptian man-skirt swooshing around his well muscled legs, Pharaoh Big quickly turns towards Maki as she attempts to throw him to the ground. "DOUBLE GROUND BLASTER!" Pharaoh Big intones as he sweeps both golden scepters towards Amon-Ra himself and is blessed by two bursts of golden fire erupting from the ground just as Maki makes contact with him. Rolling backwards from the force of Maki's throw as she is washed in his plume of chi, Pharaoh Big quickly rises to his sandal-clad feet. "A lone woman against a god. There is no shame in it," Pharaoh Big says with a slight frown, still totally in character.
All right, this is really starting to get annoying for Maki, and as she's sent flying through the air and to the canvas, she finds that the canvas is stained with a little blood as she gets up, realizing that her nose is bleeding quite a bit from that attack. Now it's time to put the standard fighting techniques aside.
Maki draws her tonfa and then rushes at Mr. Big, attempting to administer a rapid flurry of tonfa strikes and kicks as she administers her 'Bushin Gou Rai Ha!'
COMBATSYS: Maki successfully hits Mr.Big with Bushin Gou Rai Ha.

Turning to pose for a photographer as Maki picks herself up off of the ground, Pharaoh Big looks back just in time to see her rushing him with tonfa drawn and the devil in her eyes. His sandals sliding slightly on the sandy ring, Big stumbles just as Maki clashes with him, beating on him with numerous tonfa strikes and kicks. Falling to one knee, Pharaoh Big seems woozy for a split second before his mouth opens and emits a haunting laugh. "Ha ha ha! So the mortal has some fight in her yet, does she?" he asks as he stands, his arms and bare chest glistening slightly with sweat as his large muscles flex. "Well then, mortal! Let's see how much more you have to give, for my power is infinite!" Pharaoh Big exclaims as he raises his arms to the sky, the air around his body seeming to quaver like a heat mirage as focuses his supposed godly might.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big gathers his will.

Mr.Big 1/----===/=======|=------\-------\0 Maki
Maki's attack did its trick, and it seems like Mr. Big is now aware of the threat that is Maki Genryusai (well not really, but you get the general idea!) She leaps away in an effort to avoid a possible counter attack, but then she sees that Mr. Big is attempting to prepare himself for the next move. That's when Maki decides to take this time to catch her breath a little.
COMBATSYS: Maki drops her guard to recover.

Mr.Big 1/----===/=======|=------\-------\0 Maki
Striding towards the resting Genryusai, Pharaoh Big's eyebrows knit in consternation below his Egyptian headdress. "So be it. Prepare for the wraith of the gods," he says grimly as he holds his golden scepters aloft. "So let it be written..." Pharaoh Big's golden scepters begin to crackle with energy, spiderwebs of lightning dancing on and in-between them. The energy surges and the webs of lightning quickly grow into a thick arc dancing between both scepters as he thrusts the weapons towards Maki's head. If the arc of electricity manages to tough the ninja, the electric chi will violently explode with a thunderclap, knocking the young fighter away from the blast.
"...so let it be done."
COMBATSYS: Maki blocks Mr.Big's Blaster Wave.

This is really getting tougher than before, and unfortunately, it's not going to get any easier for the young fighter. When the chi blast comes at her, Maki tries to block it, but her injured state makes it harder than before to be able to protect herself against it. It's obvious that the tides are against her in this fight, but Maki won't give up that easily.
Maki quickly leaps to the nearest ropes and bounces off of them, and attempts to grab Mr. Big by the shoulders and literally do a somersaulting throw of him to the ground, while yelling, "Tengu Daoshi!"
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big fails to interrupt Tengu Daoshi from Maki with California Romance.

"Damn..." Mr. Big mutters as Maki actually survives the blast. Narrowing his eyes as she flies at him, Mr. Big crouches as if to leap at her and stop her cold with an attack of his own, but he misjudges her flight speed as he is grabbed and thrown to the ground. "Goddamn it. Enough of this bullshit," Mr. Big curses as he pulls off the silly headdress and tosses it to the ground. "You're pissing me off now," he growls.
Maki's throw works well, much to her surprise, and she smirks as poor Mr. Big gets back to his feet, no longer wearing his headdress. "Aw, has the pharaoh been dethroned? Well, let me tell you something, nothing lasts forever. Not even the rule of a great leader." And with that, she attempts to hit Mr. Big with a strong foot sweep.

"Maybe," Mr. Big replies with a sneer as he leaps up over her sweep. "But you still have to worry about Mr. Big, and girl, you just don't have it in you." Swinging down with the scepters as he comes down from his jump, Mr. Big attempts to bludgeon the girl on the head with both of his batons before she can rise up out of her sweep. "I don't need no fancy clothes to beat you down, that's just a little something extra for the fans."

Well, that was a good attempt on Mr. Big's part, but two can play the game of Dodge'Em, and just as Maki finishes her sweep, she's rolled out of the way of Mr. Big. She doesn't stop there, though. Nope, she's not stopping there. Instead she's running towards the ropes and jumping onto them, and then rebounding in the giant's direction, while attempting to land a powerful kick known as the, 'Hassou Kyaku!'
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big dodges Maki's Hassou Kyaku.

Alright, Mr. Big isn't going to try anything fancy this time. The fight's been going on for far too long. What is it with these hero-types and them refusing to lie down and die? Darting to the side as Maki flies at him, Mr. Big pivots on his left foot and attempts to kick the girl in the back with his right as she flies past. This will be over soon. Mr. Big will not be denied.
COMBATSYS: Maki dodges Mr.Big's Light Kick.

Mr.Big 0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0 Maki
That's intended to be an attack? Maki is too good to let something like that hit her, and she pretty much spins out of the way of the attack, meaning that the kick will hit nothing but air. Good thing that air molecules aren't living things. Bad thing that while Big is doing his kick, Maki is using her signature Bushin Senpuu Kyaku again.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big Toughs Out Maki's Bushin Senpuu Kyaku!!

Mr.Big 0/-------/------=|=====--\-------\0 Maki
Alright all of this dodging is getting annoying. It's time to man up. Running at Maki as she starts to kick, Mr. Big doesn't even pay attention to her attack, instead, he leaps up at her and attempts to knee her in the chest as her leg deflects off of him harmlessly. "I'm going to hit you sooner or later little girl, and when I do it's going to hurt."
COMBATSYS: Maki endures Mr.Big's Light Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //// ]
Mr.Big 0/-------/------=|=======\-------\1 Maki
Maki learns that Mr. Big is indeed going to hit her, and it happens sooner... a LOT sooner. In fact, Maki tenses herself up for Mr. Big's attack, but finds herself getting hit rather hard by the attack, and that really takes the wind out of her. She gasps for air and staggers backwards a little, and then stumbles forward, heading face first to the mat.
Mr. Big had best watch out, though, as she's got a last strike heading his way.
COMBATSYS: Maki can no longer fight.

Easily stepping out of the way of Maki's last strike, Mr. Big sneers down at Maki's limp body angrily. "It's about damn time," He mutters as he turns his back on the girl and raises his arms in the air to the crowd's cheers. The bout lasted way too long for his liking, but at least it was a good show for the fans. Ah well, time to prepare for Round 2. Bending down to pick up his headdress, Mr. Big places it on his head, and lets the belly dancers, musicians, and flower girls lead him out of the ring, singing autographs as he leaves.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big has ended the fight here.
As soon as Maki hits the canvas, the referee rushes over to check on her to make sure she's still conscious. After doing that, he signals for the bell to be rung, and then announces via microphone, "The winner by knockout is Mr. Big!"
But by that time, Mr. Big has long since exited the arena, and is off with his girls and the fans, being just as arrogant as he was before. Meanwhile, the referee, along with several ring doctors, are attending to Maki, helping her up and wiping off the blood from her nose and mouth and checking for any possible injuries.
"You fought well, I will give you that, but your arrogance is something else..." Maki mutters to herself as she's helped to her feet and gets her balance on the ropes. She then steps out of the ring and is flocked with various fans who are cheering for her for fighting the good fight. She manages a small smile and a quick wave before she's escorted to wherever she's staying right now for more treatment.
