Description: Fate? Luck? Skill? A Neo League challenge taking place in downtown Tokyo between a Shotokan fighter, and the punk rock princess. But who will prevail in this match when the diva is limiting herself in her attacks? (Winner: Arika)
Japan is known for its unique culture in that a lot of old traditions can still be found even in this modern day and age. In many villages, you'll find that houses are made to look like the ones from the Feudal era, and that people dress in that very style. In some places you can even take martial arts lessons in an authentic dojo, taught by a true sensei. Learning under these traditions gives one a new insight into things in life, especially when training in the martial arts.
That's not to say, though, that all of Japan is done in a classical style. In fact, a lot of it still very modernized. In one part of downtown Tokyo, there is a large park where a crowd of people have gathered to watch a Neo League fight happening. Vendors sell refreshments and pass out fliers for information on the fight, while the onlookers stare at the unique ring in awe. It's made to resemble the flooring of an authentic dojo, making it seem a bit more traditional for the fight that will be taking place here.
One of those fighters is a master of Shotokan Karate, Katie Molina, or Katelynn as she is known on the fighting circuit. She is already inside of the ring, kneeling with her eyes closed in meditation as she prepares herself for the battle that is about to begin mentally. After that, she proceeds to begin warming up, getting her blood flowing and loosening herself up for the match that will be taking place shortly.
One way or another, Arika is going to become a world traveler. Since it seems to be taking a rather long time for her music to make it big overseas, it looks like it's her fighting career that's going to bring her to exotic new locations.
Not that downtown Tokyo can really be considered 'exotic' so much as 'metropolitan'.
From the looks of things, the punk rock princess is fashionably late. Truth be told, she's actually been here a while signing autographs for the few Femme Fatale fans that are in the crowd. When it looks like the officials are calling the fight to order, she bursts forth from the crowd to a chorus of cheer, and clambers up into the ring.
"... Fade. Now that both fighters have arrived.... FIGHT!"
Not as much of an opening as she would have hoped for, and no time to really play up to the crowd when the fight is announced like that. A brief nod is offered to her opponent, and then she's rushing in to close the distance. As she nears Katelynn, the diva's hand comes up in a swift jab intent smacking against her jaw. Following immediately after this is a palmheel strike directed at the other female's chest. Approximately an inch away from Katelynn, the left hand begins to glow with vestiges of bright violet energy.

A good warm up for both the body and the mind are always the key to winning a fight, since attacks alone aren't enough without the knowledge of how to use them. In addition, one has to know how to defend oneself against their opponent's attacks. Which is why Katelynn finds herself glad that she took the time to meditate before loosening up. Especially now that Katelynn's proved her readiness by parrying Arika's attack out of the way.
"Good effort for a starter," Katelynn says with a smirk as she watches her opponent become vulnerable for a split second because of the parry. And that split second is the key to getting the upper hand in the match. Which is why Katelynn almost immediately follows up with a swift kick aimed at the woman's stomach.

Ugh. So this opponent is one of those that likes a lot of idle banter during a fight? So not happening with Arika. While she's open and 'vulnerable' for all of a split second, she manages to stop the swift kick from actually making it to her stomach by quickly crossing her arms and slamming them down to catch the foot. After doing this she jumps back about a foot and shoots an icy glare at Katelynn.
Then her feet begin to move. Hopping back and forth, right foot, left foot, left foot, right foot. Just bopping them along to some rhythm only she can hear. This is all done in the span of seconds, before she pirouettes her body into a perfectly graceful circle and draws her right leg up vertically, before rotating it and snapping it toward Katelynn's ribs.

As the kick comes up towards Katelynn's ribs, her arms raise almost immediately to absorb the blow instead of letting it crack a rib or two. She's had that happen before and it's not a pleasant thing. Then again, who would find it pleasant? But let's focus on the fight, shall we?
Katelynn slides back a little, yet manages to keep her traction on the well cleaned surface. The fact that she's barefoot doesn't make it easy to keep her footing, but she's had worse than this happen to her. Which is why Katelynn doesn't hesitate in attempting to grab Arika and attempt to hook her right leg around Arika's left leg, all while grabbing her shoulders at the same time. If this comes off successfully, Katelynn will trip Arika's leg while pushing her backwards at the same time.

Not quite successful in what she has planned, Katelynn manages to sweep Arika's leg out from under her and causes the diva to stagger backward a few steps, but doesn't actually shove her out of the way. Pity, since it would seem that in not doing so it's likely screwed up whatever follow up move the other girl had in mind.
Arika doesn't let too much distance get between them either. As soon as she's sure of her footing again, she rushes forward forming a fist with her right hand. The fist is then twisted to the side as she tries to slam it into the soft tissue just below Katelynn's ribs, so that she can twist in her two largest knuckles.

Rather than attempt to defend against the attack, Katelynn simply tenses herself up and gets into the proper stance so that she can absorb the blow directly, which means that the punch still lands, and it does hurt a bit, but in doing so, Katelynn sets herself up for a better chance at a counter attack.
Almost immediately, Katelynn attempts to return the favor with a quick punch of her own, this one aimed at Arika's face.

Spying the fist coming for her face, Arika makes an attempt to get her arm up in order to block it. Unfortunately, timing is off and the blow hits her on the cheek, snapping her head to the side. A small trickle of blood can be seen on the corner of her mouth, and she quickly wipes it away. Deep blue eyes then narrow upon the assailant, and she glares.
Extending her right leg out toward Katelynn, she bends her knee and snaps her foot to the side in an attempt to impact the girl in the stomach with her heel in a rather simple hook kick.

There's one thing that's common about fighting events: There's always going to be, at the very least, a little blood spilled. If you're squeamish, don't watch. And don't worry, the fighters are tended to after the fights so they never really suffer any serious injuries. But enough medical talk. Back to the fight.
Katelynn avoids Arika's hard kick easily by stepping out of the way as it comes at her. A valiant effort, though. But now is not the time for contemplation. Katelynn quickly pulls her fist back as it glows with a bluish chi aura, and then launches the chi in the form of a bluish sphere the size of a beach ball at Arika.

A beach ball is fairly hard to dodge when you're not exactly expecting it, so the diva takes the full brunt of the energy and it actually knocks her back off her feet for a moment. Upon getting up and brushing herself off, Arika just gives Katelynn another dirty look.
So, what doe she do then? A moment to catch her breath and then she continues on with the fight. Lurching toward her opponent, she swings her fist upward in the hopes of catching Katelynn's jaw and knocking her back just a little.

As the fist comes towards Katelynn's jaw, she knocks it away with the greatest of ease. Looks like her parrying skills are rather up to par right now, since that's two attacks in this match she's parried thus far. But the match can still go either way.
As soon as the attack is parried, Katelynn is quick to attempt to grab Arika and administer a rather efficient throwing technique that should simply leave her on the ground rather quickly.

Too bad that the throwing technique doesn't actually get her to the ground. Instead, it sends Arika toward one of the turnbuckles of the ring, where she hits her back upon it. From there, the diva just stops for a moment to catch her breath. A slight look of irritation crosses her face, but again, nothing is said. She's not here to have a tea party with the girl, just fight.
COMBATSYS: Arika gains composure.

While Arika is busy catching her breath, Katelynn decides to take a breather of her own as well. Except this isn't to regain physical strength. Instead, it's to help clear her mind a little so she can be more ready for whatever comes at her next. She takes a few deep breaths and lowers her eyes, letting her mind clear out a little.

So what -is- coming next? Arika isn't letting on to that -just- yet. The diva begins to move around the ring, making a wide circle around the girl who seems to be focusing on what's going on. Then she waits for a moment, until she's facing Katelynn again.
As soon as she looks upon the face of her foe again, her right hand comes up in a quick jab, trying to snap Katelynn's head back up. Then her left hand, imbued once more with a violet energy slams forward in a palmheel strike toward the center of the girl's chest.

Again with that attack from the beginning of the round? Should be a piece of cake to dodge, right? Unfortunately, even the best laid plans can backfire, just ask Wile E. Coyote. Or Katelynn, as her focusing on her opponent doesn't do much for her when she tries to dodge the strike aimed at her chest. It hits home, and it knocks the wind out of her. She staggers backwards, gasping for air while holding onto one of the ropes separating the fighters from the outside.
"Damn it..." She barely manages to get out, still trying to regain her breath. When she does get it back, she looks at Arika and says, "OK, that's how you wanna play, huh?" And with that, she literally pivots forward on her front leg and then flies at the woman with her back leg now extended in front of her, the extended foot aimed at Arika's chest!

It would seem that yes, indeed, that is the way Arika wants to play. When the leg comes flying toward her, she simply drops back into a backsault. Shooting a glance back at her opponent, she doesn't even bother to smirk. Her expression is actually kind of bland with a slight hint of irritation still within it.
Springing back up to her feet after a second though, she immediately twirls herself up into a pirouette trying to position herself closer to her foe. Then she draws her leg up vertically, twists her body to the side slightly. This time, however, she angles her body in such a way that she's aiming for Katelynn's shoulders or head depending on how the girl is moving.

Arika 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\0 Katelynn
Was the kick going to hit Katelynn's head or shoulders? We won't know now, since just as Katelynn saw the attack coming at her, she quickly ducked down and utilized her Palm Blaster - A technique where she delivers a fierce palm strike powered with chi that hits Arika in the gut, which not only stops the attack but should also give her some breathing room for the time being. But she knows that Arika's not going to be too happy about that.
For starters, the punk rock princess does not have a 'gut'. A well toned stomach and abdomen, yes, but seeing as how she's not a beer guzzling swine, there is no gut upon her body. However! The strike does hit her in the stomach and send her back the promised few feet, allowing Katelynn a little bit of breathing room.
But the breathing room isn't given for -too- long. Arika just rushes back in with a simple straight punch toward Katelynn's face. This stops just short of hitting her though.
On purpose.
In the hopes of confusing the girl, Arika swings her left hand in a hammerfist punch toward the side of Katelynn's head concurrently with the missed straight punch.

Missed her! Katelynn steps out of the way of Arika's quick punch yet again. How does she do that? Is it the fact that she's quick on her feet or that reflexes are a girl's best friend in martial arts? Whatever it is, Katelynn manages to avoid the attack yet again.
And so Arika doesn't have a gut. So Katelynn chose the wrong choice of words. Hey, we all make mistakes, don't we? Well, Katelynn hopes that the strong kick she's got aimed at Arika's legs won't be a mistake.

Is it a mistake to send a kick toward Arika's legs? Not really. The diva barely has time to twist to the side and stop the attack from marring her shins. Instead, she takes the kick to the hips which, while not any more padded than her legs they help absorb the blow a little better than catching it right on the shin bone.
But now she's getting a little upset at the way things going and she pauses to take a deep breath. Then she's automatically in again with another punch. A chambered fist is thrust toward Katelynn from her hip area. The hip is rotated forward and the fist is sent in a snapping motion toward the girl's stomach.

This time, the punch is a bit too quick for Katelynn to avoid. She finds herself getting socked in the jaw and staggering backwards again. This time, she rubs at her jaw in pain, and then opens her mouth a little to find that she's bleeding as well. Well, that's the way it is sometimes.
Nonetheless, Katelynn takes a deep breath and blows it out, trying to take her mind off of the bleeding. After that, she brings her left leg up, aiming rather intently at striking Arika in the shoulders.

Wow. Katelynn moves quick for a girl who was supposed to be hit in the stomach. When the blow lands instead on the girl's jaw, Arika blinks and takes a step backward. It's -that- step backward that allows her to completely avoid the kick that's coming in toward her shoulders.
This, really doesn't set the diva up for any kind of attack. Another punch, maybe but Arika's been pushing her luck with those during this fight already. Nothing around for her to throw, really, so she's out of luck on -that- too. Furrowing her brow, she launches herself into a backward cartwheel, hoping to gain a little bit of distance between herself and Katelynn at the same time as launching a light snap kick toward her opponents jaw.

Arika 1/------=/=======|=======\===----\1 Katelynn
Looks like Katelynn's dentist will be doing a little extra work soon, since the foot hits her jaw and it hits square. Katelynn's head is snapped backwards a little, but her neck isn't too fazed as her jaw is. Her lower jaw feels like it could easily break if it's hit there again. And she can feel some more blood forming in her mouth. It's obvious this fight is really getting down to the wire and it's time to make things count.
Taking a deep breath, Katelynn focuses on both of her fists, which are glowing brightly with chi. The glow gets brighter and brighter untill she launches it in a larger than normal ball of chi. It's bigger than a beach ball, and it's heading right for Arika's chest.

Objects -larger- than a beach ball are quite easy to dodge.
Go figure.
When the energy begins to come toward her chest, Arika simply drops to the floor of the ring, and lays her body flat until it passes overhead. Taking a deep breath at the fact that she was able to move quickly enough to miss being thrown into the crowd by the lobbed ball of energy, she gives it just another second to ensure the glowing blue energy isn't boomeranging back at her.
Positive that it's gone, she clambers up to her feet once more and dusts herself off. Then she turns her back to Katelynn and for all intents and purposes it looks like she's just going to walk off.
But then!
Arika springs back around in a quick circle, sending her elbow backward toward Katelynn's gut (or stomach if you prefer semantics!).

This isn't exactly dodgeball, but it's a game where dodging is a very important skill to have. Not to mention seeing how her opponent is punching a lot, dodging punches is becoming more routine to Katelynn. But she's not yawning, namely because she's too injured to do something like that. But even the most injured fighter must never give up, no matter how tough it may seem.
So Katelynn drops to the ground and attempts to deliver a foot sweep towards Arika. However, just before her foot connects, it stops, and Katelynn quickly pivots on the extended foot while attempting to sweep Arika off her feet with the other leg!

Okay, that... actually hurt a lot more than it probably should have. Likely due to the way Arika falls directly onto her wrist and a small cracking noise can be heard. But she refuses to cry out in pain. Instead, she winces and slowly gets back up to her feet. Time to worry about the wrist later, for now - sprained, broken, or not - she's going to press on.
And press on she does! Rushing to set herself in behind Katelynn, she tries to reach under her right arm and lock it up while pulling it behind the girl's neck trying to lock her up in a half-nelson hold.

Once the half-nelson hold is secured, Arika closes her eyes. That wrist bloody well hurts but she's got to go through with this anyhow. It's the only thing she -can- do at this point, really. With her hands locked round Katelynn's neck, she hoists the girl up into the air. From here, she slowly begins to spin around the ring, showing the move off to all the spectators and the cameras. As she moves the spinning becomes increasingly rapid, until she's got Katelynn up at the highest point she can manage.
Then the spinning stops abruptly.
Having stopped, Arika just slams Katelynn down to the floor of the ring using the full force of her body to ram the other's head and upper back onto the ground.
We'll cut right to the chase here. The attack lands, and Katelynn is badly bloodied and bruised. It's obvious she's not going to hold out much longer against this opponent if things don't look up soon. She looks like she could pass out at any moment given the extent of her injuries, in that one eye is blackened, and her nose is starting to bleed a little.
But nonetheless, Katelynn takes a moment to catch her breath and use her chi to relax a little, in hopes that the regaining of her energy can help make a small difference.

Seeing that her opponent is taking a moment to catch her breath, and knowing that she can't really stop to do the same, Arika just continues on. Funny how a mixture of amateur wrestling and Dambe tends to make her act more a brawler at times than anything else. This is likely due to all the pub fights she was forced into early on in her singing career.
However, this isn't 'This Is Your Life', it's a fight. So what happens next is that Arika rushes at her opponent and sends a double palmheel strike toward Katelynn's stomach in the hopes of keeping her down.

Even in her injured state, Katelynn still finds the strength to lower her guard and block Arika's punch. The pain is there, but it could've been a lot worse. Katelynn doesn't say anything about this, instead bringing her bare foot up quickly aiming it at Arika's stomach.

The punk rock princess isn't -not- feeling the pain. The fact is, she's in a lot of pain. She's probably just better at concealing it than her opponent. When the foot comes up toward Arika's stomach, she easily blocks it with her knee, but is sent back again.
So she's left with just a few things to do. Another punch, or another kick... seeing as how she's not even -thought- to do a throw at all during this fight except for when she tossed Katelynn to the ground. So, she rushes in with a jab toward the girl's face, yet again. This time, it's aimed at a different angle though so as not to hit an already bruised area. Then she aims a palmheel strike for Katelynn's shoulder, a bright violet glow sheathing her hand as she does so.

Even in an injured state, there's nothing that says a fighter can't parry an opponent's attack. Even with Katelynn, that rule still applies. She somehow manages to parry the strike quickly, and gives her the upper hand once again. Without wasting any time, Katelynn attempts to deliver a Palm Blaster to Arika's stomach.

Considering the way they've ended up, there is absolutely -no- chance for Arika to dodge the Palm Buster sent toward her stomach (whatever that entails). It causes the diva to double over and clutch her stomach while backing away from her opponent. Giving it an all or nothing now, Arika swings herself back toward Katelynn once more. This time the pirouette isn't as as graceful as previously. This time it's a little more serious even. The foot comes up to strike at Katelynn, a sharp roundhouse kick aimed for her head before Arika falls to the mat in an attempt to catch her breath.

That roundhouse kick won't hit its mark, since Katelynn manages to dodge under it once again, and this time it looks like her opponent isn't done yet either. Just when Katelynn thought she had her opponent, Arika makes a sudden comeback. This is another time to study the situation.

Damnit! When the roundhouse kick misses, Arika falls to the mat. It seems her goal of catching her breath is a good thing though, and after a moment, she springs back up to her feet. That's when she cartwheels toward Katelynn and as soon as her feet hit the mat again, she's sending out a quick jab to the girl's chin. Yes, she's relentless. Yes, it's likely not as hard as she can hit, but she's still trying to catch her breath.

That's it, folks. It's officially over. The fight went both ways for awhile, but it's now official. Katelynn takes that final blow and when she does, she starts staggering around like she's drunk or something. She tries to hold onto the ropes to keep her balance, but even they don't help. It's only a moment later she falls to the ring on her stomach, but doesn't get up. The referee will eventually stop the fight as soon as he checks on Katelynn.

Waiting with anticipation, Arika watches the referee as he checks on Katelynn. When he motions that she's down for the count, the diva hops up onto one of the corner turnbuckles, turns to the camera and blows a kiss before punching both fists in the air in victory.
While she does this, medics come to ensure that there is nothing serious that Katelynn would need to be brought to the hospital for. At the same time, the announcers can be heard over the cheering crowd, "WE HAVE A WINNER FOLKS! Looks like this is another win for Arika Fade, rising star within the fighting circuits!"
