Description: [OOC] Shingo says, "Prepare to be amazed, as the Incredible R. Mika totally pwns the #1 fanboy Shingo." Okay, so Mika doesn't -totally- pwn Shingo, but it's a fairly close match that takes place in the Australian outback, involves projectile koalas, flying buttocks and lots of Comedic Moments(tm). (Draw Match)
Australia! Home of the wild koalas, with their extremely evil teeth! Never mind the 'roos that'll knock her out with those large feet. Wrestled those last time she was here. Koalas were the goal this week, and she's survived with only a few fang marks marring her skin. Not bad, considering that she really hates those fuzzy beasts. Koala repellant was not even used this time. She simply shimmied up a few trees with some tantalizing eucalyptus branches to entice the little buggers to come down so she could try her moves on them. By doing so, she will one day become as good as her mentor! The one and only... the GREAT ZANGIEF!
Prying pieces of eucalyptus out of her pigtails, Rainbow Mika waits within the shrubbery of the outback locale. Cameras have been set up in the trees to film this Neo League fight she's finally got around to scheduling and only a few of the cameramen have been bitten so far. Koalas? Peaceful creatures? AS IF!
Australia! The Outback! Neo League Fight! Didn't take much coaxing to get Shingo on the next plan from Southtown to Australia, as he'd been itching not only for a fight, but to return to the land down-under since he participated in that one tournament. He can't remember the name of the tournament off hand since he's been through so many since, but he's sure he has it written in his notebook somewhere, and that's all that matters.
Still, no matter how many matches he gets to attend or fighters he gets to meet, he's always in awe that there's someone new he hasn't met yet but that he's heard of. This too is a major reason for him accepting today's match, as he's heard a little about this R. Mika, and quite frankly she seems like quite the nice wrestler. Well, not that Shingo really knows any not-so-nice wrestlers, but then again Shingo thinks most people are nice.
Wearing a hooded jacket over his normal high school attire, Shingo makes his way to the middle of the makeshift outback arena, and grins widely as he looks around for his opponent, finally spotting her in some of the shrubbery. With an enthusiastic wave, and a glint of sun off his teeth, Shingo excitedly walks over with an outstretched hand. "Hello there! Pleased to meet you! My name's Shingo Yabuki...and I take it you're the up and coming R. Mika, yes?"
"H-hey!" Mika blinks those big blue eyes at him and frowns. Bah! There goes being able to jump out of the shrubbery and verbally attack her opponent. Game completely thrown she grabs hold of Shingo's hand and begins to pump it heartily. "RAINBOW MIKA!" Said as loudly as she can say it without shattering anyone's eardrums. "I HEREBY CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT, SHINGO YABUKI!" No microphone can possibly be attached to the outfit she wears, which is, as normal, a very interestingly designed cerulean blue wrestling singlet. "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME FOR A SECOND!"
Releasing his hand, she jumps back and puts both hands on her hips, preening a little much like her favorite female pro-wrestler. Then she makes a small squeak of delight and almost literally bounces over to the center of the area that's been cleared for this fight. When she reaches the center, she turns to the camera and it zooms in to get a close up of her ...
...
... HEY THE FACE IS UP HERE! HELLO!
AHEM.
Silly cameraman. Once it settles on her face she gives a friendly little wave to camera and a toothy grin with her eyes all squinting up and she waits for her opponent to join in.

Well, she's certainly quite enthusiastic. And loud. But definitely enthusiastic. That's a plus one in Shingo's book. Shingo's smile never leaves his face as he wholeheartedly returns the hand pumping before getting his hand returned to him. Her handshake is just as strong as her voice is loud mind you, and Shingo has to rub at the now tender shaked hand, wincing only slightly as he really wasn't expecting that level of enthusiasm. Still, it's refreshing. As soon as Mika has made her joyful way off, Shingo nods solemnly and smirks at Mika, his voice not quite as loud as hers. "And I, Shingo Yabuki, number one student of Kyo Kusanagi, accept your challenge!"
Taking a few steps back from the center of the area, Shingo begins doing a few leg squats and leg stretches, taking deep breaths as he does so. Standing upright, Shingo takes one last deep breath in and exhales before he begins whispering softly to himself. "Relax Shingo. Stay calm." Nerves steadied, stretches done, Shingo unzips the hooded jacket, and tosses it aside into the shrubbery. With a quick smile to the camera, he assumes the Kusanagi-ryuu stance he's braced himself with countless times before, and looking across the makeshift arena towards his opponent subtly nods that he's ready.
"Well Rainbow Mika, time to show me what you've got! Give it your all, because I won't hold back!"
Oh, oh! He really shouldn't have said it quite like that! Show him what she's got? How about no qualms! Rainbow Mika turns to look out at the side of the cleared area and waits.
"..League... RAINBOW MIKA versus SHINGO YABUKI!" Some idle banter from the announcer about each fighter before a bell can be heard (just -where- did they manage to pull -that- from?) and a loud call of, "FIGHT," is given.
Now comes the 'no qualms' part. Mika twists her body about and then hops backward with an alarming speed aiming her toned buttocks for his face in order to take him down. No matter the outcome, she hits the ground with a small bounce and immediately begins to rub her backside, trying to remove a pebble from the soft flesh.

A flying butt attack. In all of Shingo's battles, he's never quite seen anything like that before. Well, somewhat similar, but never...well...never someone aiming their butt right at his face. While Shingo thought he was prepared for the battle, he wasn't quite prepared for the sight of a toned set of butt cheeks aimed directly at his head, and thusly his face blushes in slight embarrassment, which in turn causes his reaction to the attack to slow. His reaction to the butts being slower than normal ends up with Shingo getting a face full of Mika's butt knocking him backward and onto his own behind.
Shaking off the somewhat unorthodox attack method of his opponent, Shingo dusts off his school pants as he gets back up and re-assumes his Kusanagi-ryuu stance. He's still blushing a little, but he's definitely smiling as he watches Mika's after-attack reaction. With a jabbed point with the index finger on his right gloved hand, Shingo calls out to his buttocks attacking foe. "Nice backside you've got there, but it's time for a little something I like to call--" Shingo pauses. Beat. Beat. Wait for it...
And then almost without warning, Shingo leaps in the air towards Mika, right leg extended in an arc that seems to be aimed at an area between her solar plexus and her shoulder, letting out a shout of "--SHINGOOOOOOO KICKUUUUU!" as he makes his rapid descent.

But there was a bit of warning! He's screaming SHINGOOOOO KICKUUUU! Rainbow Mika thusly sees the foot coming toward her breasts and tries to shoot an arm up to block the foot from hitting her. Problem is, she's getting to her feet at the same time and coordination after flinging herself butt first at someone isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Pun totally not intended.
Therefore she's slid back a few feet, blonde pigtails almost sticking out straight behind her from the sheer force behind that hit. "YEEEEEOWCH!" Mika rubs at the side of her breast with the inner portion of her arm and full on pouts. "THAT HURT!"
Not long after that, she's throwing herself toward him in an attempt to lock her arms around his waist, hoist him up and simply throw him toward one very large, very koala filled tree.

Well, that was somewhat unexpected. Hitting Mika in her overly ample chest with his patented 'Shingo Kick'(tm) wasn't exactly what he had in mind...so the moment his foot connects with the soft tissue, and he subsequently recovers from his attack, Shingo enters 'apologetic mode' almost instinctively.
Looking at Mika, Shingo bows slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of sorrow. "Sorry about that! Was aiming a little higher..." Shingo's voice trails off almost instantly however as Mika apparently wasn't about to take his Shingo Kick totally sitting down, making apologizing to Mika a big mistake. Granted, normally he wouldn't, but he has such respect for women that it's tough to not apologize for something as audacious as a boob kick.
Back to Shingo's mistake, before he actually can properly react to the situation, Mika throws herself at him, easily grapples both her arms around his waist, and ends up tossing him towards a tree filled with koalas. Ravenous, hungry, koalas. Thankfully, Shingo isn't a part of a complete koala diet, but his back smacking into the tree doesn't help matters. Nor does bouncing off the tree face first into the ground. "Mrrfle."
Tossed, but hopefully not forgotten, Shingo pushes himself off of the ground, and yet again dusts off his school uniform. At this rate, he may need to do laundry when he gets back to Southtown. Problem with fighting wrestlers, is that if they get close, it's game over. Problem with Shingo's fighting technique when fighting wrestlers, is that he generally needs to get close to fight them. Attempting to recall what a good method of attack would be in this case, Shingo whips out his trusty handy dandy notebook from within his school uniform jacket, and begins flipping through the pages to consult it for advice on wrestlers. "Notebook, notebook...let's see...what'd be a good move for this sort of situation..." Of course, the act of reading his notebook is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, an opponent may view it as some sort of taunt. On the other hand, it means Shingo is distracted from the other fighter as his nose is deeply wedged into the notebook itself.

Disgruntled koalas throw their eucalyptus to the ground from high above. Looks like they might just want to join into the match! Spying this Rainbow Mika begins to back away from the tree that Shingo is just standing under. Reading a... book? HOW INSULTING! ZANGIEF WOULD NEVER WASTE TIME IN A FIGHT READING! ARRRGH!
An irritated expression peers out from beneath the cerulean mask and she sets her hands to her hips. "DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE ME! SORRY I MADE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR HOMEWORK THOUGH! THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE A FIGHT!"
Not wasting any more time, she begins to run full speed ahead. Her head is down at the moment, so that she can build up velocity. Or for some other nonsensical reasoning, like it makes her look not unlike a bull charging a matador. Before reaching him, she raises her head up and throws a quick, head-level swipe with one hand and tries to knock the notebook away with the other.

Disgruntled koalas may just yet get their chance to join the match! More on that shortly.
While Mika's yelling might normally yield a response from Kyo, Shingo is a slightly different beast. Slightly different in so far as not being so hot-headed, and in this case, slightly different as he's busy attempting to find some sort of strategy within his notebook for how to deal with this situation. Not wanting to waste any more time himself, Shingo deftly slips the notebook back into his school jacket, just in time to notice a rampaging Mika heading straight for him at full speed. Ole!
Not wanting to potentially injure his opponent too much this early into the match, Shingo looks frantically around for anything he can toss at the charging cerulean clad wrestler, and no matter how hard he looks his eyes keep getting drawn back to the same thing - the disgruntled koalas. In specific, the disgruntled koalas whose tree he had hit earlier, and who wanted to join the fight. Well, here's their chance! With all the speed Shingo can muster, Shingo dives into a roll, grabs one of the koalas, and tosses it towards Mika's head. "SHINGOOOO KOALLLLAAAA ATT--" Of course too little too late as Mika hits her mark, smacking Shingo right in the head, which causes him to spin around a bit. His notebook, thankfully is still in tact. The spinning action however leaves Shingo a little dazed, and VERY much open for attack.
The thrown koala on the other hand? Just more disgruntled. Partly because he missed, and partly because he was thrown.
GAAAACK! Mika wasn't expecting a koala to go zooming past her head. Luckily she manages to not get clawed with those ferocious beastie claws, or nibbled on by those EVIL razor sharp koala teeth!
Sure. The Discovery Channel makes them -look- cute, but the blonde femme knows better!
"NOW THAT'S JUST MEAN!" Rainbow Mika cries out to her opponent. "IF I'D KNOWN YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT, I'D HAVE WORN MY KOALA REPELLANT!" Even though she's not been able to find another bottle since they ran into Rolento out here. Or was it Rolento who ran into them?
Memory distractions aren't conducive to putting up a good fight though, and well she's got to try to win! She's on television!
((HI MOM!))
Hoping the dazed Shingo is at a loss for what to do now that his career in koala tossing has proven to be a bust, Mika slips behind him and sends her arms to lock about his waist. From there she'll simply try to lift him up and simply fall backward onto the ground, while bridging his back and legs before slamming him down hard onto his upper back. If completely successful she'll keep the waistlock and try to press him in for the pin.

R.Mika 0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0 Shingo
Shingo may appear dazed, but he's far from confused. Well, no more confused than usual. While a 'Shingo Koala Toss' attack doesn't seem like a likely addition to his repetoire of fighting maneuvers, that doesn't mean he's at a total loss of attacks. He's just trying to make this a little more interesting for the viewers.
Shingo once again shakes off the effects of Mika's hitting him, and is just in time to regain his awareness of his surroundings, or more specifically, regain his awareness of Mika surrounding him and attempting to lock her arms around his waist from behind. If anything, Shingo is a quick learner. You can get him once with an attack or something similar, but to have her wrap her arms around him twice? Not going to happen that fast.
"GECCHU!" Shingo cries out, as he hops up and spins around before Mika can get her arms around him, and raising his elbow high, brings it down with speed and force to drive it towards either Mika's arm or collarbone - as long as it's not her chest again, he can live with it. Once he connects, hopefully cleanly, he'll hop a few steps backwards, and assume his fighting stance once more, edges of his mouth curling up into a smile.
Clearing his throat, Shingo debates singing a little song for the occasion...but decides not to, since it might seem a tad like gloating at this point. Still...what would Kyo do? Smile still on his face, Shingo straightens himself up, places his left hand on his hip and raises his right hand near his face. Extending his index finger on his right gloved hand upwards, he begins to wiggle said digit back and forth in a 'no-no' sort of fashion. "Tsk, tsk. Gonna have to try harder than that Mika, or you're going to find yourself burnt."
This is... really embarrassing! Zangief is going to berate her for sure! Then he'll make her fight teddy bears or something like that in a daycare center filled with children! It's bad enough that she already isn't allowed to fight with REAL bears. No, no. She's only allowed to train with KOALAS! Freaking things. Those evil, EVIL creatures are enough to give anyone a complex.
The elbow is brought down with a lot of speed toward her collarbone and sends her sprawling to the ground on her buttocks with a loud cry of, "AIIIIIEEEEE! YOU'RE SOOOOO MEAN!" It was just a little German Suplex! This guy must really hate pain or something, and his smile is just irritating her now. FINE THEN!
Since he's not allowing her to grab him from behind, once she springs back up to her feet with a somewhat undefeatable bounce she runs past him.
Runrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrun!
Finally she comes to a tree, grabs it and swings around the other side, still running. Gaining speed as she does, she shoots her right arm out straight in the hopes of catching him in the throat in a clothesline and knocking him back against a kangaroo, who might then be helpful enough to kick him back toward her. Or maybe, more realistically she'll hopefully just knock him to the ground once again.

R.Mika 0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0 Shingo
If anything, Shingo is FAR from mean. In fact, he's normally too nice for his own good. Being called mean is just...odd. Usually when he's fighting someone and potentially holding his own, he's not called 'mean'. "Hey now, I'm really not mean. I warned you from the start that I'd give it my all and not hold back..."
Either way, Shingo is back on top of his game. Kyo once taught him that the art of the Kusanagi-ryuu isn't about necessarily thinking, it's about pressing the attack on your opponent, and not letting up. Well, save for a dodge or a block here or there. Granted, through his training he's also learned how to strategize a little, and so when Mika comes charging at him YET AGAIN, he does the most Kyo-like thing he can do, and charges right back towards her, a mischevious little glint in his eyes.
Closer and closer the two combatants come, until Shingo ducks below Mika's incoming attack, spins around on his heel, and launches a solid kick towards Mika's backside in the hopes that it'll just give an extra shove to her momentum. And if not, it at least places him in the somewhat advantageous position of being temporarily behind her to continue the fight.

Having another fighter run at her isn't something she hasn't seen before. So, when Shingo comes at her she doesn't even stop. When he ducks under her arm, she blinks and spins around just in time to see the kick coming for her back. No way she'll be able to avoid it in time, so instead she crosses her arms toward the foot and takes the majority of the momentum along the bones in her forearm. With aching arms, she just HMPHS at him and then yells, "KICKING A GIRL IN THE BACK IS -MEAN- AND KIND OF COWARDLY! WHY DON'T YOU FACE YOUR OPPONENT?"
Without further adieu, she simply runs toward the koala laden tree and shakes it. Not that she's expecting any to fall out, because those nasty razor sharp claws like to cling to things. Happy surprise lights up her face when two topple off the lowest branch. She then sets one in front of each foot and then hauls back and just LAUNCHES them toward Shingo. "TAKE THAT!" Pause. "AND THAT!"
And two very sleepy koalas are suddenly flying toward him, teeth bared and claws jutting outward.

Shingo didn't think it so much cowardly as it was a strategic move...but, perhaps from a wrestling standpoint maybe it was a tad unexpected. Oh well. Looks like this battle is about to go into a full blown war. A koala tossing war.
"Would you believe I'm shy around beautiful girls?" Shingo quips to the comment of not facing his opponents, eyes going slightly wide as the slightly unexpected happens and two sleep koalas begin a flight pattern directly towards Shingo. Not about to be outdone by the wrestler (and praying that he can pull this off, because it'll be incredibly risky), Shingo once again runs headlong right towards Mika and the impending doom of the koala duo, both arms outstretched to his sides, hands wide open.
Thankfully, the gambit pays off for Shingo, as at the very moment of koala impact, Shingo snatches the two koalas out of the air with his free hands and in one swift motion tosses them aside as if they were merely getting in his way. The impending threat of koala pain averted, Shingo flashes Mika yet another smile and standing up straight once more, does his best to look relaxed. "Nice try, but it'll take more than that to stop Kyo Kusanagi's number one student!" Shingo exclaims, the heat of the battle beginning to course through his veins.

"ARE YOU HITTING ON ME?" Mika's voice is quite loud and carries through the empty outback, causing the camera crew to snicker and guffaw at that. The wrestler-femme shakes her head, causing her pigtails to dance about behind her as she watches him simply pluck her projectile nemesis' from the air.
"I'VE GOT MORE RIGHT HERE!" Reaching up into the tree, she plucks down two more koalas and simply LOBS them toward Shingo with alarming velocity. "HIYAAAAH!" Koala One is sent airborne toward his face, arms and legs flailing and teeth chomping at the piece of eucalyptus that's suddenly gone from it's mouth. "HNNNNGH!" Koala Two (quite wide in girth) is hefted toward his stomach. Koala Two is a tad more graceful though and it's arms are triangled up above it's head as though it's diving or about to bore into someone's flesh.

In a way, Shingo can't help but facepalm at the fact that this lovely young cerulean clad wrestler is not only tossing more koalas at him, but is now assuming he's hitting on her. Not that he wouldn't potentially LIKE to hit on her, but Shingo isn't the type to really do that...least not during a fight. Well, not much outside of a fight either.
Getting his mind back into the game, Shingo's mind quickly weighs the situation, and he does the one thing Mika might not be expecting - he resumes his run straight for her. Of course, the koala's hit him, it's just a matter of where and how. The koala aimed at Shingo's face, ends up hitting the top of his head - while it connects, and hurts, the koala bounces off of Shingo's running head as a soccer ball might. The second koala aimed at Shingo's stomach ends up with a similar situation...although it manages to make a few nice cuts into Shingo's fairly clean white school shirt. Regardless, Shingo endures as he closes the gap between himself and his opponent, and lets elbows fly.
In specific, he attempts to hit Mika in the torso with a quick elbow strike attack from one elbow, followed by a quick strike from his other elbow, finished off with a lovely half-twist of his hip which in turn leaves the attack off with an attempted strong hipcheck to (with any luck if it connects), knock the fiesty wrestler down... And to hopefully stop her from chucking dangerous, blood thirsty, mangy koalas at him.

But dangerously blood thirsty koalas are SO MUCH fun to toss! The fact that he's allowed the koalas to make contact with his body is enough to cause Rainbow Mika to giggle. A good, loud, hearty giggle. Too bad those vile creatures didn't do just a little more damage! It's not fair! If they would have been launched at her, they would have been all teeth gnawing and claw slashing. Yucky things!
Very little time is actually given to contemplate such things though as the young man she's fighting is already launching toward her with another barrage of attacks. "EEEEP!" Not only does Mika -dodge- the attack, she ducks around to the other side of the koala tree and tries to figure out just how to actually hurt this guy. So far nothing much seems to be effecting him at all, and that makes her sad. Sniff!
Sadly, no more koalas are tossed his way, but he does have to deal with a FLYING Mika! From behind the tree she lurches out and rushes toward him. Head bobbing slightly she bounces happily, twirls around and then simply makes an attempt at crashing her head against his very unceremoniously. She's got not a care in the world where her forehead hits. She's just aiming it for his face.

R.Mika 1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Shingo
There comes a time in every fight where a choice has to be made. Actually, there come many times in a fight where choices to be made. In this case, the primary choice was whether or not Shingo was going to do anything about the incoming forehead coming directly towards his face at ridiculously hazardous speeds.
Unfortunately for Shingo, he hasn't been making too many of the right choices during this fight. Instead of perhaps blocking, or moving out of the way, or perhaps even taking the fight up a notch, Shingo thought that MAYBE, just MAYBE, a quick jab to Mika's head as it was coming towards him might make her think twice about such tactics.
Again, unfortunately Shingo was wrong.
Oh sure, the quick jab does fly forth, Shingo's fist flying valiantly through the air...it's just that it misses it's mark by at least a few inches, and as a result doesn't really stop Mika's forehead from connecting to his face for a bit of an owwie. Enough of an owwie to have him reeling backward a few feet, and rubbing his noggin from the immediate pain. "Oww." is about all Shingo can bluntly state, before the effects of the headbutt slowly fade, and he YET AGAIN, puts himself into his fighting stance, completely unsure of what the heck this wrestler is going to do next.
Tut, tut! While Shingo is busy standing there, not certain what to do next, Rainbow Mika knows PRECISELY what she's going to do! (No, it doesn't involve her flying backward and making another buttocks attack!). "HAHA!" She states, though not at all gleefully. "YOU'VE BEEN THWARTED WITH BOTH MY BUTTOCKS AND MY NOGGIN NOW! LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE..."
Dramatic Pause(tm).
"... THIS!" Springing in to a forward handstand in his direction, she uses the momentum of her body to attempt knocking him down with her legs. If he makes it to the ground, an attempt to flip with the the aforementioned extremely powerful legs will be made. And if flipped? Well, she's just going to have to try to pin him, like they do in wrestling matches. Why not, right?

Mistakes and Shingo seem to be going hand in hand in this fight. Of course, the mistakes just keep getting larger, and larger. Thankfully Kyo isn't around to watch him mess up so badly.
So Mika's taunting him. Fine and dandy. No sweat. She's now pretty much springing towards him. No sweat. Thinking about what Kyo would do, Shingo crouches slightly to prep his legs for a special counter he'd whipped up for such an attack...and...
...ends up being knocked to the ground by Mika's legs, then flipped as if he were a rag doll, and last but not least, she ends up pinning him to the ground. Joy.
Either way, Shingo doesn't let this setback get him down. Oh no. He's still as cheerful as ever, smile lasting to the bitter end. "I'm glad I accepted this match. Not every day I get to fight a wrestler. Shame you're still not giving it your all." Shingo attempts to say this all as non-chalantly as possible, and as sincerely as possible, but he doesn't really mean it. In fact, she's putting forth quite a bit of effort. It's just that somehow he's a tad off his game. Then again, just because he's off, doesn't mean he's not going to acknowledge the effort. "Hehe...just kidding. You're doing amazing. Impressive so far, but the match is far from over!"
Not giving it her all? "HEY!" Rainbow Mika gets up and shakes her fist at him. "I WARNED YOU NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Really, she's just talking big but that's what professional wrestlers do! It makes them look better and bolsters their confidence when they're not entirely sure of a fight.
Seeing as how he's still down, the blonde femme wrestler reaches with both hands and tries to draw Shingo up to his feet. If she's able to pull him up he's not going to have much of a chance to stabilize himself. Nope. Uh-uh. Not happening! Her head simply launches itself forward in a hard headbutt. Followed by another, and another, and another. One more for good measure to perhaps dizzy him, then she tries to grab, lift and throw him toward one of the camera men. RAR!

Shingo may have been down, but he's VERY far from being out of the count just yet. Sure, she may have knocked him down a few times, this last time harder than before, but Shingo's resilient. VERY resilient.
Being resilient also means that he doesn't necessarily need her help up. He allows her a moment to pull him up a little, but the moment he's on his feet and the headbutts begin coming fast and furious, Shingo crosses his forearms and raises them roughly to his forehead level in a very successful block of her insane barrage.
Sure, his forearms are a little sore from the attack, but the damage could've been worse. Pushing off, and backing away from Mika, Shingo keeps his eye on his opponent as a bit of a plan pops into his head. Yet another risky gambit, but he's learned a few things about how Mika fights, and that's more than enough for him to think it might be worth a shot. She probably expects him to retaliate. Time to do the unexpected.
Looking inward, Shingo closes his eyes and begins breathing deeply, slowly, calming his nerves, his thoughts. If he's going to pull off what he has planned, he's going to need every iota of concentration he's got.

Hmm. No attack right away? No retaliation? Does it phase Mika? Heck no. While she could use this time to take a brief respite, maybe catch her breath, possibly stop and play pinochle with the band of rather irritated koalas that were being thrown to and fro earlier, she does none of these things.
Even though it would be the safest, most sane thing she could do.
But! Safe and sane aren't the way of her favorite wrestler in the entire world. The great... the WONDERFUL... ZANGIEF! If he did things safe and sane, he wouldn't be able to pull of -half- of what he does. So the question remains, just what -does- the wonderfully blonde woman do?
First she hops forward away from him. Then she wiggles her hips a little. Step back. Bend the knees. Suddenly there is this lovely, toned and firm buttocks flying toward Shingo again. This time though she's not aiming for his face. Just his torso, but again it's hopefully enough to knock him backward. Once Mika hits the ground her hand comes down to rub the edge of said buttocks again before she stands up to see if she's managed to pull it off.

Ah yes, the flying butt attack (tm) again. Shingo recalls this. Unfortunately, he can't quite recall what he did the last time, besides get a face full of Mika's backside. Embarrassing as that was. Not to be outdone, Shingo smiles softly as the buttocks come towards him, raising an elbow in preparation, and then--
"Ooof." Shingo gets knocked back a few feet by sheer virtue of Mika's buttocks connecting with his torso. Yes, he's knocked back a few feet, slightly winded and now forced to rub his belly at the recent impact...but this isn't going to slow down his plan. Nuh-uh.
"Alright Mika. You've got me twice with that move of yours...but the battle is far from over. Well, not that far. But I do guarantee that my next attack is going to make you think twice..." Shingo can't help but smiles, eyes revealing only that Shingo has many many little thoughts going on through his mind. Of course, they don't reveal what those thoughts are, but rest assured, Shingo has what he hopes to be an adequate plan to win this fight. Especially since he's been goofing up so much.
Is Rainbow Mika going to stand there and wait for him to attack her? Hells naw! The blonde just smiles as she runs past Shingo yet again. Not much grappling done this fight, but without a ring it's hard to improvise some of her normal tactics. When she reaches the pile of downed koalas, she hops atop them and uses them as a springboard to launch herself up into the air. She's not very high, but that doesn't stop her from angling herself in toward Shingo with a nice little downward punch directed at his shoulder.

Considering how some of Shingo's tactics have worked up until now, there's really only one reaction to Mika that makes the most sense considering his plan - simply put, a block. So as Mika comes downward with a fist aimed towards his shoulder, Shingo begins to move to the side as he brings an arm up in defense, allowing her to hit his arm but not her target, and allowing him to establish a fair bit of distance between the two of them to set up his next move.
Taking a few breaths now as he slowly becomes more and more fatigued, Shingo still manages to smile, barely, as he addresses his opponent. "Mika, I just want to let you know, this has been a blast so far...but it's time for some drastic measures." Smile quickly turns to grin as Shingo leans forward a bit, bracing himself for a quick powerful run. "Let's go SHINGOOOO! DRIVINGGGG PHOENNIIIXXX BURNERRRRR!!!" is let loose at the top of Shingo's lungs as he charges with all his might, putting every last bit of what he's got into what he hopes will turn the tide of this battle. As soon as enough momentum has been achieved, Shingo angles his shoulder towards Mika, and pours every last bit of effort into what he hopes will give Mika a good knock back, down, or well, some sort of a knock. Shoulder slam ahoy!

R.Mika 1/------=/=======|==-----\-------\0 Shingo
Drastic measures indeed! Poor Rainbow Mika is literally charged. One man, charging her like a herd of nasty, mangy koalas! At the warning cry (just why do people do that anyhow?), the wrestler femme raises her arms in an attempt to block.
What happens next is comical at best.
Mika goes flying. Not just knocked back or down. FLYING. As she arcs downward she doesn't even have a chance to roll into a ball. The sheer momentum and velocity of that hit have her dropping to the ground before she tumbles head over heels a few times against the dusty ground. Not unlike a tumbleweed, though truth be told, tumbleweed is far more graceful than pigtails flying in every which direction and arms flailing at the sides.
"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!"
*THUD!*
Thank goodness that tree was there to stop her, or Mika -might- just have had enough momentum to drag her to New Zealand.
The scary thing in all of this is that Mika somehow pulls herself to her feet, albeit a little dazedly and after shaking her head a few times she hops right back into the fight. What happens next comes by in a cerulean blur.
First, she lunges toward Shingo with a backhand punch. Then she follows through with a simple fist toward his face. A low side kick follows, immediately after which is a roundhouse that will (hopefully) knock him back a few feet so that she can complete the piece de resistance!
Brace yourselves!
Twisting around after the roundhouse is set in motion, Mika LEAPS backward with her buttocks first (yet again!). This time, she's aiming for poor Shingo's face once more in the hopes of taking him out with her. Whether any of this hits him or not, by the time the blonde femme wrestler hits the ground, she simply sprawls herself out and lays there. Bright blue eyes close and she takes a few extremely deep breaths before signaling that she's out.

COMBATSYS: Shingo can no longer fight.
Shingo had a feeling from the beginning of this fight that something wasn't right. Could've been jet lag. Could've been the fact he was thrown off guard by having a butt launched at him so many times. Could've just been the fact that it wasn't his day. Then again, Mika was an excellent fighter... at least for next time he'll know exactly how to handle her. As it stands, he was foolish enough to get within her attack distance...and well, the rest was recorded on film.
And so the last few moments of the fight went down pretty much in a straight forward manner. Shingo rushed towards Mika, hit her with a nice shoulder charge, thought that maybe that'd have ended the fight, and was surprised by a last ditch attack by Mika that in short could be described as an all out barrage - and Shingo having just come out of an attack where he put everything he had into it, was left wide open to be on the receiving end of a major brunt of the punching and kicking around. To add insult to injury though, Mika's buttocks end up being the last thing Shingo sees before he hits the ground.
Struggling to keep conscious, and straining his eyes to keep open, Shingo lies almost motionless on his back as he regards the quickly passing out Mika, and with the last of his strength, raises a gloved hand in her direction to give her a thumbs up. Having acknowledged that she did well, and without enough energy to say much of anything, Shingo lets himself go into the sweet release of passing out.
On the bright side, at least Shingo can be thankful for not losing, and for learning a bit more on how to handle these pesky wrestler types. On second thought, about the only thing he'll probably remember from this experience was to avoid Mika's buttocks should they ever come flying at his face again. Not that they weren't lovely buttocks, and a semi-pleasant last thing to see before being knocked out...but he was hoping that he'd be able to stand, retain some dignity, and come out on top. Oh well. That's what rematches are for.
