[OOC] Raiden starts log
[OOC] Seishirou says, "it's more Europe than asia but I was just checking to see if your log was running. Doesn't matter tho. T_T;;;"
[OOC] Raiden says, "It doesn't matter since it won't show up in the log!"
Tel Azeka. By all rights, a beautiful terrain.
The ground is loose, rocky underneath the feet, and a small stone wall runs along the edge of a nearby trail leading further across the plateau, limned with the trees of a well tended new forest, offering waving shade in the morning light, just overlooking the valley.
Ryouhara is checking the ties on his shoes, one foot planted on the rock wall.
He.. doesn't look happy.
Officially, he's here to brush up on the information-gathering he's been neglecting the past few months. The truth is of course, he needs a little more funding for what was taking up so much of his time. SNF provides a useful immediate outlet for that. However, that's not what's bothering him.
You see, he has very little intelligence on the man he's supposed to fight. This is expected, given his preoccupation and almost disappearance from the official fighting circuit, save a brief and tragic fall early on in World Warrior. He simply doesn't have a lot of time to go over his various notes and collected files as easily as he would normally.
But he /is/ familiar with the legend of Tel Azeka. David vs. Goliath.
Seishirou does not fancy himself a particularly large youth.
And he is well aware of the event's sense of humor.
Geese does have a rather sick sense of humor at times. Raiden is thinking of that for other reasons. He knows the story of David and Goliath rather well and given his size he is doubting he is going to be playing the part of David today. Not unless Hugo or the like will be waiting for him when he arrives. He also knows that David was the one that ended up winning with cunning over brute strength so Big Bear can't help but think that perhaps things might be stacked against him this afternoon.
Not that he minds in all actuality. What he wants is a good fight and he is hoping this Seishirou fellow can provide him with it. The hot weather also has left Big Bear to decide on wearing something more simple than his wrestling tights. A giant white tank top and a pair of jeans are worn on him today instead. The mask has stayed though, white with red trim to try to help deflect the heat as much as he can. Slowly the large wrestler approaches the field of battle as he eyes the scant few fans that have come out to watch and then look too who he assumes his opponent is for the fight. "Ello, mate." he says in a rather booming and yet friendly voice. "Lets make the best of this and get a beer afterwards, all right?"
[OOC] Seishirou says, ".. that would be funny as hell."
[OOC] Seishirou says, "Raiden shows up. And HUGO is standing there. with Zangief armor on."
[OOC] Seishirou says, "Raiden: .. well damn. o_o"
[OOC] Raiden says, "DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!"
As the most absurdly dressed amongst the spectators, Seishirou must indeed be it.
As the largest man possibly in the entire country so far, Raiden must be his opponent.
Seishirou pauses when he starts to hear cautious whispers amongst the crowd. He secures his footwear with one final tie. Turns, and looks up. For some time, this looking up trend continues until Seishirou sights a head. He considers quietly as to how to handle this situation with some consternation. Suspicions confirmed, he finally settles on an opinion. Things are bad.
".. You're not going to eat me after, are you?" Seishirou asks warily. It would be a funny jab at Raiden's weight, the kind retarded people make just before being summarily crushed. If Seishirou was not dead serious about this. He has met Freeman. In SNF. Seishirou is not the mocking type.
He opens a hand, as he settles into a fighting stance. ".. If not, you'd have to buy. I'm broke," he lies coyly. Nevermind he's too young for drinking. Hey, when has the law stopped him from doing anything? "Until then. Let's dance." He seems to have reconciled any internal turmoil in short time.
Could be worse.
Could be Sagat.

[OOC] Seishirou nods. ._. He just cares about what makes sense for the scene, so have at
[OOC] Seishirou takes a moment to hit potty tho D:
At least this big man seems to have something Sagat does not as well. A sense of humor. The comment about eating him only causes the large wrestler to laugh a little and give a rather big grin. "Don't have enough meat on yer bones, mate. I think yer safe." And while the man has a belly on him there is no denying the large muscles in his arms as he takes a deep breath and flexes them a few times to loosen up. If anything the ninja can guess that being hit by this man could hurt all to hell. Fat men are at least slow, right?
Big Bear looks over to the official who raises his hand then throws it down to start the fight. Something Raiden is more than happy to obligue with. Dance indeed. Those large, meaty hands are already on the way to grasp for Seishirou as he intends to headlock the ninja in one arm before bringing his fist around to slam onto the top of Seishirou's head once before letting go. Time to clean his clock early it would seem.

[OOC] Seishirou says, ".. ow"
[OOC] Raiden says, "yeah D:"
This will be an interesting practice in physics. Simply put, Raiden simply looks /too heavy/ for his traditional invisible wire to pull off the ground. Even more simple is the fact that even if he could manage the feat, his body weight alone isn't going to phase this Raiden.
Seishirou isn't even sure he can /pull/ that much. He'll have to investigate alternative measures and wait for the appropriate opportunity.
He has an easy time of catching the ninja--when he's snatched, Seishirou steels himself, while applying pressure against the headlock. This is data collection all the same. And he needs to know...
... ow.
One blow knocks the ninja backwards. The sudden pressure he applied against the headlock, plus the expected force of the punch is enough to break free. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. At once, he flips to the side. His intent.. was to get behind Raiden. If he can stay there, he can continue to launch attacks unimpeded. But let's see how good Seishirou's aim is with stars flooding his vision. That really hurt.
One kunai thrown, with a dead aim, just below the shoulderblade, thrown mid-flip. It's fast. It's .. actually pretty disturbingly well-aimed if Raiden doesn't make too many sudden moves. And it will explode if it hits its target, with a single handseal.
By the way. That hurt a lot. We're not collecting any more data in that fashion if we can help it.

[OOC] Raiden says, "Imbued Meat."
This might be one of the few times the big man manages to catch the quicker of the two fighters. Even so he has to be pleased with the results. The resounding whap across the head means he hit a ninja and not some weird replacement dummy like he has seen happen to other fighters. If anything his mistake may have been letting the ninja go instead of keeping him at close range for more punishment. He raises his arm into the air and points a finger to the sky as he looks around the crowd to play off of them. A mix of boos and cheers fill area as he lets himself get caught up in the moment, but not long enough to see something coming his way.
Fat men shouldn't be able to move this quick at all. He turns about and a large hands clap over the kunai to catch it and even as the explosion goes off between his hands he just grins again and pulls his hands about. "Tricky. I like that." And with that being said the big man comes forward once again intent on driving his shoulder against the chest of the smaller fighter then quickly standing up to just up and backbodydrop him right back onto the ground behind him. No time to slow down and let the ninja think. That is when they are most dangerous.
COMBATSYS: Seishirou dodges Raiden's Combo Grapple.

Raiden 0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0 Seishirou
"/...../"
If silent profanity had a sound, Seishirou just make it.
That is /not/ part of the plan. When a huge guy just grabs a bomb and meats it into submission, it is clearly time for a different plan. The best Seishirou can manage in response? "Uh.. thanks."
Then the dodging begins.
Seishirou moves extremely fast for a little guy, almost a blur at the last possible instant before Raiden descends on him in a wave of violence. He has to make this count. Seishirou steps to the side and then circumvents Raiden's mass. No, he's not intending on being ruined again today. But he doesn't attack, not after that withering array of speed. Instead, he reaches back to his satchel. And unzips a pocket.
The interesting thing about Seishirou. Yes, he needs to think.
For most, this is something that can be interrupted, be thrown off.
For Seishirou, one glance is enough.
COMBATSYS: Seishirou focuses on his next action.

Raiden 0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0 Seishirou
This isnt' something Raiden is unaccustomed to by far. Usually he is the much slower of the people involved in a fight and so when he rushes forward only to hit nothing and continue forward there isn't a look of confusion. Instead it just grimaces into a determined look as he stands back up and turns about till he finds where the ninja is standing again. He takes a few deep breathes as he keeps his gaze fixed on the ninja and where he might try to dodge off to when he comes in again. He is going to just have to wear him down somehow and see how things end up.
Not much more time is spent on thinking. It is converted into a forward charge once again as the big man raises his arms high as he rumbles forward. Though what happens afterward may be a bit more surprising than what Seishirou could expect. Raiden actually leaps into the air and his feet sling forward attempting to plant into the rather soft and pillowy ninja and to knock him back before the big man lands on the ground with a heavy thud.

[OOC] Raiden says, "It's all I got! I got 11 reflex mang"
That guy moves disturbingly quickly.
For someone who is just short of 4 times Seishirou's displacement, anyway.
Seishirou fades back. Moves. He knows exactly what to do. One hand spreads open, milky white trailing up between his fingers. This he turns to bear on Raiden as the man jumps. His shoulder raises swiftly. And then the ninja strikes.
Or is stricken. "GACK!"
That same hand slamming into the ground, but now as Seishirou is flying after being landed in by 400-some bounds of devastation, it's more to stabilize himself than anything else. The ninja smacks into the ground in this fashion once, before recovering and rolling away, further on towards the valley.
Time enough to get to one knee.
Plenty of time to get up entirely in the end from the looks of it. Big Bear is taking his dear sweet time to get up it would seem at least. He dusts off his jeans as best as he can and he starts forward towards the injured ninja. "Dunno what trick that was, but I am glad it didnt' work." he admits as he cracks his knuckles and steps forward slowly and keeps his focus on the ninja for any other tricks he might be setting up. Is there a trap involved somewhere? There damn well might be. He also knows to avoid any rocks at all costs lest he wants to replicate what happened to Goliath in the tales of old.
Instead the big Aussie trundles foward and begins picking up speed as he goes from a jog into a full out run which is quite impressive for someone of his statue. He then dives forward to tackle Seishirou to the ground to pin him and perhaps if he is lucky to get a good enough grip to pick him up as he stands to put on his shoulders then to fall back right on top of the ninja in a rather forceful manner that might have the crowd going 'Oh shi-!' before all is said and done.

[OOC] Raiden says, "Being meaty comes at a cost. No projectiles either."
..Hm. Now whether it's because of Raiden's wariness of the plan as it's set forth or otherwise, Seishirou's tactics did not work as they intended. His intent.. was never actually to land the sealing jutsu on Raiden himself. T odo so would imply being close and having to stretch out a limb to touch him. Either would have been terrible form. Instead, Seishirou used a variant of the seal. When Raiden rushes in, one handseal sets it off. "RELEASE!"
On the ground, when Seishirou bounced off of it. That was the set point.
Seishirou's clan sigil suddenly and violently blooms on the dirt in steaming red, spinning leaves in a circle about large enough for a normal man to stand in. Not Raiden though. The seal, once bloomed, releases. And Seishirou's chi floods to the area. This generates an explosion.
It generates it /late/.
Ryouhara is genuinely stunned for the moment it takes for Raiden to tackle him.
The following moments, filled with pain. Misery. The snapping of bones. A lot of Seishirou's blood. And a lot of otherwise completely unphased meat falling on him to crush savagely and instantly. It's like the god of flesh storms decided Seishirou wasn't to survive today.
Maybe he shouldn't've said anything about being eaten, huh?
Was the story of David and Goliath to be rewritten today? Given how everything is going for Seishirou it may very well be. Raiden wasn't even sure what the heck the heck that whole thing with leaves was. Hell, were there even any trees in this damn place? He doesn't know how damn lucky he is at this point. He is more intent on just throwing the ninja about as if he is some sort of rag doll. There are even some fans looking away as things continue to get worse in the throwing and beating. There might be a reason why Raiden was banned from being in any sort of wrestling federation these days.
As if things weren't bad enough for Seishirou he can feel the weight come off of him only briefly and he would only see the large wrestler leaning forward with his hands reaching to help pull Seishirou back to his feet. Well, there is more to it than that to be honest. It is an attempt to just up and lift him and start charging forward before leaping forward to slam him hard down onto the ground head first as he lets out a mighty bellow. IS THIS THE END!?

Raiden 0/-------/-----==|======-\-------\0 Seishirou
Ryouhara is dragged up, shortly after Raiden stands. Weakly, his bleeding body can't even protest as it hands in the air, limp like a rag doll, and bleeding from multiple areas from the sheer physical mass that just landed on him with martial force. Internal bleeding from broken ribs, /external bleeding/ from broken ribs. Very probably a broken arm, from the looks of things.
And then he's broken underneath the man. Body slammed. Head first.
Ryouhara considers this a moment, the ground smeared with bits and pieces of him.
Then he shatters like glass.
Meanwhile, the real Ryouhara is standing some ways behind Raiden. He is, for all intents and purpsoes, in exactly the same condition as the other--a cunning chi duplicate of himself generated at the exact instant Raiden got up, allowing him to escape--only Seishirou is in one piece. He is panting. He is bleeding. And he is mildly concerned about the outcome of this fight.
He holds up a hand, his other arm limp.
"Hold on. From here onwards, the battle is pointless," Seishirou admits. "..Thought I had all the bugs worked out of the jutsu modification," he adds, in afterthought to himself.
He turns to an official, standing off somewhere to the side, looking like he's about to be sick. Thumbing at Raiden, he bites off "I concede. That guy's earned it." His eyes dark, lips pressed in a thin line. But there is no anger in those darkened eyes. Mild dissatisfaction instead marks his features.
[OOC] Seishirou says, "there is a time to fight"
[OOC] Seishirou says, "And then there is a time to run the hell away because you like HAVE YOUR OWN GRAVITY MAN C_C_"
It finally damned happened. He knew it would be coming, but it was just the matter if he knew that it truely would happen with him or not. Maybe Seishirou was just playing at being a ninja this whole time if anything. Oh hell no he wasn't. He was just having an off day, but when he needed it he finally showed that he does have tricks up his sleeve. Was the ninja perhaps playing with him this whole time? No, he is looking a bit too battered to really be doing that. It also seems that he really isn't a bad guy in the sense that he doesn't look like he is going to press his assault on Seishirou when he asks the larger fighter to stop.
With a serious expression on his face he strolls forward to look down at the ninja and stares for a few long moments. Of course he ends up not being able to keep that serious look on his face for long as he bursts out laughing and pats Seishirou on the back perhaps a bit too roughly even if he meant it to be in a playful manner. "No problem there, mate. I guess a meal and some booze is the least I can offer for you after that." he says and he raises the ninja's arm and points to him as to tell the crowd they should cheer the small guy for trying his best this fight. Of course Raiden might want to think about letting the medics tend to the battered ninja before dragging him off for a wild night out on the town. Are there strippers in Isreal? I GUESS THEY WILL FIND OUT.
[OOC] Raiden says, "After your pose we shall close for me and Jehuty must go get foods."
He.. very carefully re-sets his shoulder back in its socket, with a very wet sound and a grimace. There's nothing he can do about the bone, of course, at least not here. So Seishirou merely lets the arm hang limp.
The Ryouhara ninja doesn't seem to take well to being cheered on, though. Though it likely takes some doing, he'll remove his hand from Raiden's at once, though the simple gesture alone is enough to get most of the audience whooping and cheering for Raiden's good sportsmanship.
That is where Seishirou's deadly glare comes into play.
Within seconds, the crowd, such as it is, is dead silent.
".. Later," Ryouhara remarks roughly, his withering gaze still fixed on the crowd, suppressing them with sheer will alone. "I'll take you up on it. Maybe I'll buy. There's some things I'd like to know. .. For now, I've got business to attend to." Like where he's going to get extra funding now. And only slightly less importantly, his healing. He doesn't particularly like medics poking at him, after all, and he needs to recover his chi for that recovery jutsu to be used.
During the next eyeblink, the ninja is simply gone.
David, uh, didn't win this time. Probably needed more rocks.
Five seconds later, the crowd begins to cheer again.
