Neo League 401 - #410: R.Mika vs Shinobu

Description: Yacht... or not? When the locale for the fight is found out to be a platform instead of a luxury yacht, can the platform survive, or is the buxom blonde wrestler going to wind up all washed up? (Winner: Shinobu)



A warm day, and the sun is extremely radiant overhead casting a bright glow over the Sound Beach. Though it's still only Spring, Summer fever is in the air and the beach is actually teeming with people! Quite a few towels are spread out around the beach, littered with umbrellas, picnic baskets and the odd surfboard.

A watchful eye though cannot see any cameras.

Well that puts Rainbow Mika in a slight bit of a pickle. Didn't the papers the League sent her tell her to head to the beach? Stopping midway to shore, she scratches the top of her head and peers down at the papers in her hand.

"OH!"

Quickly, she rushes right up to the shore, her pigtails flapping behind her even though there's no wind. Yes, it would seem that the femme wrestler is just moving -that- fast. Upon making it to the shore, she looks out at the ocean and spies...

...

... a boat.

Not just any boat, mind! But a large, fifty-foot yacht. So when a man ushers her onto the little sport boat to bring her out to the filming location, she seems okay with it. Cheerful even! A yacht! That means luxury! Plenty of room to fight! Lots of things to throw around!

But then the yacht begins to move and reveals something that looks more like a thirty foot square raft, with four thick boards acting as turnbuckles and simple sailing rope making up the 'ring'.

Rainbow Mika blanches a little at this, looks for the camera crews and then puffs out a heavy sigh. Oh well, she can't be fussy about the locale at all and the platform does look big enough that she's not going to wind up falling off (she hopes). So, without further adieu, she waves cheerfully at the cameras as her name is displayed under her image on a screen not far away (HI MOM!) and then makes her way to the center of the platform as she glances around for her opponent.

Shinobu's on the the upper deck, swinging her arms in a stretch before swinging them over her head. As her hands fall, one of them goes to her brow to shield her eyes from the sun as she looks out toward the approaching boat. She then waves, before then getting a confused look on her face as her finger touches her cheek.

As Mika can get there and get a closer look at her opponent, Shinobu finishes a banana smoothie, and tosses it over her shoulder, letting it clatter to the mat behind her. "Eh...?", she says, staring, confused. "Are you supposed to be some kind of American superhero or something? That'd be cool!", she says with a wide smile, looking excited. Realization and dissapointment hit her, and the smile fades as she muses, "But you didn't fly in, so I guess that's not so. Oh well! Ready?", she says, folding her arms behind her head casually.

American superhero? At least -this- opponent didn't mistake her for a luchadore! The blonde wrestler gives her head a shake, pigtails tossed over each shoulder as she does. Hands settle to her hips as she spies Shinobu and points a hand out at her. "NO, SHINOBU OOTSUKA! I AM..." Pausing briefly she raises her hand up to her mask as though she's going to whip it off and then laughs. "... RAINBOW MIKA! AND I WILL BE THE SUPERSTAR OF THIS RING!"

Hopefully!

"I CHALLENGE YOU TO THIS NEO LEAGUE BATTLE! PREPARE YOURSELF!"

As Mika speaks to her opponent, the announcers up in that luxurious yacht are just bantering back and forth with one another about how killer this fight is going to be with two bright, young women battling it out under the heat of the sun on the ocean. The sound of a man clearing his throat can be heard over the yacht's loudspeakers and then the unmistakable sound of a bell to denote the start of a fight.

At the sound of the bell, Rainbow Mika quickly turns around to face the 'turnbuckle'. Then she leaps backward toward poor Shinobu, attempting to knock her flat with her buttocks. Regardless of whether she hits, or just overshoots the younger girl, she lands upon her rear, one hand settling to it as she rubs it from landing so roughly upon the platform.

Raising her arms like a boxer, Shinobu takes the hit on both arms, wincing as she's knocked away, pinwheeling a little. "Uh...", she starts, before saying with a slightly embarassed look. "... I'm not sure you're supposed to hit me with that." Dashing away slightly, she cups her hands close to herself, skidding to a stop.

As she does so, she then takes her hands apart, revealing a bubble of blue chi with a hint of white swirling within. With an underhand motion, she whips towards Mika in an arc. It almost looks harmless, but the crashing wave of chi within the bubble is ready to detonate. Close /does/ count, in this case.

Opening her mouth to reply to the fact that Mika likely shouldn't be hitting schoolgirls with her buttocks, she squeaks and tries to get her hands up in front of her face before the wave of energy crashes against her.

Close really -does- count as the energy smashes against her arms and drops her onto her back with a slightly dazed expression upon her face.

"HAHA, NICE! BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO KEEP RAINBOW MIKA DOWN!" And indeed it doesn't. Since Shinobu is so close, Mika makes a move to lunge forward and wrap her arms around the girl's legs so that she can simply push her backward and knock her down. The push isn't extremely hard or meant to be a finisher, just quick enough to hopefully give the blonde wrestler time to get back up to her feet and begin circling her opponent.

Shinobu backpedals and weaves to the side, bringing her fists up. "I'm just getting started, um... who are you?" She grins embarassedly. "I'm Shinobu Ootsuka, by the way!" She pauses, and brings her fist back. "And this is my fist!"

"Say hi!", she says, and then steps forward powerfully as she squats into a powerful punch thrown out of horse stance, trying to force her way away from the ropes with a judicious application of power. "HaSha!", she kiais, letting her breath out powerfully.

Who is she? WHO IS SHE?!?!

Rainbow Mika just blinks at the girl as she backs away and then sweatdrops. It's almost visible in that anime-esque type way, the blonde pigtails drooping over the fronts of her shoulders.

"HI!" Mika calls to the fist as she weaves to the side in order to miss it. "AND BYE!" Haha! Take that fist! No punching soft Mika flesh just yet! But having liked the way that move looked, she sets her hands to her hips again and just -grins- at Shinobu.

"THE NAME," the blonde wrestler cries as she points to her chest in a 'me Jane' kind of way, "IS RAIIIIIIINBOOOOOOW MIKA!" It is then that her fist is launched in a wide hook-swipe toward the side of Shinobu's head. Maybe in order to knock the name into place this time?

"Oh! Okay...", Shinobu says thoughtfully. "... you're pretty good!" She then looks thoughtful, stepping back. "But you don't have to shout, I can hear you fine.", she points out... not realizing it's not necessarily her Mika's "talking to".

She and then hops forward, lashing down with a swift heel kick. "WaiTA!", she exclaims, trying to at least throw Mika off with a fierce spirit. Well, it probably'll take more than that, but she's gotta try, right?

"I'M NOT SHOU--" Okay, so she is shouting, but Mika -really- wants what she says to be heard over the idiotic banter of the announcers! "--TING!" Leaping backward from the heel kick she settles her hands to her hips and says, "HAHA!" Then she's flailing about to right herself because she's nearly tripping up over a coil of the sailing rope. "AIIIEE~!"

All her silly flailing movements bring her up close and personal with Shinobu and she makes an attempt to slip in behind and to the side of the girl. "There's no waiter here," Mika remarks quietly, just in case the girl wasn't aware that they're floating on a platform and not spending time on that pretty yacht. WAAAAH! But then she's immediately making a grab for Shinobu's midsection and trying to slide her leg out in front to stop the girl from getting anywhere. Then, if successful in this first attempt, she'll simply lift the much lighter girl up in the air before kneeling down and trying to crash a tailbone against her knee.

Shinobu is slammed down to the mat, hard. She rolls her her feet, rubbing her butt. "Ahhhh... fine! I'll serve something, then, if you really want service." She whips her fist in Mika's direction, her eyes narrowing in challenge.

She then rushes forward, and her left fist becomes a blur as she lashes out with an innumerable series of punches. "Yayayayayayaya!", she rapid-fire kiais with the fan of fast-forward blows, before then lashing out with one final punch from her other arm. "YaSHA!"

Each and every single blow hits and has Rainbow Mika pouting out her lower lip and yelling, "OWIIIIIIE!" Who would have thought that someone so small could pack such a powerful punch? Maybe the blonde wrestler should be taking her own advice and not underestimate who she's fighting against!

Whimpering again as she rubs her body where each blow landed, she just points toward the girl opens her mouth to say something and then closes it just as quickly. The only intelligent thing that she can think of to say is, 'That hurt', but she doesn't want it to sound whiney!

Drawing her body to the side, she makes an attempt to get behind Shinobu again. This time to attempt wrapping her arms about her waist, lifting her up and then falling backward so that they're both hitting the wooden boards of the platform.

Shinobu is whipped back, but manages to get her hands under her, slamming down on her fists rather than having her head knocked in... and flips back into a crouch, wringing out her hands in pain. "Atatatata, you remind me of this one guy I fought with an eyepatch... maybe he's your brother?" No, Shinobu, there's no relation between Ramon and R.Mika, outside of being blonde and grabby... but it's close enough in her mind.

Then, she crouches low, says, "Hahhhhh..." She then rises with a powerful upward punch, suddenly, hard enough that the force cracks one of the boards underneath her. It's not a pure uppercut, as Shinobu tries to blow R.Mika right off her feet. She'd like to come up with something cunning, but... sometimes you just have to meet power with power.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!" Blowing Rainbow Mika right off of her feet? No kidding. The blonde wrestler becomes airborne and starts to fall backward. As she falls her back arches slightly and she lands with a heavy thud on her shoulders and causes a slight ripple in the water directly below the platform.

No, it's not because of her weight at all. It's because of the sheer force of the impact.

"Unngh." Rainbow Mika tries to sit up and slide herself right back into the fight but unfortunately that blow has sent her for a loop and the dizziness that courses through her skull is enough to have her lie back and try to actually catch her breath momentarily while she prepares for the next barrage of attacks from the younger girl.

COMBATSYS: R.Mika gains composure.

"Hmmmmm...", Shinobu stares at the end of her fist, blinking. "... sometimes I forget how strong it is..." She then brings it down to punch the deck, shacking it, and slides into horse stance as she holds it forth before her, building up her power. Yes, power. POWER! She shakes with a "Hahhhhhhhhh!", as her clothes and hair flutter under invisible currents of chi.

Then, she seems to snap out of it, rubbing her nose with a blink. "Oh, right, come at me however you like, okay?"

COMBATSYS: Shinobu gathers her will.

However she likes? Rainbow Mika groans again, giving her head a bit of a shake causing her pigtails to go flapping about every which way while she tries to get back up to her feet. Using her hands to push herself up as quickly as she can, she nods. "ALRIGHT!"

Now why is there a gleam in those bright baby blue eyes of hers?

Twisting herself about, she climbs up onto the well-tied rope and then launches herself backward, directly at Shinobu's face. With her buttocks. Again. Once again, in the hopes of knocking her backward in another stunning Shooting Peach attack!

Shinobu doesn't move, instead being battered back by Mika's quick body block... and stumbles, falling back. But soon, before she can recover, Shinobu brings her foot up... and kicks forward from her prone position, aiming to kick Mika's butt before she can recover. Dirty? Well, if you hit with it, it's a proper place to attack. "Hah!"

But the whole thing does seem a little fanservicey.

It does, doesn't it? Likely why the cameras are focusing on zooming in.

Rainbow Mika gets kicked in the behind and it sends her into a forward somersault that ends with her in a seated position. Her pigtails swoop around her head for a moment like little yellow tweeting birds to mark her dazedness but she quickly gets back up to her feet.

Apparently, she hasn't learnt her lesson yet.

Approaching Shinobu in a swift manner, she slams her head forward in the attempts of catching the girl on the forehead. If that first slam hits, she repeats it several more times before trying to lock Shinobu up in a headlock designed to crush at her windpipe a little. And if all of this happens to work out, she leaps forward and lands on her buttocks in the attempt of slamming Shinobu's face onto the platform.

Shinobu hunkers over, putting her hands over her head, battered back with each hit as she bobs from side to side, reducing the impact. If this where an anime, some observer would doubtlessly comment on her ability to bob from side to side and thus prevent Mika from hitting her arms straight on. But the announcer simply blathers on about how it looks like that hurts. As the headlock, comes, though, Shinobu breaks the hold and rolls back, barely avoiding the buttslam.

"It's not gonna be that easy!", Shinobu declares as she wobbles back to her feet. "I haven't fought butt boxing-" Apparently somebody's come up with a name out of her head. "- but I think I've got it figured out!" Rushing towards the ropes, she bounces off as she tries to slam into Rainbow Mika with the side of her hip and butt. It's not the same, more of a bump than a slam, but hey. It's her first time.

Baby blue eyes get wide beneath the mask as she watches Shinobu come toward her with her hip/butt combo. Rainbow Mika doesn't know whether to laugh or get the heck out of dodge. So, she compromises. Instead of dodging out of the way completely, she twists to the side and attempts to take the hip bump with her hip. Even so, ninety pounds of weight bumping into her isn't exactly air and it jostles her to the side a little.

With Shinobu closing the distance once more, the blonde wrestler is given a few opportunities. The first would be a flat out flip tackle attempt again, but instead she drops into a crouch and throws out a low chop toward the girl's shins either to hit the soft spot along them or simply sweep the feet out from under her.

"HAHA BUTT BOXING!! I LIKE IT!" Seems that made someone a little giddy.

Shinobu hops back away from the attack, flailing a little on her landing to regain her footing. "WaAaAa!", she says, and then shakes her head. "Well, of course you like it! It's your style!" She grins. "I never really worried about stuff like that, myself! I just fight!"

Then, she leaps at Rainbow Mika with a classic Kung Fu flying kick. "Shinobu..." But as she gets near Rainbow Mika, she then flips over, trying to add a flip kick to the manuever. "... KICK!" A bit... reminiscent of a certain other fighter. Hm!

Oh oh! Rainbow Mika knows this one! There's a name, then there's a ki----

"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!"

*KERTHUD*

Rolling over in a ball of blonde pigtails, the wrestler femme faceplants momentarily against the platform. Then she's pushing up to her feet as quickly as she can and gasping for air. Oh, wow. She's feeling this fight now and she should stop and try to catch her breath.

Only if she does that, crazy kicking girl will be at her with one of those feet again and well, she's just not ready to deal with that. So, forward she launches with a slight twist in the air that sees her coming down right in front of Shinobu with a quick elbow smash toward the girl's face.

Maybe it's unethical of her to make the attempt, but the girl just said she just fights. And this -is- just fighting...

Shinobu is smacked in the face... but this isn't wrasslin' rules, so she stumbles back for a moment, and then shimmies, recovering. "Ah, you hit real hard...", she says, as her feet slide into horse stance. But then, she claps her hands together, and then cups them as she gathers up her power again.

"Hahhhhhh!", she exhales loudly as her hair and clothes flutter once again. and it's heavier than before, this time rattling nearby timbers and wood. Though she doesn't have a visible aura about her, there's a definite 'feel' to somebody that's hit their zenith, almost like the mist before a wave crashes down.

Attributing that last hit entirely to luck, Rainbow Mika just shrugs her shoulders. Maybe she -does- hit really hard, but then again it was likely just a good shot. Elbows are great for that kind of thing, and it doesn't look like she's broken Shinobu at all so that's a good thing!

Or not?

Probably not, but it's not something she can focus on just yet. Rattling timbers within the platform actually begin to loosen the turnbuckle closest to Rainbow Mika and she looks between it and her opponent with widened baby blues. "WHOOOOA! NIFTY TRICK!"

As the words leave her lips though, she's already rushing toward Shinobu again keeping her body as compact as possible. Just as she reaches the girl, she springs up with her shoulder hoping to catch Shinobu with it and pop her back a few feet.

Shinobu's been bruised, battered, and beaten... but she's played conservatively with her chi. The truth is that she isn't that good at handling it as delivering it, and well...

... now her hands come apart, and Rainbow Mika gets to see what's within. It's a soccer-ball sized version of her bubble from earlier. But it spins and swirls, as within it isn't a mere wave. It's a tempest.

As Rainbow Mika tries to body-block Shinobu, the smaller girl thrusts the chi bomb towards her, and it catches Rainbow Mika like somebody trying to climb into a fan, flipping her over, thusly negating her offense. But that's just the split-second before things really go pear-shaped.

The resulting detonation rocks the boat, shattering a good section of the deck and sending Shinobu flying back against the turnbuckle, impacting roughly. As the blue swirl of energy expands and pops, it leaves mist in its wave, obscuring the ring. The boat itself continues to sway, taking its sweet time to get on an even keel, and Shinobu wobbles back and forth with it, breathing hard from the effort.

COMBATSYS: R.Mika can no longer fight.

What the...

Where did...

And suddenly Rainbow Mika is caught by an energy bomb that sends her down onto the platform with such alarming speed as to actually create a crater in it. Water begins to seep up through the cracked wood where she lands, and then the boat is rocking from the detonation.

Actually, water seems to be seeping through a lot of places and there appears to be an extremely large hole in the middle of the fighting 'arena'. Does this deter the masked heroine?

No!

Even while the boat sways Rainbow Mika leaps over the hole toward the turnbuckle where Shinobu is trying to catch her breath. A lunging backhand is sent toward the girl's face. A series of attacks follows, none being extremely hard... just rather annoying. Feet shoot out in light kicks toward the shins and ankles. Hands flail about in various jabs and hooked punches.

After all this though, Rainbow Mika turns around and takes a step forward to the large hole that's causing the platform to begin to sink. Her backside to the girl once more she leaps up into the air and tries one last time to take Shinobu out with the FLYING BUTTOCKS OF DOOOOOOM!(tm).

Shinobu sees the impact coming out of the mist, and she just ducks, turtling up as she avoids some attacks, while others land on her arm... and then she thrusts her palms against the buttbomb, slamming against the post again but hanging in there as she then leans away, carried by the motion of the boat. "Eh? Did I overdo it?", she says, and then grabs one of the ropes. "WaAaAaAa!", she calls out, trying to keep her balance /and/ make sure Rainbow isn't going to get up again and inflict her booty once more. Maybe she should have called it Booty-Boxing.

Oh well, first worrying about not drowning or losing or both.

WaAaAaAa is right! Rainbow Mika is making a similar noise as she overshoots with the peach attack and goes rolling backward into the ocean.

*SPLAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSH~*

Down the buxom blonde goes. Down, and down. Will she make it to Davy Jones' locker?

Cameras silently shift to the area where the femme wrestler began to sink.

But there's something to be said for being overly busty - built in buoyancy. Very little time passes before Rainbow Mika floats back up to the surface, sputtering water from between her lips like a fancy water fountain, clinging to a piece of the platform that's floating out from under it.

Then the officials call it. Rainbow Mika is no longer able to fight. Shinobu is saved from further booty attacks, and the sports boat that brought Mika out this way comes to collect the two competitors to take them to the yacht for medical treatment if needed and relaxation otherwise.

COMBATSYS: Shinobu has ended the fight here.
