Description: Do not Sonic Boom the Lord of Shadaloo in the 'vitals'! :o
[OOC] Vega says, "Log open and started. Want me to set, or do you?"
[OOC] Guile says, "I'll set."
[OOC] Vega says, "Alright, ready when you are."
Unending jungle seems to line either side of the muddy river banks, undergrowth so thick as to be all but impassable, leaving Guile with no other option but to push onward, following the river ever closer toward his goal...
Vega.
The vigilante's face seems to hold a strong, determined expression set like stone even as he finds himself on what seems like an unending journey, the only part of his body not stained with mud and slick with sweat would appear to be his trademark broomtop, somehow managing to stand tall, proud and surprisingly clean.
That's right. There's a bright yellow broomtop trying to sneak its way towards the nearby Shadaloo base. It may actually have not been a bad idea, had someone not recently attacked one of Vega's top aides in the recent past in this vincinity. Now, however, there are others watching, waiting and planning. Notes have been taken, careful instructions laid out - do not interfere, on pain of death/ - and for now, Guile's progress is unmolested.
That can, however, only last for so long. Eventually, things must come to a peak, and the ending must be in sight. For Guile, it would be his objective. A leader, a target - a symbol of all that was wrong and corrupt within Thailand. That man, the head of Shadaloo, Lord Vega. He stands at the gates of the base, simply waiting. The unnerving thing, of course, is the way that he stares in what may seem to be the exact direction that Guile is sneaking his way towards. After all, this is something that even the weakest psychic could see - a interloper, a challenger.
And he is ready.

Could this really be the moment he'd been working toward? This goal finally in reach? Hardly able to believe what he sees in front of himself, Guile wipes the sweat out of his eyes with the back of his hand. His eyes narrow as it comes to him that this really is it, not even quite sure what to do having only barely expected to make it this far.
But he has made it this far, and it's no time to back down now, the heavy weariness in his limbs simply vanishes as he narrows his eyes and lets out a shout, "Vega!" He takes a few steps forward, bringing a hand up to point toward his goal, "You probably don't even know who I am, but I'm here for you. I'll give you one chance to agree to surrender and withdraw your forces before I'll be forced to take action." Not even those with unyielding faith in humanity could be so stupid as to honestly expect a man like Vega to give up in the face of a lone soldier, and Guile quickly draws himself into a ready stance while he awaits the response.
"... Very well. I surrender. Men, lay down your weapons, we have committed a wrong that the world must see. This man's simple declaration has struck me to the quick, and I can no longer do what needs to be done, in my evil reign."
Vega's voice sounds strong enough that some of his men uncertainly start to lower their weapons, looking back and forth with confusion. Lord Vega has done odder things, crazier things - but quitting just because one man has told him to lay down his fight? It's insane! And then, well - Vega starts to laugh, head thrown back in amusement - tears at the corners of his eyes at the hilarity of the 'order'.
"You make bold moves for a lone man in the jungle, whelp. Who do you belong to, and who should I send the remains when this is done and over with?" Vega's body starts to thrum with power as he starts towards Guile, gaining speed and almost blurring as he closes in on the mud-drenched American. The men behind him on the ramparts of the base begin to cheer - Lord Vega is going to show them something they will never forget!
Unless it's a loss. Then he'll kill them. Shh.

The lone soldier is caught completely off guard by Vega's declaration of surrender, his ready stancing weaking as a confused look crosses his face. His speeches hadn't even worked on any of the dictator's fighters, how could it be working on the madman himself?
And it would seem his earlier assumption was correct, although now finding himself not quite as prepared, he at first tenses up anxiously as Vega makes his move, but years of training quickly take over as he works to press the offensive and gain an early upperhand, charging forward at the dictator even as he barrels in on him like a freight train, "I don't belong to anyone but myself, but you can be sure I'll be bringing your ass back to Charlie when I'm done with you! You'll remember the name Guile right up until the day of your execution." Just as he finds himself coming into range, he launches himself up into the air and brings his leg around in a wide roundhouse.

Thundering forwards, Vega doesn't have much a way to move out of the way of the incoming attack. He does not seem to wish to, however, instead focusing directly on taking Guile out with the rushing charge. The roundhouse impacts solidly against Vega's chest, staggering him and sending him off to the side, which makes his rush much less fascinating to watch. As he skids and rebraces himself, he draws himself to his full height, as if laughing off the attack, no matter how much it may have stung.
"Charlie? He still lives after the last time I crushed him beneath my heel? This will be a glorious day, whelp.. And yours will be a demise that I will treasure."
Vega starts forwards, but this time it's measured, paced - and when he lashes out, it's with all the speed he has at his muster, a series of swipes with his fists, the edges of his hands blazing with dark psychopower - the evil aura that Vega claims is his own, and noone elses. He's trying to batter down Guile's defenses - and to see how strong the will that could lead a man this deep into the jungle is.

Even seeing the attack coming, Guile seems almost unmoving, a firm look in his eyes as he stares it down only to find himself go flying as the dictator's fists come crashing into him, rolling out across the mud before coming to a halt nearly ten feet away, coated all the more in the thick mud of the riverbank and yet still his hair remains surprisingly clean. For a moment a look of fear can be seen crossing into the soldier's eyes as he pulls himself back up to his feet, quickly pulling himself back together, "Charlie's still around and the likes of you won't be able to get rid of him or me. No matter how much power you bring against me, I swear I'll see you defeated!" He lets out a loud battlecry as he rushes forward, lunging for Vega in an attempt to grab his arm and launch him across his shoulder and out into the river.

Only ten feet away.. Vega must be slipping. He is, however, not planning on being taken advantage of so easily. He laughs as Guile starts to come in at him, and consequences and choices flit through his mind as the American reaches out. Crush him where he stands, or simply play along, to retaliate at the right time..?
"In a thousand years, perhaps! But not... " Vega's voice is cut off as he allows Guile to grapple him, the throw over Guile's shoulder towards the riverbank half-planned, and a burst of psychopower orients him and allows him to land on his feet, prepared for the next motion. He continues talking as if nothing had occured, and to him.. well, did it?
".. Today!" That said, he lurches forwards, pulling his arm back behind him and then rocketing it forwards in something akin to a baseball player hurling a fastball - but nowhere, nohow does a fastball look like this. "Psycho... SHOT!" The 'ball' is the size of a basketball, and it glows and erupts with that same feared energy - the fruit of his mind, Psychopower!

The hint of a smile creeps at the edges of Guile's mouth as he finds Vega in his grasp, holding back the urge to let out a cheer as his presumedly successful retaliation goes through. Quickly turning to keep his eyes on the mad dictator, his spirits start to drop more quickly than Vega's slow decent toward the ground. Already feeling his spirits hit rock bottom, the sight of Vega's oncoming attack makes them subterranean. His arms pull up in front of him in an attempt to ward off the ball of strange energy, but it blasts right past his guard, sending him crashing in a rather painful-looking manner across the ground in a manner similar to a skipping stone.
But it would seem that the soldier's not done quite yet, managing to push himself up off the ground once more, his hands pulling into tight fists as he narrows his eyes at Vega, "It doesn't matter if you break my bones or my body, you're never going to break my spirit. I'll see you defeated even if it costs me everything!" He launches himself forward with incredible speed before launching into a frenzied assault of punches and kicks moving nearly faster than the eye can see.

Vega brings his arms up, keeping them crossed against his face and shoulders. The battery of punches and kicks weaken his defense, but do not break through, the Shadaloo Lord left standing at the end of the assault, pushed back but not over, bent but not broken. He's breathing hard, the exertion of the fight making him overcommit, his blank white eyes showing a hint of wooziness already.. fatigue? Such is the might of Vega, prone to wearing out far too quickly. But still, the battle is not nearly over.
"We shall see, we shall see. Come on, /again/, Guile. Show me this spirit you speak of." With that, he brings his foot around in a low sweep kick, only changing it at the last second, rechambering and lashing it out at the side of Guile's head - perhaps an attempt to finally muddy his hairdo, to mar the thing he seems to care the most about!

[OOC] Vega says, "Ow, sonic boom to the 'vitals'. :o"
Seeing his assault shrugged off brings sets Guile off, anger at being treated like he was nothing starting to build toward a head. His teeth grit down as he pulls himself together, eyes narrowed to slits, "You want to see my spirit, then keep your eyes open, you monster!" Seeing the oncoming assault, and still reeling from his previous attempts at fending them off, the soldier simply cocks his arms back toward either side, muscles tensed as they lock into position, his arms shaking slightly as his tightly curled fists surround themselves with blue chi. As The dictator's kick starts to come in high, his arms launch forward as if whatever was holding them back just snapped, once more blurring as they seem to move at stupendous speed, pulling out a long blue trail behind either one and all of the energy building into a single blue disc as his hands cross in front of him, blasting in low right under Vega's kick as it comes in to collide with the side of Guile's head, sending him once more sliding and skipping across the riverbank... but still the trademark flattop holds defiant, hardly showing signs of any of the battle.
Overconfidence - it's something Vega has a large amount of. And boy, does it come back to bite him once in a while. In this case, the 'bite' takes the form of an surprise blazing attack, chi blasting past his attack and /through/, knocking him off his sole foot and dropping him uncerimoniously into the mud in a very undignified heap. Collapsed there, Vega can do nothing but sputter in surprise and shock, white eyes wide open now, the slow simmer of anger that makes him strong suddenly blazing into life.
"Your spirit is admirable.. I do not think I can crush it. I can, however, ruin your body. This lesson shall be painful.." His grin grows as he gets back to his feet and closes with Guile, only to dissappear in a purple blur, and attempt to clock him from behind with a double-fisted hammer blow to Guile's back. ".. and quick!"

Beaten, battered, and bruised from Vega's unending assault on his body, Guile seems completely unable to muster the energy to deal with the back attack, instead finding himself driving down into the mud, a small crater forming around him as his legs actually sink into the soft surface, his entire body seems to be wracked with pain and barely able to move.
"You... you may win this time, but I'm going to make sure you won't forget this!" Pushing past all of the pain, he manages to get up one last time, pulling his hands back, locked into place, his fists once again surrounding in their brilliant blue aura, seemingly far more fierce this time than before. Once more they launch forward with incredible speed, crossing in front of him and forming a massive blue disc of chi energy which suddenly begins to whirl around the soldier's body so fast as to appear to be nearly a complete circle, the winds swirling around him like a tornado, sucking everything nearby inward.
But then, as the energy begins to fade, Guile drops down to the ground, face first into the mud, his body finally giving out on him.
COMBATSYS: Guile can no longer fight.

To the victor, the spoils. Vega is already preparing for his speech, his glaoting at the victory over one of Charlie's men, and the simple display of his might. Apparently, though - Vega wasn't ready for Guile to give what he gave at the last second. The sudden eruption of blue chi catches Vega off-guard, and only due to a last second interception with a large amount of psychopower, does the head of Shadaloo remain standing.
And there he stays, for a long moment - looking at his downed opponent, uncertain of what to do. He showed Vega to be a mortal, to be 'weak' - and that deserves harsh punishment.. or does it. In an instant, he's made his decision.
"Take this man out of /our/ country! Give him back to the world that needs him, as we do not. Let Lord Vega be merciful, this time - but /only/ this time!" There's a cheer from the minions and soldiers as they file out to do Vega's bidding. But honestly, they would have cheered if he had said to kill Guile too. Not cheering Lord Vega can get you killed.
