Description: Mismatched bout! Sakura and Mike Bison fight Ryo and Kurow in a recycling center! Bison is a bad, bad man o/~ (Winners: Ryo and Kurow)
Metro City! It's got capitalism in the air, you can just smell it. Or maybe that's metal being melted down into its constituent components for reuse. That'd make a lot of sense, considering the cameras for this Saturday Night Fight bout are located inside a recycling center. Mounds of more-or-less sorted junk are piled up in a fairly organized manner off to one side: metal stuff here, plastic containers and bottles there, glass over a little further away. All the lovely machinery needed to reclaim the pearls from this mess is located on the other side of the area -- compactors, melty things, and... well. Surely someone can explain what these things do if you'd asked them. And in the middle is a small array of forklifts and bucket loaders used to move the piles of stuff around. Fight cameras are distributed throughout the locale, and the officials are standing around looking at their watches, while a few dozen audience members are in a relatively safe location, nearer to the entrance of the recycling center.
... And Sakura Kasugano is surprisingly early, as she didn't want to invoke the ire of her, uh, teammate. She kinda dislikes the guy, really, but she's determined to keep a happy face on just the same. Happy, and scared. Yeah. "This won't be so bad, right?" she mumbles to herself, scratching the side of her cheek. The Taiyo student just wants this battle over quickly!
M.Bison is driving a forklift. He comes out behind Sakura with a half empty 4th of Old Turkey in his free hand. His other hand cheerfully veers fro stick to button to stick, causing the thing to veer around crazily. "Hey sweetcheeks. Let's win uh huh. If we don't I'll give you one hundred dollars and I won't skull fuck you. I'll be too busy skullfucking the blonde kid." He giggles and tucks the whiskey between his legs, pulling out a bullhor ne presses the button and holds it to his mouth, "Hey Kurow if I win I just skull fuck the blonde kid. Capiche? that's italian. I mean you ain't stupid right?"
Kurow, having arrived early to this particular Saturday Night Fight shindig, is sitting on top of one of the (presently closed) compactors; when Bison addresses him, he glances down toward the boxer for a second, and then decides on the best possible course of action in this situation. That course of action, of course, is to ignore him completely. He's all talk, Kurow reasons; as such, it's best to just let him run his mouth, without responding one way or the other. He pulls his clawed gloves on, jumping down off the compactor, and takes a position about ten feet away from the pair of opposing fighters, but notably closer to Sakura than the forklift-driving boxer.
Ryo Sakazaki is not particularly happy of this match setup. Oh, sure, he get to fight this demented boxer again, which is kinda a plus, but the bad part is that he has to team up with Kurow AND fight Sakura.
Plus, in an high dangerous environment that leads to easy 'accidental' deaths.
The Invincible Dragon is standing some distance away from Kurow and facing mostly the crazy boxer than Sakura. Not offering a glance to his 'teammate', Ryo thrusts out his arms and shift into his trademark battle stance without any further words.
This is gonna be rough.
Well, that's certainly... incentive for Sakura to win, isn't it? The thought of disappointing her fans compels the girl to keep a stiff upper lip! "Uh... yeah! That's awesome! You're a gentleman and a scholar, sir!" Riiight. Kasugano looks helplessly over to Ryo and Kurow -- for once she would actually =prefer= to be on the ninja's team!
Kasugano receives a nod from the officials, and throws her fist up triumphantly. Just forget there's a psycho killer on your team, girl. "Right! So let's get this thing started!" The schoolgirl jogs out to the center of the floor, putting as much distance between her and that forklift as possible, and shakes a fist at Ryo. "I know it's gonna be tough fighting me and all, since we were teammates before... but try to make a good show of it!" Winking back to the Kyokugen fighter, she gives Kurow a quick glance: yeah, she knows he's there. But she's ready! She gives one more glance to the announcer -- who could very well start this fight at any moment!

Looking to his teammate briefly, Kurow nods, and it's not another second before the announcer signals the start of the battle. It's not a problem for the youth to slip instantly into his full battle stance, and with that, he joins the battle... at least, in spirit, if not in explicit face-pounding action.
Why's that, you ask? Well -- it has to do with, specifically, where he's positioned himself in the recycling center. Taking his place at a control panel, he starts to tap a few buttons; using the environment in such a manner may be dirty pool, but Kurow doesn't particularly care. A few seconds later, a crane drops a massive cube of crushed aluminum directly behind the other team, severely cutting their options off -- and giving Ryo an opportunity to really punish the other team right off! When he finishes, Kurow gives Ryo a clawed thumbs-up.

Ryo knew that he'd probably hate this battleground. It wont really allow for a pure clean battle! Fists and kicks shall be sullied by some 'traps' laid out by the competitors!
Kurow does his thing and blocks off any escape for the opposing team. That does not matter -- Ryo was already well on his way to charge Bison and Sakura, a wide grin aimed at the latter. "Belive me, I don't intend to hold back! You better not be either!"
The Raging Tiger's offense is pretty simple right now. It is simply lashing out his hands to grab Sakura by the arms and flip her over his shoulder to SLAM her on the ground behind him.

Good, clean battles are overrated anyway. That is to say, sometimes they can get pretty boring! But Sakura probably won't have time to worry about that now. Stuff being slammed down? Well, gee, that sucks! It also scares the bejeezus out of Sakura, giving Ryo time to lurch forward and grab for her arms. "H-hey now!" she stammers, "What happened to dinner and a movie?!" And then, wham! She gets slammed to the ground. Oof!
The girl doesn't stay down for long, though, shaking her head out dizzily. Not the best way to start a fight! But while she stands, she slams her hands forward, hoping to open up a blossom of chi right up into Ryo's torso. "HADOOOOOUKEN!" She hopes Bison has better luck with Kurow...
M.Bison just smiles. It's a big dopey what a wonderful life I lead kind of smile. And his eyes kind of drift off into space as he dives forewards to imdecently place his hands a little too low around Sakura's hips as he helps her get up and drops to his knees to stabilize her as she busts out the chi powers. But he keeps the comments to himself at the moment. Then with a casual shrug and a look around to make sure no one is looking (?) he gooses her, just the once.

Kurow averts his eyes a little when he sees Bison... well... be Bison; it's kind of a mercy he's not the one getting assaulted, as he definitely wouldn't be able to deal with both events at the same time. He ends up just shrugging it off, however, as he joins the fight properly; rather than go for Sakura /again/ the way he did last time, the youth targets the man whose style he knows better. He goes in for M. Bison.
With a quick, flat lunge, the Kirishima-style ninja tries to drive a clawed hand into the other man's chest; if his claws find purchase, he gives them a twist before doing a wide, hard slash, trying to knock Bison over in the process.

As Sakura stands up, Ryo was waiting for he to do juuuust that. She's a 'student' of Ryu, after all. What Ryu is mostly known for? Spamming fireballs. A lot of them. A /whole/ lot of them.
What's the better way of responding to a fireballer than to throw a fireball of your own, too?
"KO'OU KEN!" The Raging Tiger lets out, relasing a large blue-chi fireball that completly obliterate the Hadouken and continue it course toward Sakura.
Also, he have a feeling that some real hurt might be coming down on him imminently

Well, Sakura didn't expect =that=, to say the least! Her mouth opens wide with surprise -- but with Ryo meeting her fireball with one of his own, she really has to fall back on instinct. Really, any logic she had disappeared once she realized it was Bison behind her! But there's no time to worry about that now... Cheeks flush with embarassment, she slams her hands forward again, a blossom of chi erupting from her hands, engulfing the Ko'ou Ken whole, and continuing on towards him! No shout, this time -- everyone should get the picture!
M.Bison continues smiling, and points at Ryo, "Hahaha, the girlie's got better powers than you, and you're the homo. Wait, " he turns to Sakura with a slightly confused look, "You're not one of them thespians are you? No, Shakespeare's not your thing?" He blinks he has no idea what he's talking about for a second. Oh right.
WHAM! Kurow smokes him with a couple quick gashes across his chest, he doesn't even see it coming. He shrugs it off though growling and hulking his muscles out impressively. "JUST TRY IT I WILL SKULL FUCK YOU!"

Kurow has seen M. Bison flip out and start gearing up for a hard strike enough times to know what's coming -- and to know that he really, really doesn't want to be on the other end of said strike. Thus, he resolves, the best thing he can do is hurt Bison as much as possible /now/ so he doesn't have to deal with him doing this for much longer. Sakura and Ryo's fireball battle, of course, gets a little less attention paid to it.
Locking his eyes on the weaker points in Bison's defense, Kurow lunges in and goes for a series of hard strikes at various pressure points on Bison's torso with his elbows, then slides his leg at the boxer's, trying to send him tumbling.

One again, there is one thing that the Antsanu...Ansatsuk...Ryu and his groupies are good for, it's fireballing people. Ryo, once again, learns this much to his detriment.
The Raging Tiger didn't even bothered to throw another fireball back. He just knew he couldn't overcome that one with the means he had currently. Thus, he opted for a more risky, but rewarding, option: avoiding it.
Unfortunately, it was way too large to avoid.
"URRNG!" Sakazaki grunts out, falling to the ground and immediatedly flipping back up, a grin on his face despite the pain. "Nice one, there!" He says, a wellspring of bright golden chi surrounding the Heir of Kyokugen as he recharges himself. Plus, think of something.

By the time her Hadouken is out of her hands, Kasugano's regained some of her senses back. Even though her cheeks are still a rather intense shade of red when she whips her head back towards Bison. "Geez, what the heck's your problem, anyway? I was getting up just fine!"
But then she senses a ninja at three-o-clock, and leaps back and out of Kurow's way! "H... hey, yeah, you two have fun, I got a Sakazaki to finish owning!" Smirking a bit, she scrambles off to Ryo, grinning madly. Her last fight by his side wasn't the best, but she's glad she's making a comeback now! "Thanks! And here's another one for ya!" But instead of whipping out another Hadouken, she sticks to something more traditional -- running at him full-tilt, and hurling herself into a high-speed jump kick, aimed at kicking Ryo right back into a pile of recyclable trash! "Hyyyyaaaaah!"

M.Bison shakes his head crazily, and goes, "Boo. Heebee bbeeebee BLAARGHLEFLARGLEBLURGLENUNNNNGGG!" he then begins giggling uncontrollably, pushing forewards into Kurow at a dead run, poking repeatedly with his right hand before smacking an underhanded left uppercut to the gut. "You can't handle the buffalo kiddy. You CAN NOT HANDLE IT! " Then after a brief second he adds, "Cuz of your eye sockets are too small. Hyaaaa haa haa."

The harsh blow hits Kurow squarely in the chest, leaving him badly wounded and probably with at least one cracked rib -- after just one punch, no less! He decies to leave Bison alone for now, after /that/ -- maybe he'll consider trying something like that again after Sakura falls. Yes, he thinks -- that's safest. M. Bison is crazy and not worth expending the energy to take down fast.
So, naturally, Kurow does the smart thing and aims himself for Sakura. In a move that Sakura has no doubt seen a thousand times now, the youth leaps toward her and goes for a series of wide, vicious swipes at different angles, trying to power through her like he's done before. What works once /should/ keep working, he reasons, as he puts everything he can into those hard slashes.

The after mentioned Sakazaki frowns faintly, his eyebrows furrowed in dissaproval as Sakura close in and lash out a pretty nasty kick aimed at him. Ryo does not even try to dodge or avoid it: he takes it, dead on, without flinching.
"Don't speak so hastly, Sakura!" Are the last words from the Raging Tiger before he blurrs into motions, a litteral flurry of kicks and punches being lashed out at the teenager, all of it being suddenly finished off by a brutal flying uppercut

Well... at least Bison isn't embarassing Sakura at the moment. Problem is, both Kurow and Ryo are unified in their attempts to embarass Sakura through their respective shows of force. Kurow... yes, Sakura knows that move well. She tries to get out of the way, but with Kurow getting stabbity on one side and Ryo getting punchity and kickity on the other... well, poor Sakura's right in the middle of that. Anyone off the street would easily be killed, but Sakura's strong! She can take the punishment!
... Y...yeah, maybe that's correct, maybe not. She doesn't =look= very alive when Ryo uppercuts the girl so hard she flies right into the giant magnet on a crane lift, used to ferry iron into the smelting rig. It's a large, heavy flat surface... and Sakura slams right into it at high speed.
She's not magnetic, so she falls. On her face.
... The thought of what Bison would do to her for losing gives her wings, though! Springing back to her feet, she tosses a half-hearted scowl at Kurow, "Hey, knew I could count on you!" But she's busy charging at Ryo. "I see your uppercut, and raise you! One..." Here she tries to uppercut him in the jaw! If she manages this, she'd land quickly, and then hammer another two more into him! "Two! And three!" And if she'd be so lucky, she'd really like to knock him into the pile of aluminum cans, that'd be fun.
M.Bison cackles mercilessly running past Kurow and Ryo as they focus on Sakura. "TIME FOR A BONUS ROUND!" He then ducks, spins, stands up, claps his hands, ducks, spins two times, pops back up again and with a final spin tries to put a right hand jab, deep deep DEEP into Ryo's temple. "POP POP POP! Kelloggs rice krispies nigger! That's how I skullfuck a man, with an enormous fist. wrapped in a glove. " He giggles some more. "I wear the gloves to keep my power levels under 9000." he cackles again, his usual Hyaaa Hyaa Hya!
Rolling his neck, Kurow looks at the severely injured Sakura and then the relatively hale and hearty Bison; he decides to go with what his ninja training tells him and pick off the more injured one rather than advance again on the one who's still going strong. Concerted effort -- evidently, /Ryo/ knows what that means, which is a boon for, at the very least, his own team. If not, unfortunately, for Sakura.
Reaching down, Kurow picks up a length of pipe that no doubt fell out of some recycling bin or another on the way to its eventual melting; he gives it a quick twirl, before holding it like a sword. He knows a -little- sword skill, if not much -- and that skill may yet serve him well, as he rushes in on Sakura and goes for a hard 'slash' at her midsection.

Sakazki find himself in a rather perticular situation. Stuck in sandwich in bettewn two vicious attacks is never a situation that a fighter want to be into.
Thus, Ryo has to act quickly.
First, he bounce away from the punching charge, evading it completly and pretty smoothly. Unfortunately, his movement threw him straight into Sakura's attack. It's obivious that it dealt an horrible number on the older man even if he prepared to receive the blow somewhat. Doubly so as Sakazaki get throw on the ground as an aftermatch of this onslaught.
He struggled back to his feet, ready to give a retailation but Kurow was...apparently quicker than he was. Sounds like it shall be the Mad Boxer that shall be on the reciving end of a flying kick! "HIEN SHIPPU KYAKU!"

M.Bison smirks and lifts his hands triumphantly above his head. "Wait, I said there was a bonus? WHERE IS THE BONUS?" Bison suddenly rushes Ryo he waggles his fist about in circles braggishly before delivering that big olive glove to Ryo's chin. "That's for my car you sloppy ho'! You win a prize! I'll boink your skull free of charge!" He tries to line it up so maybe if it knocks him out, he'll just go flying into that open crusher. Maybe.
So yeah! Sakura shows Ryo how to uppercut, just like she showed him how to fireball earlier in the match! Take THAT, you Sakazaki copycat! ... Of course, Kurow shows everyone how to completely bash the crap out of a Taiyo student, time and time again. It's like rock-paper-scissors, really!
But with Kurow taking a lead pipe to Sakura's midsection, well... with her still badly bruised and sliced up from before, there ain't much chance of her knocking him out of that. She flies to the side, practically tossed on top of a bucket loader, skirt flown up out of the way for all to see. SCANDALOUS. ... But =wow= that was anticlimactic, has Sakura ever been knocked out so fast, =on camera?= Someone, somewhere, is keeping count, surely!
And Kurow yet again gets ignored in favor of the Kyokugen-ryu heir. This is, of course, fine by him -- he's starting to realize that, in Saturday Night Fight, being ignored is very often a winning strategy! After all, it means people aren't paying attention when you drop out of the sky to murder them with stabbing and whatnot!!
Speaking of dropping out of the sky and murdering people, Kurow leaps up to the trash compactors again; he uses this fine opportunity to survey the area as thoroughly as possible, keeping abreast of everything that goes on between Ryo and Bison. He needs to know the -exact- moment at which he should strike, and this is, of course, the ideal way to find out.

Despite his best attempt, Ryo get hit dead on by Bison's skull smashing straight. Not enough to floor him, but more than enough to make him sumble back. He's on his last leg that's for certain.
Probably knocked him around enough to make him rethink his strategy for a brief second, readjusting his gi and belt. Even a Raging Tiger needs a little breather now and then.

It looks like M. Bison isn't the only one who's all chuckles tonight. As the boxer starts to make chicken noises and cackle, Kurow just closes his eyes and rears a hand back. He needs to visualize this if it's to work. He needs to know it inside and out -- it's the only way it's going to connect.
He moves around the recycling plant turned arena, trying to find an ideal vantage point; he sees one from which he can get at M. Bison's exposed back, and from there, leaps down, aiming his claws at the back of M. Bison's thick, meaty neck. It is made of delicious, exposed candy. But how will Kurow sample this delicious candy that M. Bison keeps popping up and exposing?! Well, Mike Bison, you're about to find out.
There is very few things that Ryo can resist.
One of them are fermented beans. The most delicious of meals, Sakazaki's little guilty pleasure.
But here it is not about food -- this is another thing that the Tiger just can't resist: flipping cars over people that are hiding behind them.
Thus, letting out a mighty battle scream, Ryo charges straight for the junked car M.Bison is doing the funky chicken behind of and TACKLES it, hopefuly hard and fast enough that it'll flattens the mad boxer too!

M.Bison can't do anything about Kurow, he doesn't even see the guy coming. And it knocks him down a lot, in fact he's pretty sure that claw puncutred a lung. Blood bubbles out of his mouth a bit, but he doesn't let that get to him, as Ryo crumples the car into Bison's burly form, Bison punches /through/ the window and the frame into Ryo's face. "POP POP!" he yells. And then struggling to regain his breath, he reaches into the car to find his stash of Red Minotaur energy drinks and he pops one off quick. *KLIKT* /fssssht/ "Aaaaaaah"
When Bison finds himself briefly held by Kurow, the youth begins to rip the chi out of his body; he doesn't get a very good grip on Bison for some curious reason, and he has no problem pulling himself off of the claws to deal with Ryo's car, especially since Kurow, at the same time, leaps /back/, avoiding the car.
This puts him in a good position to -continue- striking, at least, and as such, he stays at M. Bison's back, this time going for a quick grab; if it works, he'll give Bison a good toss toward Ryo, hopefully setting the Kyokugen fighter up for a good strike -- if he's still up for one, anyway. Kurow hasn't looked yet; of course, he is notorious for teammate disregard.
Ryo Sakazaki is not down. He's not dead, and he'll never surrender!
Except, of course, if he get punched dead on by a wrecking train. THROUGH a window.
As such, the blond haired warrior is /flying/ high, sky high, refusing to simply GIVE up! He's wide awake, and it's not a punch that's going to KO him! "KO'OU KEN!" Ryo screams, throwing a fireball down at Bison and waiting to land.
He does. Straight into the trash compactor. Or at least, on the very edge of it.
It hurts, and Ryo wont be getting up soon enough again to help in the fight.
COMBATSYS: Ryo can no longer fight.

M.Bison manages to do his favourite trick, the ninja dodge, stepping aside the fireball goes wide, and smashes the car up even more. As Bison is busy yelling Bonus Round! "SKULL FUCK YAAAAA!" He turns and tries to drop his trademark brutal headbutt upon Kurow's rushing form, and takes a claw to the gut, sprays bloody spit all over Kurow and drops to his ass. "I'MA KILL YOU!"
When Bison spits up blood on Kurow, he actually does recoil a little; it's not so much the blood, though, as it is being spit on. That's hands-down one of the worst feelings ever. He wipes the various bodily fluids off his uniform with the side of his hand, and narrows his eyes at M. Bison. Cracking his knuckles once, he says, "You'll certainly try."
With a quick motion, Kurow tries a variant of one of his signature techniques; black balls of chi briefly surround his arms as he pushes forward with a series of wide sweeps with his arms, clawing Bison both with those claws and with his chi-surrounded arms. It's a very different variety of Yasha Guruma, it seems -- it's almost like boxing gloves made of Demon Wheel!
He's trying to box you, Bison. You know what to do.
COMBATSYS: Kurow successfully hits M.Bison with Yasha Guruma.
-* CRITICAL HIT! *-

M.Bison 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|==-----\-------\0 Kurow
M.Bison gasps and takes Kurow's punch to the face. He can't believe it, he doesn't even know what's going on. His springloaded right arm fires automagically before he collapses, there's nothing he can do.
COMBATSYS: M.Bison can no longer fight.

|==-----\-------\0 Kurow
With a quick twirl to the right, Kurow pries himself out of the path of M. Bison's massive strike. Once again the last man standing, Kurow allows himself a brief victory pose, claws flared out in front of him like something off the X-Men DVD cover, with a short laugh. "Worthless," he says. "Absolutely worthless."
He then remembers, however, that M. Bison had made some rather... pointed threats about Sakura and the 'blond kid'. He quietly slides the car Ryo'd used earlier over M. Bison's unconscious form, leaving him to deal with that when he wakes up; he then looks to Sakura and Ryo, considering. On the one hand, Ryo is probably someone he'd do better to build relations with. On the other hand, Sakura is in the area he has to deal with primarily.
He decides to leave Ryo to his fate, and meanwhile, picks up Sakura, carrying her toward the SNF officials. Amazingly, there is no funny business involved.
