Description: [OOC] Cody says, "It's like he's a counter character without Counter"
[OOC] Raiden also starts it. "Care to start us of Cody? WE HAS A PLAN."
[OOC] Cody says, "I shall, as is my sovereign duty."
For Cody Travers, things are finally starting to settle down. He's gotten himself an apartment on the third floor of a complex in a seedy part of Chinatown. Before his arrival it was hardly noteworthy, but for the past week and a half the usual loiterers about it - drug dealers, common thugs, the occasional pimp - have vanished. Ever since The Incident - the cause of the numerous and large bloodstains all across the sidewalk in front of the building - they all stay as far down the street as they can manage from the complex, occasionally looking longingly towards it like dogs lusting for what lies beyond an invisible fence.
The blonde American who served as the catalyst or these events, however, is doing much better than the scum that used to hang outside his building. His life is, as aforementioned, on the upswing, and so he's doing what any red-blooded American male would do. He is sitting on his futon in his boxer shorts watching Spongebob Squarepants dubbed into japanese, and eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch directly from the box.
In the privacy of his own home, Cody swallows a mouthful of cereal and announces to his empty apartment, "Japanese people are weird."
[OOC] Raiden says, "Amen, brother."
It's an odd sight. An over-tall Chinese man in a black suit and a fat Australian driving down the streets of Chinatown in a beat-ass Humvee with no windows save for the front windshield, blaring music that's making people turn and look as they wheel around corners about 15 miles an hour too fast for normal city streets. There's an occasional exchange of words, along with the fat one pointing in this direction and that while the driver slams the steering wheel this way and that, simultaneously slamming on the brake to a squeal of rubber on concrete until they finally come to a stop in front of a particular bulding. Once they stop, Ryuji Yamazaki just thumbs backwards at the chaingun on the back. "Knock on the front door, Raiden."
Things have been kinda quite in Southtown as of late. That is why Geese has decided to make things more interesting for all of his men by placeing out a list of various rewards. Well leave it to Raiden and Yamazaki decide to work together and split what they can get. Sadly Cody finds himself to be the first on that list that was created. Granted, Kain was collected on already, but that was just a once in a lifetime chance for Yamazaki to make some quick big bucks. Not like Raiden was around to help so it is all good. He can have that bounty all to himself.
So there Raiden is standing in the back dressed in a leather jacket over his tank top and a pair of beat up jeans while also wearing his trademark lucha mask, silver and black tonight, as he stares up at the third floor. He squints some as he tries to remember what apartment the goon is supposed to be in. The guy that gave the info better be right. While Yamazaki has no qualms about hurting innocents, Raiden rather not shoot up some hot lady even if she has a kid. "Got it." the Aussie grumps as he directs the mounted chaingun towards the window of Cody's place and opens fire.
[OOC] Yamazaki says, "That Humvee is quickly moving above Mr. Big on the list of people in the Syndicate that I like."
%Cody starts as the first high-powered rounds rip through his one window, and in the moments that follow, as chaingun fire obliterates not only the window but the wall around it, forming what results in merely a large, rubble-spewing hole, he hurls his cereal into the air and dives to the ground, covering his head with his hands.$r When the first salvo stops, he pulls himself to his feet and staggers over to the gaping hole where his window used to be, screaming angrily into the street, "MAN, COME ON! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, THE MATRIX?!" Reaching up to run a hand through his hair furiously, he paces back and forth before turning and surveying the street. Oh, dear.
"Well, that's just great. It's Jackass Marley, and he's gone ahead and brought the Ghost of Christmas Fat. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" he screams, again, throwing his hands out wide. "A MINIGUN?! COME ON! HOW EVEN DID YOU FIND ME?!"
[OOC] Cody says, "I done forgot a letter."
[OOC] Cody says, "Man, I fucked that up bad."
[OOC] Yamazaki says, "Raiden, you're up first, go ahead and go next, then I'll pose."
[OOC] Raiden says, "Give me a moment. Phone."
Yamazaki has reconnected.
Yamazaki has dropped a connection.
[OOC] Raiden says, "BACK"
It is something that would come out of an action movie, isn't it? Hero is getting shot at and somehow all the bullets miss. Only most heros don't scream out stupid lines like that nor are they found walking about in boxer shorts unless it is a buddy cop movie or something. That would be money, then. "You can't hide from Mr. Howard, mate!" barks back the large Aussie as he refrains from firing at the moment. "Get down here and be a good boy. We need to collect yer bounty."
Looks like it really is a bad idea to break into the tower of the man that owns Southtown. Yes, Geese does remember these things and there was no way Cody was going to get off scot free. That is if you count being thrown out the tower as getting off scot free. Of course if Cody doesn't comply there is another hail of bullets sent his way.
"You think he's actually stupid enough to come out here when we're opening fire on him with a minigun?" Yamazaki snickers underneath his breath, then slouches back into the driver's seat before he reaches a hand up and starts laying on the horn. beepbeepbeepbeepbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. "GET OUT HERE, ASSHOLE! And put on some pants, for the love of christ!"
Cody simply throws up his hands and turns around, disappearing from the window. After about 45 seconds, he reappears in the window, now wearing his lately usual outfit of old jeans, old white t-shirt, and new (but used) orange prison uniform shirt. Wearing a grim glare, he cups his hands around his mouth and calls down, "Step away from the bigass gun and I'll come down!"
As he does so, he half-crouches, taking cover behind the wall below the hole and preparing to dive away at any moment. Goddamn crazy-ass people with their chainguns and their hummers.
Well that is a start at least. Cody at least makes himself decent so it is enough for the large wrestler to step off the back of the humvee and well away from the mounted chaingun. What fun is shooting up a person anyways? Not near as amusing as throwing them about and squishing them so the request is honored and Raiden cracks his knuckles as he wanders towards the passenger side of the humvee and leans in to look at Yamazaki. "I can take care of this punk. If he gets lucky just run his ass over." the Aussie grunts before turning back about and folds his arms over his chest and leans back against the side of the vehicle while waiting to see if Cody actually keeps his half of the bargain and comes down.
With a thumbs-up, Yamazaki lifts both feet up and rests them against the dashboard of the Humvee. Then, he leans over and pops open the glove compartment before reaching inside. Since the acquisition of the Humvee from SNF, the gangster has made some additions to it; such as the cooled beer holder where the glove compartment used to be. He reaches inside and pulls one out, then cracks it open before lifting it to Raiden. "Don't fuck up!" A wide smirk is given to the Aussie before Ryuji has himself a drink.
Sure enough, as Raiden steps away from the mounted weapon, Cody disappears from the window once again. This time he reappears in much shorter order, vaulting through the hole and plummeting down, down into the concrete below, landing in a kneel with such force that tiny cracks spiderweb out beneath him. It's always useful to make an entrance, and besides, the building's elevator is broken.
With a grunt, the American stands, rolling his neck back and forth to various cracking noises. "Dude," he comments, squinting at the enormous Raiden as he raises his, as they say, 'dukes,' "What are you, some kind of superhero from New Zealand? Crushing evil with the power of your poor diet?"
One might think those insults might just bring a big frown across the features of Raiden. He certainly had a serious look on his face this whole time. Though that serious look turns into a big grin that is soon followed by a rather loud laugh as he shakes his head. "Yer pretty funny, mate." the Aussie comments as he doesn't seem at all intimidated by the entrance that Cody decided to make. In fact all it leads to is the fat man moving into action before another word is spoken.
Large? Oh very much so, but also he moves a bit quicker than one might expect as he brings his right hand forward to grasp for Cody's shirt before he brings his other hand forward to slam into his face. The knuckles are intent on dragging right across the American's mug and if the poor guy does happen to get caught he at least gets to look forward to being released. That form of release is just getting tossed aside after that big ass punch.

[OOC] Yamazaki is patrollin'. Waitin' to catch Haggar ridin' dirty. :|
A lot of people might be intimated, even just by Raiden's size; even a lot of people as combat-capable as Cody. But the American has spent years and years around, sparring with, and occasionally simply getting struck at by Mike Haggar, and that tends to get one used to being grappled by huge people.
This is, of course, merely tangential, as even if Cody had never even met Haggar, his reaction would probably not be that much different. He stands his ground as Raiden grabs onto his shirt and knocks him upside the head, to put it lightly, a few flecks of blood appearing on the sidewalk behind him.
As the Australian shoves him away, he staggers but launches right into the fight, lunging in low at Raiden and coming up in a quick uppercut. "You wanted me, big guy, well, here I am!" he snarls, and as he finishes extending from his blow, aimed to impact somewhere around the fat under Raiden's ribs, he adds, as an afterthought, "Rock you like a hurricane!"
As if speaking a command word, an eight-foot tall cyclone erupts into being around the enormous wrestler, threatening to lurch even him off his feet and toss him backwards in the direction of his own Humvee.

[OOC] Cody says, "It seems your schwartz is as big as mine!"
It doesn't seem like Raiden is just going to stand there and let Cody have a moment to recover. Even as the ex-convict is recovering the big wrestler is rumbling forward ready to meet that blow head on as fat clashes with fist. The hurricane is a bit of a surprise, but Raiden takes it rather well as he just grins the whole time. All that really results from this attack is the big man having a possible bruise on his gut and having his clothes ruffled by the heavy gust of wind. "Good, was hoping you weren't a momma's boy, mate."
There is another chuckle and the big nasty bastard takes a few steps back then howls loudly as he rushes forward while lowering his shoulder. It looks to be aimed right at the sternum of Cody and he intends to impact there at full speed ahead and put all his weight into it as he will continue forward to just smish Cody between fat and the wall if he has his way with things.

With a snarl, Cody hunches down, bracing himself to catch Raiden's charge. And catch it he does- the shoulder impacts his chest, but he's ready for it, and his outstretched arms grapple onto the larger man's shoulders, the force of the attack pushing him backwards across the concrete with the squeal and, shortly, smell, of friction burning shoe sole.
As the man runs out of momentum, Cody snarls and draws back his head, snapping his forehead forward at the luchador's nose in what is known in some circles as a 'man kiss.' Just, this would be the equivalent of man rape.

[OOC] Cody says, "It hurts us precious."
There is only one way to reciprocate when a man kiss/man rape is given. That would be what Raiden does for Cody. In close quarters such as this it is all too easy to get a grip on the American since he is too busy trying to bust the wrestler's nose. That fist comes into contact with the forehead of Raiden though since he is leaning forward to hook his arms around Cody's waist as he steps forward to scoop him up into the air and off his feet.
Even if Raiden has a guy those arms are huge and full of meaty muscle that means the following bearhug isn't the most pleasant of things. It is the type of hug Haggar would give Cody when he brought Jessica home a few minutes past the sceduled time. He just gets shaken about like a rag doll of some sort before he just gets tossed aside back onto the sidewalk. "Try a bit harder." he barks and he shakes his head to clear the cobwebs from where he just got punched not too long ago.
Cody has never been offensively hugged before. Even by Haggar. The move catches him off guard, and he just sorts of boggles as the air's crushed out of him, rolling out heavily as he's tossed aside like a ragdoll. Gasping for air, the blonde struggles to his feet. He seems quite puzzled, but after a moment simply shakes his head, finishing composing himself. "So you like to get touchy feely, eh, tubbo?" he asks, with a sneer. "Well, we can play it that way!"
This is, of course, an overt lie, as Cody takes a quick step forward and then yanks a closed switchblade out of one his rear belt loops, snapping it open, giving it a quick twirl, and snapping it through the air towards Raiden.

Fio has arrived.
Fio heads north to the Southtown Village.
If anything yamazaki is getting a good show with his beer. It seems Cody is more resilient than expected for the most part. That or he is just too retarded not to realize laying down might just be the best option. "Sorry kiddo, but you want Zangief for that sort of loving." Raiden grunts in response. He grins again even as Cody seems think he can go toe to toe with the big man....that is until he breaks out a knife. That little potsticker is supposed to be painful?
Maybe it is just a bit, though the way Raiden just runs forward and lets the knife imbed into his left arm makes one think he could care less about bleeding a little. He has been hit with alot worse by far and a little pinprick like that isn't going to stop him from doing what he does best. Cody might just be taking another trip skyward though as Raiden is looking to just up and throw the poor kid up onto his broad shoulders then fall backwards in a form of a Samoan Drop.

Cody raises an eyebrow as Raiden simply charges through his weapon, struck with sudden pangs on what you could call 'knife envy.' "Looks like I'm gonna have to get me some fixed-blades," he mumbles, and that's about all he has time to do before Raiden is upon him, hoisting him up onto his shoulders.
As he's lifted, Cody's feet and hands scrabble wildly and he thrashes about like a captured ferret, and as the Australian topples backwards the blonde not only wrenches himself free of the larger man's grip, but manages to twist about and plant his knee directly on Raiden's face, hoping he'll manage to keep it there long enough to smash in the wrestler's face when the pair of them make contact with the ground.

[OOC] Cody says, "It burns us precious."
[OOC] Raiden says, "TAKE YO MEDICINE"
What happens is a weird turn of events set off by Cody trying to get fancypants with the whole thing. The guy could taken his beating, but he just wants to up and try to turn the tables on Raiden and Big Bear just doesn't like that shit at all. That is why he is shifting his momentum even as Cody is slamming his knees into Raiden. The bigger fighter is twisting about to stay on his feet for a moment as he just rears back and then thrusts his fist forward in such a way it would make someone wish he was screaming 'FALCON PUNCH!' while doing it.
That meaty fist slams into Cody to knock the fighter away from him and the masked wrestler rubs his face while grunting some. The things he does for money sometimes. At least this is a good fight and not some chump that Geese felt like having beat up. that sorta fight will probably happen when Tony is sought after. "Is that all you got?! Come at me ya damn kid."
Cody goes flying through the air at Raiden's sudden turnabout, crashing into the wall of his own apartment building and hacking up a stream of blood as he does so. Though he crumples to the ground, he's quick to rise again, staggering to his feet and spitting out another mouthful of blood. "Alright, you fat sack of crap," he snarls. "You wanna do it this way, we really can. Come get some!"
At the last words, he slams a fist into his chest and hunkers down into a mockery of Raiden's own stance. "Let's see how you like this one..."
COMBATSYS: Cody focuses on his next action.

What the hell is the kid doing now? The mockery of his stance might actually be overlooked due to the fact that Raiden is actually surprised that the kid decided to hold back even for a moment since he had been going balls to the wall up till now. of course it isn't like it has done the best for him right now. Big Bear straightens up for a moment while tilting his head and eyeing Cody for a moment as he rubs at his beard. "What? It looks like you are just standing there doing nothing. I don't like that at all."
After that brilliant work of deduction the wrestler takes a deep breath as his eyes narrow on Cody. He then raises a hand and holds it in front of his lips as if he is about to blow a horn and then he just lets out a rather large purplish gout. Of course if Cody gets caught in that cloud he isn't going to be a happy camper at all. It smells bad and it burns the lungs if inhaled at that.

As Raiden extends himself for his attack, Cody erupts with blue light, lunging forward, body trailing blue afterimages. One hand extends towards the wrestler...
And then the American gets, essentially, spit on, and he stops in his tracks, hacking, coughing, and staggering backwards, afterimages suddenly gone. "Jesus christ, dude!" he chokes out. "Eat a fucking mint or something!"
Ahh there he goes. Looks like things are about to get damn interesting. That is until it seems that the mist has a bit more of an impact than Raiden was expecting. He just stands there looking rather smug as Cody up and chokes on the cloud that surrounds him. "Wouldn't be near as effective then now would it?" he asks while looking rather amused while trundling forward at a rather slow pace. Looks like he is getting a bit too carried away with all of this and he is just taking it a bit too easy.
He reaches to put a hand on Cody's shoulder and grip it tightly while rearing back and bringing his large head forward to slam it right into the face of the American and then push him away once again once delivering the harsh blow. He can't remain standing for too much longer can he?

Still hacking and coughing as Raiden approaches him, Cody still manages to throw up his arms as the big man's head comes blasting in, diffusing the blow on his braced forearms. Never the less, he goes stumbling backwards.
He's breathing heavy, especially because of the poison spit, but that only marginally slows his return blow, as he hops briefly into the air and drops to the ground, slamming both legs out like pistons at Raiden's left knee as he falls.

Oh hell naw. Cody is going to go for the low blow and try to take the big man off his feet? Raiden doesn't like that idea at all and that is probably why he brings his knee up right as Cody kicks out to glance off his sneaker and nail him in the chin. Right then the wrestler barrels forward in a flurry of meat and fat. Fists, kicks and headbutts galore happen as he just batters Cody about while pushing him back across the sidewalk and with a final swing he plants him between the wall and his fist before taking a few steps back.
"Hope you got the camera, mate!" he calls back to Yamazaki while looking over his shoulder with a grin as blood trickles from one corner of his mouth. "And a beer for that matter. This guy has me feeling thirsty. Guess I didn't leave anything for you, though."
A short shrug causes Yamazaki's shoulders to lift. "Meh. I'll just beat the hell outta someone else later." He pops the cooler open again, then reaches in. He knows what kind of beer Raiden prefers; he reaches into that compartment before grabbing a can and tossing it over to the grappler. "Incoming!"
After the beer is passed out, Ryuji stands up in his seat for a moment, then lifts the camera. "Come on, Raiden. Strike a pose with the meat, make a good picture for the boss."
*crunch* That's the sound Cody makes when Raiden finally makes the battered man the meat in a very violent sandwich, and as the wrestler backs off the American, bleeding profusely, slides down the wall to the ground, thuddign heavily into a sitting position, his head drooping forward. He sucks in a ragged breath and then wretches up a mouthful of blood onto the ground in between his legs, As the two Syndicate goons celebrate, Cody struggles to climb to his feet, pawing at the wall for unoffered support...

And he finds it. With a sudden snarl, Cody digs his fingers into the side of the building and hauls himself to his feet in a burst of adrenaline, taking a staggering step forward. "Don't get out the butter just yet, O"Chunks," he sneers, dropping once more into a mimic of Raiden's stance and narrowing his eyes. "We ain't done' playin' yet..."
That beer can is caught and the hiss of it being opened is soon heard. The wrestler chugs the thing down then raises a brow when he turns about to gather his prey only to find Cody has somehow got back to his feet. "A fiesty one...." he says darkly and crushes the can between his hands before tossing it away. The thought of getting the picture taken for the bounty is set aside from now. He wasn't looking to cripple the kid, but if it is the only way Cody is going to stay down then so be it.
With a large roar Big Bear barrels forward once again for Cody. This time he is just seeking to grab whatever he can get and then swing the American right into the wall as hard as he can only to pull him away and flog him against it a few more times. Once he seems satisfied, which is about the fifth time if the grip is made, he finally drops Cody onto the ground then jumps in the air to big body splash him hard into the concrete.

Looking at it one way, Raiden wins, for as the two near each other, Cody suddenly hits the ground in a baseball slide, slipping nimbly between the running wrestler's legs and rising behind him, spinning around, hopping into the air, and launching a straight, again piston-like kick at the small of the wrestler's back with one leg.

A single eyebrow is cocked as Cody actually manages to get back up onto his feet. "The hell? Did he...?" Yes, he did. And he's up and moving again. "God damn it." Yamazaki mutters something underneath his breath, then shakes his head and sighs as he leans back down to the glove compartment. "That's it." With an angry tug back, he yanks another one of the beers out from the cooler, then straightens up before chucking the full can right at Cody's head.
Don't do drugs, kids. You'll end up like Cody. That should be the next commercial Big Bear does to make sure there will be a new generation of grapplers to maul people. There is an awkward stumbling motion when Cody slides between his legs and it looks like he is an easy target and well, he gets struck right in the back, but it doesn't look to do much at all. Raiden is just a no-selling bastard and he turns around to frown at Cody. "Crack? How about something a bit le-" he just up and stops before looking to sock Cody right in the nose at the same time the beer can is coming in to smack the American in the back of the head.

Grimacing as his attack simply bounces off Raiden's substantial backfat, Cody drops into his usual fighting stance at Raiden wheels to face him. Behind him, however, he catches wind of Yamazaki, and he turns his head glance at what the hell McFucko is up to. Unfortunately for him, this distracts him just enough to mean he's turning his head back to Raiden just in time to get punched fully in the face, sending him spinning a full 180* as Yamazaki hurls a beer can at him.
Now, however, he's just angry, and with a scream he headbutts the thrown object, the can bursting and showering the blonde's head and shoulders with fizzing beer. That probably wasn't a good idea, but it doesn't matter in the short run, as Cody turns back to Raiden and lets out a scream full of pure and primal rage, his eyes fully bursting this time into sickly green light.
This time, however, it is joined by a corona of similarly green light around his body, a shade that would be labelled on a paint can as 'plague green.' Shrieking like an animal, he bursts forwards at Raiden, trailing not afterimages but solid green shadows.
He unleashes three lightning-quick punches at Raiden, and moves to follow it up with a simple uppercut... but instead, he suddenly turns calmly around. He doesn't even pause, simply continuing in a full three-hundred and sixty degree turn and then unleashing ANOTHER trio of punches at the enormous wrestler, once again moving to go into the uppercut...
And instead turning around. He does this two more times. On the fourth series of jabs, he finally lets himself go, continuing on with a right hook, then a left, then a fierce knee blow to the stomach, and finally the so-long-coming uppercut which, should it connect, launches even Raiden into the air.
His probably last hurrah completed, Cody merely stands there, hunched over like a crazy person, green light still streaming from his eyes and coalescing in the air around his hands as he snarls and sneers...

It is rather amazing how much Cody really has left in his gas tank at this point. Somehow managing to take the punch and still get angry enough just up to slam his head against the beer can and then flip out like he is some sort of ninja. That assault is one that even rocks the big man back several steps as he continues to get battered by the assorted blows, even to the point Cody finally gets the big wrestler off his feet and sends Raiden crashing onto the ground on his back and leaving another nice hole in the concrete that has spiderwebbed out.
Of course where Cody slumps and doesn't get up, the larger fighter does find the strength to finally give up even though he looks pretty worn out and annoyed. "Kids never learn." he grumps to himself as he wanders over to grab Cody by a leg and lifts him up high in the air and lets his prone body dangle there as if he is some sort of fish that was just caught while Raiden gives a bit grin despite his face being bloodied and battered. "Cheese, mate. Easy money."
Yamazaki just stands back, shaking his head for a moment at that last little outburst from Cody. "Gotta give the little shit credit for trying. Useless, but whatever." The digital camera is hoisted, and a trio of pictures are all quickly snapped with Raiden holding the unconcious Cody up. Once the last picture is taken, the lens cap is snapped back on and tossed into one of the Humvee's back seat. "Dump him in the gutter 'n let's get the fuck out of here." Ryuji then sits himself down into the driver's seat and starts the motor back up.
And so the bounty shall be collected and Cody loses the apartment he finally got. Or at least he lost the wall for awhile. It is amazing how fast things get rebuilt around here. Of course it doesn't help that Raiden putters around for a bit to get a rope out of the back of the humvee to tie around Cody's ankles and then hangs him from the nearest lightpost once all is said and done. "And that is for ruining a perfectly good beer." he tells the unconcious fighter. Of course it is more Yamazaki's fault, but Cody could have caught it dammit! For now though he can hang there and enjoy his little Batman nap up till someone comes to cut him down. With that being done Raiden climbs into the back of the humvee and off the duo go. One down, many more to go.
[OOC] Raiden says, "Yer a good sport, Cody. Thank you. :<"
[OOC] Cody says, "S'all good homie."
