Description: [OOC] Tenma says, "Yeah we need more family friendly things to make fun of about each other." ALSO, PEOPLE DIE -- or do they?!?!! Find out, in this shocking fight that will leave you ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED. (Winners: Marisol and Luc)
Again another SNF, because Tenma had said so. And who was Hakuya to go against what his friend said? It had at least made his sister happier than a pig in mud, and he had been treated to yet another expensive steak dinner under the pretense that the young Suigetsu heir needed lots of protein to be able to win. Because, you know, the winners got more money, even if losing wasn't so bad, either. His sister meant well, she really did, but he did have to wonder where the money he got -last- time went. Even if he were to never see it, he's curious as to how it was being spent.
In any case, here he was, standing in the middle the roof on Taiyo High, what was being painted as 'neutral ground' between two rivaling schools, even though the rivalry was more between two teams that just happened to be from different schools. Looking around, the Suigetsu heir seemed to have a kind of interest in the running around the staff and crew for this SNF were doing - checking cameras, lights, things like that, all in final preperation. There was no real crowd, because all the room on the spare roof was being used for the fighting arena, or for technical equipment. There was, however, a group of spectators down below in Yaiyo's courtyard, watching courtesey of live TV, since they couldn't see the roof.
Between the crews running around and the cheering of the crowd below, Hakuya had a lot to distract himself with. That is, until he saw the fight announcer signaling to the four fighters, should they be arrived already, to gather in the middle of the ring - it was time to fight. Blinking in bewilderment, Hakuya looks over towards Tenma, and asks, "I've been thinking, since I heard the announcement of who we were going to fight. Do you think it was set up intentionally? Like we're being watched, or something..."
Since it's sort of a school versus school battle at still another school, Tenma decided he might as well wear his uniform; sure, it's not the actual Gedo uniform, but who wants to wear that ugly orange thing? As always, he's carrying his bokken, though he's already dispensed with the sheath, the wooden weapon resting casually against his shoulder. During the time they're left waiting before the match, the Gedo swordsman just enjoys the view; there's no small number of girls in the audience below, and in a few cases you can get a pretty good view from up here...
...But anyway, the announcement that it's nearly time to begin, and more importantly Hakuya speaking to him, snap Tenma out of his, er, reverie, and he looks over at his teammate. "Heh... S'not like we've been keeping it quiet or anything, right? Especially after the two of them jumped you in that one fight." And he did kind of turn on Luc a little during the 'fashion show' battle. "We don't like them, they don't like us, makes for good TV." It's not like Tenma's going to complain, either. Who better to beat up on live television than his two least favourite people?
Another weekend, another Saturday Night Fight. What better way to spend one's weekend than beating the shit out of other people? Especially those particular people you don't really like...
About five minutes after Hakuya and Tenma have united on the rooftop in their given half of the rooftop "arena,"a familiar redheaded Pacific High student comes up the distant stairway. Bringing with her a show of school spirit and pride, the fiery redheaded half-Spaniard girl is clad in the stuffy-looking blue and white uniform, complete with blue blazer and white skirt. Long red locks are pulled into a ponytail atop the girl's head, likely in preparation for the soon-to-be had fight.
In any case, the young woman ascends the stairs, but stops at the top. A moment is spared, to offer a glance across the rooftop. She eyes the SNF crew members with little interest; it's only when those gray depths spy Tenma and Hakuya her expression shifts. Where once she seemed bored at best, now she seems particularly intrigued and interested. In fact, full lips pull into a swift smirk across her pink-colored lips.
Then, rather suddenly, she snaps her head to the side, toward the stairs, where those eyes glare down into the dark depths below. "HEY!" the girl shouts, "Get up here already, and stop being so damn shy, you idiot. You look fine, and it's about damn time you chose to dress in something better than those silly threads you're always sauntering in and around in." Pausing, she squints at some indecipherable shouting from below before she turns and clenches her hands into fists, shouting back down the stairs.
"Yeah, well screw you too! Shut up and get up here already!! We have asses to kick, you moron!!"
That being said, the girl turns again and begins to march forward at the beck and call of the SNF crews.
Luc Schroedinger entered Taiyo Highschool some five minutes ago a very pissed off young man.
Not much has changed in the last five minutes.
He took his sweet time in coming here, likely stalling Marisol for god knows how long as he ambled throughout the highschool hallways. But inevitably, they arrive, the red-headed psychotic of a teammate makes herself known first and foremost. And where is Luc? He stays towards the back, looking irritated -- downright angry -- rather than shy, green eyes glaring up at Marisol in the darkness.
"HEY!" Marisol shouts at him, causing Luc to wince in annoyance, "Get up here already, and stop being so damn shy, you idiot. You look..."
At that point Luc has tuned out the rest of what Marisol says, offering only his middle finger and an inglorious, "Screw you, I'm not being shy! This thing is /stupid/--"
"Yeah, well screw you too! Shut up and get up here..."
"... che!" Grunted out unpleasantly, Luc ambles up the stairs towards the entrance of the roof, the shadows splitting apart from him. And at that point, it should become obvious why the young German is so irritable: he's stuck in the proud blue and white Pacific High school colors, blue blazer and white button-up shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and the tie worn loosely around his neck. He feels out of place. And he looks irritated.
"Geeeeeze," Luc begins, scratching the inside of his ear, "this is stupid. Let's just beat up these worthless losers and get out of here, okay?" Looks fine his ass.
"I look like a clown."
Oddly, Hakuya seems to be the only one not in uniform, though his usual outfit is close enough, perhaps, that it doesn't matter. Except for the white hoodie, he's otherwise in dress code for a Gedo student. Though people might have objections, with the constant presence of the arm wraps and fingerless gloves. He doesn't seem to notice the school uniform motif, however, as he looks over at Tenma, his expression one of somewhat bewildered amazement. "Ah... you're right," he says, impressed that Tenma thought of such an answer - since it seemed perfectly logical, and smart to boot. As expected of his team leader?
Though he had more thoughts on the subject, it's right then that the other two show up, making the black-haired youth turn to look at them. Giving his usual easy smile, he lifts a hand to greet his rivals, apparently either not hearing or simply ignoring their comments. Laid back, perhaps, but you'd almost think he were being friendly with the others, which is odd no matter how you look at it. The last time Hakuya had met with Luc and Marisol, they had fought together, but then they had turned on him in the end and gave him a sound thrashing. Maybe he's not really smiling, then - maybe he's giving one of those 'angry smiles'. By the look on his face, not likely.
It's then that the SNF crew seems to be ready. No more running around, just simple spectation, or operation of cameras. The announcer moves into the center, between the four, and makes the usual announcements, the usual pumping up of the crowd below, who gives a suitably loud cheer, enough to be heard from the roof. Afterwards, he steps back, and looks between the two teeams. "Begin!" he shouts, and with that, the fight will begin.

Of course he's right! Tenma Kiryuu is always correct! The arrival of their opponents is met with a derisive snort from the taller of the two Gedo boys, as Tenma turns his head away from them. Let Hakuya be his usual friendly self as he greets their ETERNAL RIVALS, the swordsman will have no truck at all with that, and instead wears his dislike openly. "Let's show Mr. and Mrs. Monkey who's boss," he mutters to his teammate, and he lifts his free hand to his mouth.
What comes next is no surprise to anyone else in the fight, as they've all seen it before; Tenma bites into his thumb, drawing blood, before using that bloodied digit to paint a crimson strip down the blade of his bokken. The chi link is created, and he sweeps the weapon through the air, causing that misty aura of red to appear around it. "So!!" Tenma says more loudly, thrusting his bokken out to point at the Pacific Resistance members. "I'm feeling gentlemanly today. You two ladies can go first." And with that, it's no doubt 'on'!

Whatever Luc's complaints, Marisol pays no mind; instead, the half-Spaniard girl begins to march forward, followed in tow by her teammate. Though Team Kiryuu might believe them to be smart and wise, Team O'Connell would likely argue otherwise! Particularly since the greeting given by Tenma was less-than pleasant, while Hakuya's was just plain weird. Who greets someone like that after being turned on and thrashed? Marisol just offers a mildly baffled look before she simply snorts and tosses HER head to one side.
"Luc," the girl remarks, for her teammate's ears only. "Let's show these Gedo jackasses they're being idiots for underestimating us." The girl's lips twitch slightly, a broad smirk slicing its way across her sun-kissed features. "I just hope the shit luck you had when paired up with that loser Kiryuu--" Pausing, she jerks a thumb toward the young man as he preps his blade. Hakuya seems forgotten for now. "--didn't curse you."
That said, Marisol whips her head back around, long, wavy coppery-red locks bobbing behind her. "Oh, why, isn't that a surprise!" the girl cries back, hands on her hips as she cocks her head arrogantly to one side as she approaches the two. "You? Being a gentleman? Who're you tryin' to kid, anyway, Tenma?" Shifting her feet beneath her, the girl's hands squeeze, pulling into tight fists. She makes no immediate move. Not yet.
"Or are you just trying to save your face on camera? Huh?" Leaning forward, she lets a Cheshire's grin swiftly cross her face. "Huh? Boob-grabber?"

The heir to the Schwarzerde style is in something of a predicament. While his annoyed expression remains firmly plastered on his face, Luc seems to have grown a touch thoughtful as he stares first at Tenma, and then towards the smiling, annoyingly cheerful Hakuya. Marisol finds the reaction to their presence odd; Luc just finds it annoying. But as Schroedinger looks, he judges, his frown deepening as he runs a hand through wild black locks of hair. And what is he so troubled about?
"... I dunno which one I want to beat up first."
It's a legitimate issue. For him, at least. Half-paying attention to what Marisol says, the older Pacific student snorts ever-so-slightly, shoving his hands right back into his pockets. "Whatever, that loser isn't going to rub his bad luck off on me. Wasn't my fault he doesn't know how to fight with that stupid stick of his." And that's that. He still hasn't forgiven Tenma for screwing up. Not because it cost him the match. Just because he doesn't like Tenma. He really, really doesn't like him.
But right now, the prospect of a new opponent to face is more appealing than beating Tenma's face in -- something he'll save for later. Instead, green eyes snap back to Hakuya, snapping wide as his right hand yanks out of his pocket. He takes a step forward, only to pause, blink, and stare back at Marisol. "... Boob-grabber? What the hell are you talking about?" But -- she doesn't seem to take Tenma's generous offer to start first. So, if she won't... Luc is more than happy to truly kick things off.
Not waiting for a reply from his red-haired teammate, Luc opts instead to just push OFF with a single foot, leaping straight upwards into the air. As he flies, he begins to descend straight for Hakuya, a savage grin splitting his lips. "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT, RAIN MAN!!" His right fist cocked back, he unleashes the tension behind it like a piston, aiming for an overhead shot towards the back of Hakuya's head as he lands -- accompanied by the sudden, fierce BOOM of black-blue chi to accompany the swift strike.

Glancing aside to Tenma as he speaks, he simply nods a bit. Though he doesn't agree with the Mr. and Mrs. Monkey bit verbally, in any case, he's pretty much ready to fight! Rivals or not, they were set to battle against each other... and, hey, what better kind of match than one against people who you know won't fall over in a single hit? He adopts his usual fighting stance, legs apart shoulder width, hands held up, unclenched and palms out, and gets ready to do some battling on top of a roof.
Except that's right when he hears Marisol's comment, and has to pause a bit. Grabbed her boob...? Though he might be a little slow in his thought processes, he understands what that means! Turning his head to look at Tenma, he appears surprised, though not like he's angry or anything. "You grabbed her?" he asks, and the considers a bit, his eyes looking upwards in contemplation. "Um... didn't you say she wasn't your type? I thought you were supposed to ask her to the movies first, any-" and he never finishes the statement, because Luc's right there, flying at him, almost literally. The leaping into the air to deliver the punch is likely the only thing that saves him from getting a faceful of black-chi empowered fist. As it is, the motion is noticed out of the corner of his eye, and he manages to bring his arms up in time to deflect the blow, redirecting it past his head, though the knuckles on the hand still connect with his temple for a glancing sort of blow.
Stumbling back a little bit, Hakuya lowers his arms and then steps forward again, turning as he does so to lash a foot out at Luc's head. Even if it connects, he'll use the momentum to continue around in a full circle, his supporting leg crouching so his body drops, lashing the leg out again for a leg sweep at Luc's knees.
WHAT, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF ON TV, MARISOL! Tenma actually goes a bit red at having it brought out in the open like that, especially since Hakuya also seizes on it, though it's with his usual complete lack of guile. "SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU!!" he shouts, irritating and embarassment completely ruining his concentration and the cool pose he was striking there. "WE'RE HERE TO FIGHT, NOT GOSSIP LIKE A BUNCH OF OLD BIDDIES!" Luckily, there's a voice of reason in the area... But who ever would've thought that would be /Luc/?
With Luc coming after Hakuya, Tenma lets out a faint irritated sound, spitting to one side. He /really/ doesn't like that monkey. And since he's fought both Luc /and/ Marisol before, he feels quite free to do whatever he wants! Which, in this case, is to swing his bokken in a wide, almost lazy arc, sending a red crescent of mingled blood and chi screaming through the air towards... Luc! Ha ha, fighting fair is for suckers! "DINNERTIME, MONKEY!"
Ah ha ha! That's the reaction she was looking for!
Scandals abound, Marisol looks positively delighted as she stands there, hands on her hips as she leans forward and grins toward the Gedo pair. What's best is Tenma's reaction; his face afire with embarrassment, the girl simply stands upright and lifts a hand to one side of her mouth, a soft ‘oh ho ho ho' laugh escaping her, quite audibly, at that!
"What's wrong, Tenma?" she asks, lifting a finger to point at him before she tilts her head. "Can't you man up to your actions? Did you think you'd get away with it? And, for the record?" Pausing, the girl turns to face the nearest camera, even as Luc attacks Hakuya. That doesn't seem to bother her. Instead, she battles on the psychological level.
A silence falls over her, her expression almost grave. Staring dead into the camera, the girl stares into the eyes of her unseen audience, lips pulled across her soft face into a thin line. Even the camera man behind the lens seems baffled.
"Tenma Kiryuu is... He is..." Pausing, she looks aside, almost shamed. Why, she even bites a knuckle, her other hand resting flat against her face. It looks as if Marisol is struggling to find the courage to say what is to come next. Even as Tenma slings blood-red chi at her teammate, Marisol is not paying attention.
Suddenly, the girl lifts her gaze up, eyes gazing into the camera, her courage seized before she yells, for everyone to hear:
"Tenma Kiryuu is utterly incompetent at groping a woman's chest!"

Man, what kind of terrible, idiotic crap is going on here? Even only halfway paying attention, Luc seems to hear enough to cause him to mutter in annoyance about his half-Spanish partner; his irritation is enough to cause him to completely ignore the rest of his strike and the fact that Hakuya seems to deftly put up a defense against it. It's enough to make him, upon landing, turn AWAY from his opponent... and stare directly at Marisol. Luc's left hand falls back into his pocket, and the young German delivers a very decidedly annoyed look to his partner.
"... what the hell... are you doing?" He begins. Green eyes seem to be completely focused on her; ignoring the fact that both Hakuya AND Tenma are coming at him, Luc instead seems that it's more fitting at this moment to focus every bit of his attention on Marisol. "This isn't one of your stupid, worthless little gossip sessions with your girlfriends, got it? This..."
Hakuya steps forward, swinging in a circular rotation with his leg. Before he can even land the hit, though, Tenma's bloody arc of chi slices through the air. Luc doesn't even move. He's in mid-sentence by the time that crescent slice of power strikes him, creating an explosion of red power and dust that encompases Luc. Hakuya swings, he strikes /something/, and through the haze of dust and debris--
--A single hand juts out, right in front of Hakuya's face.
"THIS IS A GODDAMN FIGHT!!" Snap.
One snap of those fingers, and a sudden BURST of power is ushered forth from Luc's grasp, a burning sphere of black and blue chi launching forward and striking Hakuya at point blank range before exploding rather messily, to knock the Gedo boy far and away. It seems Marisol's words have inspired enough annoyance and rage inside Luc to get him really pumped up... if the snarl on his lips is any indication.
"So START FIGHTING, you girly retard!!"
Maybe he was distracted by Marisol's comment - it certainly was a shocking one. Or maybe he just wasn't expecting Luc to just stand there and take the attacks before dishing out his own. Whatever the case, before he can even get his leg sweep off, there's a nice chi explosion ready for his face, and it comes probably at the worst possible time, when his body was moving to crouch down for the second attack. It makes him utterly off-balance, and in addition to it hurting his facemeats, it also knocks the poor Suigetsu heir off his feet, hitting the ground behind him and then tumbling backwards a few times, over and over.
But, not to be deterred, he rolls with the momentum and kips himself back up to his feet, pushing off the ground with a scuff of his sneakers, and charging back into the fray. Rushing straight for Luc, he makes his own attack, by trying to punch him straight in the face! - And feinting the attack, the open palm strike stopping just short of the German teen's face. This is in hopes he can sneak his foot around Luc's legs to get that leg sweep in, kicking at the back of the rival opponent's knees and pushing with an elbow strike to the shoulder, throwing him to the ground.
Now, normally right about now Tenma would have some sort of yelly remark to make at Luc, or he'd do something about his teammate getting blown up a little bit by the black chi-tossing German, but he's a little preoccupied. Why, you might ask? Because of Marisol. Marisol who is saying horribly embarassing things about him on live television in front of what might as well be the entire world. For a moment, he hunkers down on the roof even, bracing himself with his bokken. Congratulations, Marisol. You went further than he would've imagined.
"You..." Tenma grits out, lips drawing back from his teeth in a snarl. "...SHUT UP YOU FLAT-CHESTED, UGLY HAG!!" he finally yells, running in that low crouch directly at Marisol and taking a twisting step when he gets close enough to her, throwing himself into the air with a whirling strike of his chi-charged bokken, aiming to take the Pacific girl up with him and then knock her away. CONGRATULATIONS MARISOL, NOW HE HATES YOU AS MUCH AS HE DOES LUC.

There's a sort of hushed silence that falls upon the rooftop for the briefest, most fleeting of moments when Marisol yells, her expression stern as she stares into that camera lens. The sentence itself echoes through the rooftop, causing even the people on the ground below to pause, stare at one another before they start to whisper animatedly to one another. Oh my, the Gedo boys are a bunch of pervert delinquent! Or at least Tenma Kiryuu is.
When the damage is done, Marisol slowly turns on her white, flat-soled heels, long red locks bobbing behind her head as she faces the three men before her. And yes, she is grinning like mad, proud of herself. Sadly, it seems the only person who isn't phased by the remark is Hakuya, who continues on with business as usual. Luc? Marisol turns her attention toward her teammate briefly, giving him a stern-eyed glare. The sort of stare that says "screw you, I'm plotting here."
Then, those smoky eyes slide back onto Tenma, lips pulled into a wide, toothy smirk on her tanned face. "What's wrong, Tenma," she chimes softly, lifting a finger to idly poke herself in the lips. "Cat got your tongue?"
Clearly not. With a harsh and booming bellow, Tenma shouts out before he comes charging at her. This piques her interest and, with a sudden jerk of moment herself she too moves forward. "YEAH? TELL IT TO SOMEONE WHO CARES, YOU SUBPAR PERVERT!" those heels plant suddenly as he crouches and the moment that bokken begns to whirl up along with him--
-- Marisol kicks him in the jaw. It's meant to stun, see. Because swiftly thereafter she punches him swiftly twice in the chest before the last hooks him harshly across the jaw, an explosion of that dandelion-yellow energy erupting and sending him flying to one side, away.

It seems Luc's already been worked into a frenzy today. First, he's foirced to wear a stupid uniform that makes him feel like some kind of loser (and he really doesn't know how Marisol managed to make him do it, either, which just makes him even madder). And second, people seem more intent on carrying on their little soap opera dramas than actually fight, which just pisses off the German even more. So much so, in fact, that as Hakuya goes tumbling backwards, Luc is still fuming; head bowed, eyes overshadowed, and an unpleasant expression twitching across his lips at a slow, steady pace.
It's only when Marisol actually makes her own move against Tenma that Luc shifts his gaze, looking up towards the Spaniard as she combo strikes the Gedo boy. Almost lazily do green eyes shift, looking towards Hakuya as he runs. His right brow arches high, a thoughtful frown crossing his lips. And then? Luc smiles. "... heh." That punch comes, and what does Luc do?
He rshes right INTO it.
What was initially only meant to be a faint strikes Luc cleanly in the face, the full force of the swing knocking the German's head to the side. However, it also preemptively stops the rest of the attack that Luc predicted would come. In one, fluid motion, he stops it all, leaping up straight vertical into the air as he clips Hakuya in the chin with a single, shiny shoe. Black chi spirals around that foot, before with a distinct -FWOOSH- sound, that power erupts in a miniature, explosive tidal wave to engulf Hakuya moments after the physical blow is dealt. "DON'T COME AT ME WITH THAT WEAK CRAP! GRAAAAH!!"
And... Hakuya is simply Hakuya. He doesn't really understand what's going on, with Marisol saying the things she does, and how Tenma is suddenly... er... very, very angry. It all goes over the poor Suigetsu heir's head, it would seem, since he doesn't pay any attention to it, much like Luc. Though unlike Luc he isn't pissed off by it. And even if he were somehow distracted by it, he's somewhat more distracted by the fight with Luc, who he's never -actually- gone into combat with (the stint two weeks ago was not a real fight, really...). And, he's finding that the German teen is a little tough - he's even more durable than Tenma, though has an oddly similar, somewhat, defensive style.
So, even though his strike meant as a feint is turned into a real hit, he's not really ready to deal with what comes next: his foot missing the now airborne Luc, and then a shoe accompanied by chi being introduced to his face. Rather than flying back at this attack, he's a little more prepared to keep his feet, and goes skidding back over the roof, the rubber of his sneakers squealing as he grinds backwards a few feet. Blowing through the black chi, Hakuya pushes himself forward again, and with a somewhat more serious look on his face, teeth grit, and a cry of 'Haaaah!' the Suigetsu heir aims to punch Luc, right in the gut. Then, ducking under the boy's arm, he'll grab it as he passes, twists, and then with a stiff punch to the twisted arm joint and another leg sweep, he'll attempt to push Luc right into the floor again.
Hey, that's not supposed to happen! Tenma gets battered around quite surprisingly by Marisol, ending up crashing onto the roof again some distance away. That was a new one for him, really... He never saw anything of the sort from Marisol the last time they fought. "Mmmph," he grunts, hopping spryly back onto his feet. "That was crap!" he calls out to taunt Marisol. "You've got almost as little talent for fighting as you do in your shirt!" One day, someone's going to point out how alike Tenma and Marisol are, and on that day the two might team up for the first and only time... To totally kill that person in the face. But in the meantime?
Tenma rushes foward, right at Luc again, but this time he's just feinting - it's pure distraction, hoping to create an opening for Hakuya's attack to get through, and of course, to compliment the distraction... He keeps talking, right at the German. "What do you think, monkey? Does your teammate stuff her bra? How 'bout her hair, that's probably fake too, huh? Bet she's some dreary, mousy-haired girl most of the time, must be why she's such a gigantic bitch!"

Even after the final, chi-explosive fist is swung, Marisol doesn't move; instead, the fiery redheaded half-Spaniard holds the pose for a moment, gray eyes watching as Tenma sails...and inevitably lands in a heap. A little part of her feels satisfied with the results of that particularly risky endeavor she took. Only then the girl withdraws from the stance, easing into her typical stance, arms elevated, fists curled tightly near her jaw. A broad grin is plastered quite cleanly and clearly across her face.
"Funny you say that after grabbing a handful a few days ago!" she barks back at him, eyes widening a bit as the corners of her mouth twitch, the smirk daring to grow. "In fact, you didn't seem to complain! What's your fixation with my chest, anyway!?" It's almost a serious question, despite the grin still on her face.
It really is scary how alike the two team leaders are. Maybe that's why they don't get along?
In any case, Tenma keeps flapping his gums, and the girl just stares. Oh he is not asking that. .. "HEY!" she yells, thrusting a finger at Tenma, "What the hell makes you think he'd know something personal like that? And for the record, they're real, and so is my hair color. You know what? If you're so interested in me..." Charging forward, Marisol makes a beeline right for Tenma, just before she suddenly swings a foot up from her side, to dig the toe of her nice, white flat-soled pump into his ribs, a little harshly.
"Maybe you should PAY ATTENTION TO ME!?"

First Hakuya, and now Tenma again. Luc can deal with the strange, silent, be-hoodied boy easily enough. He doesn't care so much about Hakuya; in the end, he's just an interesting person to fight, and that about sums up Schroedinger's feelings about it. But Tenma? As the toy-sword wielding morong comes rushing in to try and distract Luc, the black-haired German whirls around, to face the Gedo team 'leader.' For all intents and purposes, it seems that Luc has fallen for the distracting trap --
--At least, until he swings his arm forward and stops Hakuya's assault cold by simply PUNCHING the other boy's swinging fist with enough force to stop his momentum. It stings, but Luc is barely even paying attention to /that./ Instead?
Instead, he focuses himself entirely on Tenma and his words, eyes narrowing. "... what are you talking about? Why..." He could defend Marisol, and say they're real. Instead, Luc cocks his right fist back just as Marisol charges forward--
"... WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT SUCH USELESS CRAP, YOU HOBO?!"
And with that Luc aims to simply slug the other man, carrying his weight into the thrust and accompanying it with a single lance of burning black chi to explode in Tenma's face.
It's a little annoying when you're basically ignored! Though a little understandable, as well, given the fact that while Hakuya is an 'interesting person to fight,' both Marisol and Luc hate Tenma. And he hates them back. It's a beautiful thing, this love. Anyway, his attack gets stopped in an unorthodox matter, by his hands getting punched. This leaves the Suigetsu heir blinking after the chargining Luc. He'll have to remember that one for the future. But even so, he's not going to settle back, like he did during the fight with Hideo - this isn't some teacher they're beating up on, it's his friend. And with that in mind, the be-hoodied young man charges forward after Luc. Reaching the man's back, he'll attempt to clothesline the German teen, and sweep him up off his feet if the hit connects. Hakuya's forward momentum will then stop as he transfers everything into pulling Luc in a circle, dragging him in a 180, until he comes about and then is totally thrown into the ground.

Marisol 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\1 Tenma
As usual, Luc's yelling rolls off of Tenma's back like the cliche about ducks and water. The punch, however, is a bit more of a concern. Nevertheless, the Gedo swordsman just stands his ground, letting the punch smash into the side of his head, with Luc's physical strength and powerful chi behind it, knocking him to one side... Just as Marisol reaches him with her kick. Grinning wildly, Tenma actually lunges INTO the kick, grabbing Marisol by the front of her blouse - NOT IN A PERVERTED WAY, YOU JERKS - as her kick grazes along his side, and then he introduces her face to his forehead in a rather abrupt manner. "Don't flatter yourself!" he snipes, twisting and using Marisol's momentum and his own bokken to then trip her onto the roof, sliding the wooden blade under her upraised leg and letting her seat herself on the rooftop. "Buncha stuck-up, worthless trash, both of you!" Such a nice boy, Tenma is.
A double-attack, courtesy of Pacific Resistance! As Marisol kicks at Tenma, it would seem Luc takes it as his cue to make his attack too, a punch aimed straight for his head. There's the faintest twitch across the redhead's features as he just stands there and takes Luc's punch. Surely this doesn't bode well. But she pursues anyway, a leg snapping out for his ribs...
Grabbed rather abruptly, the half-Spaniard offers a surprised look before she begins to shout, "STOP GRABBING MY BO--!!" Smacked in the forehead, the girl is sent stumbling back a few steps, just before that bokken of Tenma's decides to invade her personal space with that toy sword of his. Though she is felled, there is a horribly offended and incredulous look haunting her face, even as she stares up at the Gedo boy.
Is she offended he called her trash?
"Di...did you just try to feel me up with your stupid sword?" For a moment, she continues to look angry. Slowly rising to her feet, the wind begins to pick up around her, catching the faintest bits of dirt and debris... She's focusing, and it all seems to be on her chi, evident by the motes of yellow that rise from the ground around her.
"I KNOW you just didn't try to feel me up with that stupid toy sword of yours." Or DID he?? Oh, to think the rumors which will be started! What will happen to Tenma's pride and reputation??

At this point, Luc isn't really trying to follow the conversation between Tenma and Marisol anymore. If they're flirting or something, so be it; instead, he focujses on the fight; at least, as much as he can. But it seems Tenma's assistance has a belated effect in distracting Luc; the young German puts all of his focus on the Gedo boy, even as Hakuya comes rushing in like a madman, intent to take Luc and sending him flying into the ground. Schroedinger realizes this a second too late, and fails to react in time; instead, just as he's jerking backwards, Hakuya manages to clothesline him solidly. "What the fu--grrk!!"
WHAM! Luc is sent flying down, only to be solidly grasped and rotated around in a sudden, circular thrust, feeling the world around him spin so rapidly it all becomes a blur of colors before he's propelled straight into the ground. He lands with a crash, bouncing once before he lands quite solidly on his feet, shaking his head and frowning. "... heh. You're pretty good, huh?" That's good. Luc's prospects have begun to look up.
Instead of attacking, Luc opts to simply stand, roll his head, and begin scratching his ear once more in an idle gesture. "Oi, hobo! I dunno what you're talking about, but her breasts seem pretty big and real to me." It's said nonchalantly; apparently, Luc can talk about this stuff easily whenever he wants to, but it's worthless crap whenever anyone else does. He's taking a break, it's allowed.
"Stupid girls and stupid, girly hobos..." Luc mutters out in annoyance, adjusting his tie and, more imporantly, catching his breath. "Hnn."

The throw made, Hakuya's feet are already in motion, dancing backwards over the rooftop to put some distance between himself and Luc. Even if there's no intention to lash out from a prone position, it does happen a lot, and the grappler is all too aware of it. People tend to get pissed when you throw them to the ground. Hence, even if there's no immediate reprisal, he still backs off out of simple habit. Keeping his guard up, he merely is treated to watching Luc get back up and then... cast both a compliment to him, and a compliment(?) to Marisol. Blinking a bit in his usual bewildered expression, the black-haired boy turns his head towards Marisol after Luc makes his comment, and looks at the redhead. Then, after a moment, he smiles easily and says, "Tenma is just trying to get under your skin; you look fine and 'real' to me." The way he says it is completely matter-of-factly, and almost as nonchalantly as Luc. It's just suspect whether or not he knows what 'real' is supposed to mean, in this context.
Even so, he then turns his attention back to Luc, since the grappler was technically his opponent in this match... even if, also technically, there were no 'real' opponents. He could attack Marisol if he wished. But being the guy he is, he figures that unfair. So instead, he focuses on Luc, and gives him the moment he needs to be able to breathe, adapting his fighting stance once more, then motioning the German teen on in a 'attack me' gesture.

Marisol 1/----===/=======|=======\-------\1 Tenma
Of course Tenma is trying to get under her skin! That's the whole point of talking trash, you don't need to explain it to her! "Tch... Don't get your hopes up," he replies to Marsiol, sensing the buildup of chi around her as much as he sees it. When Hakuya goes and points out to Mariol what he's doing, the swordsman huffs an irritated breath. "Dammit, Hakuya! Stop makin' nice with her, she's the enemy!!" Honestly, sometimes Tenma really wonders about where his teammate's brain is at!
But there's no time to just stand around, now; the Gedo students really don't have the advantage right now, and it's not going to be easy to try and recover it. He'd never admit it aloud, but Kiryuu knows full well that Marisol and Luc are both dangerous opponents. So, he starts rushing... Right at Luc. Getting in close, he actually aims to run /up/ the German, before coming down with a vicious two-handed sweep of his chi-charged bokken at the back of the Pacific student's head, intending to land behind him afterwards. Yeah, he's trying to show off. Shut up!
When did this SNF suddenly become entirely about Marisol's chest? Not that it distracts her any; instead, the redhead focuses on her energy, letting that surge of chi flow through her, slender hands curled into tight fists at her side. There's a bit of annoyance lingering on her face as Luc pipes up, just before the girl whips her head to one side and barks, "Yeah, thanks! I know where you've been lookin' now!" How rude! As for Hakuya? Well, the girl looks mildly stunned before she scoffs softly and puckers her lips, brows knit tightly. She says nothing, though. At least HE'S one of the few redeeming factors of Tenma's team.
But there's a fight to be had, and it's clear that Tenma is impatient to get back into the game. Her smoky eyes flicker aside, toward Tenma before she scowls, lips pulling over her pearly whites as she bellows, "Maybe you should get some manner lessons from your friend, huh?! At least HE'S smart!" Then he's charging for Luc. It draws a frown across her face before she simply scoffs again and keeps an eye on the fight.

Apparently Tenma is rabidly against people taking breaks. Of course.... 'taking breaks' doesn't mean 'completely not paying attention to the fight.' So, as Tenma comes rushing in like some kind of psychopathic freak, Luc's green gaze almost lazily shifts upwards to greet him. "... what are you trying to do, attack me in slow-motion?" Because in the end, that's what it seems like; Tenma comes rushing in, and yet Luc can see it coming from a mile away. So, as Tenma seeks to run /up/ him, Luc takes a step backwards, legs bracing before he launches both of his arms /upward/ to intercept and absorb the brunt of the attack. That isn't to say it doesn't /hurt/ still. The attack is slow, but it's powerful, and the force alone would be enough to send Luc staggering... if he wasn't already using it to leap backwards and away. Running away?
Not exactly. Instead, the German soars effortlessly through the air, landing just behind Marisol. "You wish, you moron." He mutters in response to the girl's indignant words, rubbing the back of his head. "What the hell are you doing standing around here, man-girl? How about you try..." Luc's hands slip into his pockets. One shiney shoe lifts up, bending at the knee. And in one, inglorious act...
... Luc boots Marisol in the ass, straight towards Tenma.
"... FIGHTING A LITTLE?!"

Marisol 1/----===/=======|=======\=------\1 Tenma
Complimented on one side, chewed out on the other. Poor Hakuya. His eyes going off Luc for a moment, he looks over at Tenma, blinking in his usual bewildered way. He's about to say something in his defense, too, but that gets pushed aside in favor of not distracting Tenma as the swordsman attacks Luc, which... doesn't end extremely well anyway! A little confused as to what to do, the Suigetsu heir just blinks a few times, watching as Luc then, after blocking Tenma's attack, goes on to kick Marisol forward. Such an action might be frowned on by Hakuya, but if so, he doesn't show it - instead, he simply goes after Luc again, not because he did something so 'rude', but... because the young man was his opponent! Yeah, that's right. He'd already fought Marisol anyway! So, he moves to close the distance with the other fighter, aiming to strike him, first low in the knee, then rising swiftly for an uppercutting palm strike. Another two attacks follow that shortly thereafter, a double-palm strike to the chest, and finally a shoulder rush to push Luc back and away.
"Heh," Tenma laughs a bit as he twists in the air to land properly behind Luc, who... Has taken off to go work with his teammate? How bizarre! That leaves the swordsman with little to do as Marisol is apparently booted his way, and Hakuya goes to keep the pressure on the German. Sweeping his bokken once through the air, Tenma lets out a faint huff of annoyance before he actually lunges forward /into/ Marisol's presumed path courtesy of her good buddy Luc, aiming to thrust the tip of his weapon into the nearest uncomfortable part of the redhead he can. Which sounds like some kind of double entendre, but really he's just trying to put the hurt on her!

Clearly Luc is a hypocrite.
Even if Tenma won't give him a break, it doesn't seem to help the fact that he's taking his frustrations out on his teammate a moment later. Landing behind her, the girl tips her head lightly, catching an ear of what he says before she scoffs. "Not really," she retorts, "you should be more concerned about the fight, not a girl's chest." The latter, however, causes her to blink before she begins to shift her weight. She WAS going to turn around and yell at him but he's suddenly punting her toward Tenma.
Stumbling toward him, the girl simply lifts an arm up and smacks it against the stretch of Tenma's toy sword. The other hand, however, is coming up and toward him, to smack him with a vicious punch across the face...

The punch lands, a sound crack echoing between the redhead and bokken-wielding Gedoite. But it doesn't end there; hardly! Another punch comes, a swift hook across his face, followed by another - three, in fact. A hand moves swiftly after, however, the heel of her palm driving quite harshly against Tenma's jaw before she kneels and springs up, executing a flashy backflip, letting the toe of her flat-soled pump crash into his jaw and launch him into the air. A grin crosses her lips.
Landing in another crouch, the girl follows him into the air with a jump, her arm engulfed in yellowy flames as she drives a hard fist straight into his stomach. Insult to injury!!
Apparently Luc is a hypocrite, but a hypocrite who helpfully sets Marisol up perfectly to deliver pain upon Tenma. So really, he's only looking out for her own self-interests. Though Hakuya may have been his target at the beginning, though, this is still a two versus two, not two simultaneous duels. For now, Luc's attention as clearly made an obvious shift from Hakuya... straight to Tenma. Eyes narrowing unpleasantly, the young man's head jerks straight upwards as Marisol knocks the Gedoite into the air and proceeds to knock the ever-loving crap out of him. A distinct frown crosses his lips -- just about when Hakuya comes rushing in. And suddenly, Luc gets an idea.
Instead of attempting to block or move out of the way of Hakuya's assault, the young man does something entirely different; he stands absolutely still and takes the full brunt of it. The knee strike unbalances the German, causing him to stagger... only to be followed by an uppercut that nearly knocks him airborne. Fortunately it doesn't quite yet, because Hakuya still has more. The double-palm strike, and finally, the shoulder rush all hit cleanly, but on that last hit? There is a distinct amount of give in Luc's body as it strikes, sending the Pacific High student propelling straight /backwards/... right about where Tenma soars through the air.
Luc flips once, landing in a crouch. And then? He just jumps, straight vertical into the air, attempting to catch Tenma with a sudden, jumping kick to the spine to continue to juggle him right after Marisol is done with him. This is followed by another, and another, until the count comes up to about six before Schroedinger simply SPINS with unbelievable speed... intent on SMASHING his foot in an overhead axe-kick into Tenma's gut, followed by a bujrsting black lance of chi that EXPLODES from his shoe-clad foot, intent on beaming downwards and sending Tenma rocketing with such force that he'll likely puncture a hole in the roof if it all lands cleanly. And if not? The blast will still blow a huge hole in the roof.
So everyone wins in the end.
This battle is indeed not a match of simultaneous duels, but Hakuya sure seems intent on making it into one! Or, well, maybe he's just more eager to fight Luc, because he hasn't really had a chance to. Or maybe he's avoiding Marisol, because of her being a total bitch last time they met? Who knows. In any case, he seems real intent on keeping that pressure on Luc... even though the young man seems intent on not caring about said pressure, as evident when the German teen jumps past him in order to begin attacking Tenma again. Seeing the attack - and, also, as he turns around, noticing that Tenma is, in fact, just recovering - though maybe not in time?! - from Marisol's own attack, Hakuya can think of only one thing to do.
"LUC'S PENIS IS TINY!" The Suigetsu heir blurts out, totally unsure of what the hell it is he's doing, but hopefully that'll give enough of a 'wtf' moment to make Luc pause... even just for a second, so Hakuya can charge in, harrying the German boy's flank and running a kind of distraction, both physical and psychological, all in an effort to help Tenma escape CERTAIN DEATH. And yes, he does seem entirely uncomfortable with insulting someone else, particularly in such a manner... but hey, they were talking about Marisol's boobs earlier, why not Luc's penis, now?

This attack is a new one by Tenma, and while most people would probably react to that somewhat conservatively, the Kiryuu boy would rather see just what it's made of... So he steps right into the blast, much to his detriment. Who knows, maybe Hakuya's inappropriate comment screwed him up; the point is, Tenma gets well and surely wrecked, getting spiked down and crashing through the roof, which hurts, and he's just about done by this point... So what's a guy to do?
Just WHAT he does isn't entirely clear, but suddenly small cracks appear along the rooftop, widening suddenly as gouts of blood explode out of them, long lines snaking their way around to lash out at anything and anyone in their path. If he were up on the roof still, he could guide them to avoid Hakuya, but as it is? Well, the other Gedo student kinda deserves it for talking about another dude's junk.
Meanwhile, whatever happens, Tenma is out cold in a classroom or the hall on the floor below. WAY TO GO, LUC.

As Luc leaps into action, Marisol makes quick to suddenly duck and roll out of harm's way. Rolling backwards, she presses off her back and leaps to her feet, landing in a slight crouch before she stands upright and.. .keeps an eye on the goings-on below. Tilting her head slightly, the girl watches as Tenma is drilled through the rooftop itself, vanishing from sight. Tossing her head, the girl folds her arms. "Good riddance," she all but spits.
But, what's this? A soft rumbling causes the girl to blink slowly, eyes flickering toward the ground at her feet. Tilting her head, she watches closely. ..before the hole explodes with blood, lancing around the rooftop every which way. Try as she might to avoid it, the girl is struck, causing her to cry out in surprise and horror, her eyes wide. "That...That's DISGUSTING!!" she squeals, taking a moment to crouch and catch her breath.
Then? She shakes her head and collects her wits about her. "Jerk," she spits, before she sprints forward, at Hakuya, to punch him twice across the face before she crouches and lunges at him with both fists, aimed for his chest. Oh, and a burst of yellow chi!

The world pauses for a brief moment. Luc, still airborne, hears one, single thing.
"LUC'S PENIS IS TINY!"
"..."
His right eyebrow twitches.
"/WHAT./"
BAM! Just like that, Luc snaps. That final axe-kick is delivered with an unbelievable amount of fury and rage behind it, making it strike even HARDER than it normally would. Tenma goes soaring down like a little ragdoll, crashing through the roof with the deafening boom of an explosion. At this point, Luc isn't even paying attention to that. Tenma has been largely forgotten -- a hard thing to do, considering just how very much the Schroedinger heir hates Tenma (he's Luc's #1 hated person on a long, long list of people). All because of one awkward, somewhat dimwitted statement. Luc lands in a crouch, just at the edge of the hole. He pays no heed to the sudden sprouting of glowing, crimson spider-web lines throughout the entirety of the roof. Instead...
Luc levels his stare entirely on Hakuya.
Black chi flares up around Luc the moment that Tenma's bloody gouts of chi explode from all around them. His legs stiffen, and through the haze of red... he holds up a single hand. "What... what..." A small lance of black and blue, swirling power manifests itself in Luc's hand.
"... WHAT THE /HELL/ ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MY PENIS FOR?!"
The blood burns across Luc's body, but he pays it little mind. Instead, even through the sudden flurry of motion from Tenma, he THRUSTS his hand straight /down/, that lance impacting the ground... and being absorbed into it. Silence. Until suddenly, just as Marisol strikes Hakuya -- a GIGANTIC lance of black chi simply EXPLODES from the ground beneath Hakuya's feet in a rain of rubble and power, intent on striking Hakuya explosively with enough force to, hopefully, just knock him straight off the damn roof.
"DIE!!!"

And, despite his help, Tenma gets totally wrecked by Luc's attack. Tenma gets hit, and then goes straight down, crashing through the roof of the Taiyo building. But that's not the last to hear of his team mate! Oh no, for even as Tenma falls, he's launching an attack... one that even Hakuya gets caught up in! The blood spikes everywhere, and the Suigetsu heir is at least fast enough to get his arms up in time so that the lashing only impacts against his arms, tearing up the arm wraps he wears, revealing just some of the scars and burn marks his arms hold. Even after it subsides, he's not too sure the danger is over yet... and he's right, as the other two fighters come straight for him! Marisol's attack receives much the same treatment as before, his arms coming up to deflect the dual punches as well as the yellow burst of chi. The last move, however, isn't one Hakuya can block against, seeing as it's coming from below. So what does he do?
He simply takes it. The blue-black chi erupts around him, causing more collateral damage, not to mention damage to Hakuya himself. Lashed with the chi and various pieces of debris, Hakuya still rushes forward out of the blast zone, intending on striking his target while he's still got an advantage. He WAS in a fight, after all, even if taking all three of those attacks was not a very pleasant experience. Rushing for Marisol, he strikes out at her, twice, once to the face, and once to the stomach... but once more, they seem to be feints, intent on distracting the redhead from the sweeping leg that comes up to swipe at the Pacific Resistance leader's legs, throwing her to the floor.

Defended against, again. Not to be upset by this, Marisol simply recoils and withdraws, hopping back a few steps, away from Hakuya. It's just them now. Her and the weird guy in a hoodie who has the worst insults ever. Really, insulting Luc's dong? That's just nasty!
Grinning broadly, the girl rolls her head on her neck and lifts a hand up, clenching it into a fist. "You did pretty good there, still standin' after being hit by three people," she states, almost complimenting the young Gedo man. "I'm impressed, really. You're not so bad. And you're a lot more tolerable than your buddy Tenma. At least you keep quite most of the time." Sparing a glance over her shoulder, she eyes the hole through which his teammate fell before she snorts.
"Dork."
Then she looks back. Focusing on the young man, Marisol squares her shoulders as Hakuya charges forward and, the moment he feints she's caught on - in fact, she grabs him by the wrist and lashes her hand out, a sphere of yellow erupting around him. Cocooned inside, the chi spikes inwardly, piercing him every which way before it explodes in a flurry of chi butterflies!
It should be understandable, in Hakuya's case. He doesn't really have a lot of practice insulting people, and he had to use what he had on hand, since thinking up something himself likely would've taken a few days. Like those cartoons where a person sits still and thinks hard, all the while the sky brightens and darkens with morning/night. Even so, insults aside, he was no doubt a tough guy, because he had just taken what would've putten most fighters out. He just... needed to work on the insults. And likely his footing after taking all those attacks, because his own maneuver is interrupted most handily by the sphere of chi that spikes inwards, his leg sweep might as well having not been attempted at all.
Staggering back a bit as the sphere explodes, the young man looks quite worse for wear, and he doesn't look all that energetic, besides, panting heavily with the effort he had to expend in the last few minutes. No doubt he's pretty weary. Standing still for a moment, he looks serious for just a moment, before breaking into another of those easy smiles, "You should give him a chance. He only acts the way he does because of how you act around him." From what he could see, they were a LOT alike, too... but that part is kept silent. Either way, the break taken, he's charging in again. They've got a fight to finish, after all! As he closes the distance, he leaps up in order to attempt a jumping kick to the woman's middle, pushing off her torso as it happens in order to somersault over her, grabbing her as she passes, and then pulling her up and over himself as he lands, in order to spike her back into the ground.

Marisol 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0 Hakuya
The fact he's STILL standing after even that is a testament to his will. Tilting her head as he recovers and stands up, Marisol offers a slight frown before she narrows her eyes, focusing on the young man before her. "Why should I bother?" she counter-argues, just before she lifts her chin high and smirks. "He's a punk with nothing better to do than swing a toy sword and blood around in front of him. If you ask ME I bet he's compensating!" Lifting her arms, the girl folds them across her chest.
Soon after, however, the girl looks up in time, to catch him charging at her with a kick to her gut. Sliding a foot out behind her, Marisol braces herself for the attack. It causes her to grunt, but just as he leaps over she turns to face him and swat his hands away. "No!" she cries. "Not today!" This is punctuated with a sudden right hook at his jaw.
COMBATSYS: Marisol successfully hits Hakuya with Medium Punch.

Marisol 0/-------/=======|=======\=------\1 Hakuya
Hey, wasn't -that- a penis joke? But either way, Hakuya's not intent on offering any more advice to the girl. After all, they were rivals for a reason, right? Luc and Marisol hated Tenma, and he hated them back. And, uh, he was an oddity. A nice guy, to be sure, so it was hard to hate him, and he hated no one. Also, besides the fact that it would be useless to offer any more advice to the girl, she's now punching him, after his attack gets blocked! Rather than doing what he usually does, he does the foolish thing, and tries not to get hit... but to no avail. He's really used to taking or going through attacks, not avoiding them. In any case, as the hook connects solidly with his jaw, he grunts with pain and staggers backwards a bit, panting. It's obvious that this is the last of his strength... and so, it comes. Stepping forward, he lashes out with his hands, a flurry of eight strikes all being dealt two at a time. He punches for her shoulder and face, her other shoulder and her knee, her other knee and her stomach, and then finally a dual-palm thrust to her stomach, all punches meant to be swift and strong... but coming out a bit sluggish. Either way, he's done!
COMBATSYS: Hakuya can no longer fight.

Maybe it was!? But Marisol isn't precisely a nice girl. Besides, Tenma has brought this all upon himself, you see. He shouldn't have made jokes about her chest! Worst of all, even his teammate had the nerve to disagree with him. So, in all, Tenma likely wins no moral victory here, and that is just fine with Marisol O'Connell.
Whatever her thoughts may be, they're otherwise forgotten as she staves off Hakuya's attack, gritting her teeth slightly before she swings a fist straight for his face. Somehow, it hits, causing the poor guy to stagger back - and give her much-needed space. Breathing heavily, the girl looks like she's very nearly on her last leg, much like Hakuya. It's down to this moment, and it all depends on her now.
Like hell she's going to let her team down!
Let Hakuya come - Marisol weaves aside, avoiding the flurry of punches altogether, twisting her body before she hops back, giving herself some distance, just in case he comes at her again. Fortunately for Marisol, he doesn't. The victor here, the girl turns to the SNF officials before she nods her head and offers a confident smirk. Yeah.
That's when she walks to the hole in Taiyo's roof, bends forward a the waist and points a finger down into it. "THAT'S for the blood on my clothes, you weirdo!" she cries. Take that, Tenma Kiryuu! Pivoting on her heel thereafter, she meanders to her teammate nearby before she crouches and tries to scoop him up off the ground, supporting one of his arms over the length of her shoulders. "C'mon, freak," she mumbles, supporting his weight around the waist with an arm.
She pauses, however, casting a glance toward Hakuya. For a moment she offers a stern look...before she smirks and cockily remarks, "You did good, but that was not your best." And, with that, the two Pacific High students leave the roof with SNF officials hot on their heels, waving paperwork and all that official post-fight junk!
COMBATSYS: Marisol takes no action.

Marisol 0/-------/=======|
COMBATSYS: Marisol has ended the fight here.
And as he's supported and walked off, Luc Schroedinger mutters grumbles out a single, slurred statement:
"... muh penis... jush fine... kill you..."
THE END.
Marisol drops Luc and walks off without him.
