Description: The Odd Couple: In the Southtown Mall, Alan and Makoto square off against Hideo. He asserts that Alan and Makoto need to treat each other better as a couple; Alan asserts that Makoto's hands are enormous; Makoto mostly asserts punching. Guile asserts that everyone isn't adhering to the match setup as they should, and also that Alan is a son of a bitch! (Draw Match)
Not only has Guile somehow managed to get himself somehow involved in some sort of pointless fight between a teacher and some kids over the dumbest possible reasons, he's also finding himself kept waiting for the contenders to even show up. Walking out around the open area of the mall, half a cigarette hanging in his mouth. The soldier makes his way over toward one of the cart vendors lining the paths and orders himself a snocone, complete in red, white, and blue colors, tossing the cigarette to the ground and grinding it out with his boot before making his way to an empty bench. "Ten minutes and I'm leaving..."
Makoto is not late. She's never late.
She is, however, occasionally distracted. She's not too far away from Guile, but has been ducking in and out of stores while waiting. Despite that, she hasn't purchased anything. Maybe she doesn't have the money.
Alan has in fact been there wating with Guile the entire time, chainsmoking just as hard as he ever could. However, with his hands tucked in his pockets, his head tilted down as though asleep, and the signature lightning bolt unformed from his hair, he was probably completely unrecognizable. To be fair, he didn't actually notice Guile was there to begin with, simply because he didn't care.
"What's the matter, brushtop? Stood up?"
And as for the last piece of the puzzle, Hideo Shimazu can genuinely say that he -is- late, and he is late by choice! Neither shopping malls nor fighting arenas are areas that the aging Justice High teacher finds himself comfortable with. He just seems to keep finding himself swept away with the tide of age. But despite all of this, he's still making his appearance, knowing that he has to do whatever he can to give Justice High at least some publicity, seeing as it's trying to extend past its 'Megalomaniacs' niche. In fact, he's so dedicated to his school that he's even wearing his work wear, tie and nerdy glasses included. Not only that, but he's got those goofy looking shoulderpads on him, too! He quickly shifts through the crowd, scanning his competition and then sizing them up with a look. ... and with that look, a visible frown. You feel that, Makoto and Alan? Can you feel the middle aged man JUDGING YOU?!
Great, some punk, he's taking two minutes off for that. Guile stands up from his spot on the bench, eyes locking on Alan's without even knowing he was one of the reasons he was here, "I'm here for a fight, not to listen to some underachieving thug talk crap. I don't have time for an amaetuer match, either, so why don't you just leave me alone, alright?"
Then Hideo makes the scene, for a moment being just glances over until those shoulderpads catch his attention. There's no way two people in the world could have a fashion sense that would be so horrible... well at least not in the same way. The soldier makes his way over toward the teacher, simply leaving Alan behind as he does. "You're that Hideo guy, right?" He lifts the snocone up to his mouth and finally takes a bite out of the icy treat, "You're late, but not nearly as late as those two kids."
"I'm right /here/," Makoto objects, having come out of the store just in time to hear that. It's pretty obvious that she's a fighter, with with the gi, and the scarf is at least reasonably unique. She doesn't know what Alan looks like, though, so she doesn't point him out. He is on his own!
She seems immune to Hideo's judging because she's judging him, too. That is one ugly teacher. And what's up with the shoulderpads?
Alan grandly pulls one boot from where it was crossed over the other, standing quickly from his position and slipping his hands out of his pockets. He does this in response to hearing Hideo's name, having basically ignored Guile completely. Lightning crackles around his hand as he reaches up to his hair, pulling a lock down. When he's done, well, there's that lightning bolt. His other hand comes up with his sunglasses, and hey, there's Alan R. B., just like all the pictures. "Nice to see Shoulder Teacher has arrived. What took you so long, are those things two hundred pounds and dragging you down? Maybe you should get like a chauffer or something."
He then turns and looks Makoto up and down. "Aw, holy jesus, look at your hands." That's all he's got to say.
Of course, Hideo's not exactly unfamiliar with wisecracks in the case of his shoulderpads. But the sight of the two younger fighters is enough to form a scowl on Hideo's face. But the first thing's first. "I apologize." he says quickly but in a genuine tone, bowing slightly towards the American. And with that, his head swivels over to Alan and Makoto. "So you two are my opponents? I'll say this only once. If you want any hope of beating me, you're going to have to learn unity. I can tell you right nowl, that neither of you stand a chance on your own." he says confidently, yet in a matter-of-fact voice. "... So you better start repairing your relationship and respecting each other's wishes." He commands. ... what? Apparently Hideo is also a fill-in afternoon talk show host along with being a karate expert and teacher. At that point, he squares his legs, and gives a brief 'Come Forth' gesture with his right hand before curling both into fists and bringing them towards his body, signalling his readiness.

Takes one look back toward the punk from earlier, scowling slightly, but it's rather hard to tell the difference between that and his usual expresion. Without another word, Guile takes a few steps out of the center of the action, standing off to the side and looking on with a near complete lack of intrest while taking another bite out of his snocone.

Makoto looks at Alan and restrains herself from smacking him for that one. He's your teammate, she thinks to herself. Don't hit your teammates. That's bad sportsmanship.
When Hideo speaks, Makoto looks blank again. Maybe she didn't catch all the pre-fight billing. Does she even own a TV? "I've never met him before in my life," she says, quite matter-of-factly and quite honestly. She doesn't lie well, so it would be obvious if she was.
Honestly, she's less interested in defending herself verbally and more interested in doing so physically. This is a fight! Treat it like one. She's the first to actually move forward, attempting a straight punch for Hideo's chest with a good deal of force behind it - right, in fact, for the center of the awful tie.
Alan snorts. Well, snorts is not quite enough. Alan releases a thunderstorm of derision an scorn in a single mighty nasal exhalation, as he gestures between himself and Makoto. "Oh come on, Shoulder-Sensei, you actually think I'm with her? What, look at me, and look at her." He takes a big drag of his cigarette. "I piss style and sweat sexiness, I can do so much better." He rolls his neck, hops a few times on the balls of his feet, and then moves.
Electricity crackles all across his body as he darts forward, moving faster than a regular person even has a right to, a cocky grin on his face. He knows how to fight in a group, keeping out of Makoto's way, but appears more willing to fight as two separate entities. He hops back a step to keep his distance, suddenly flicking his hand out and snapping his fingers. "Strike!" A bolt of yellow lightning cracks across the distance to Hideo - and almost immediately Alan's hand is snapping back out again. "Twice!"

Hmm. Hideo may be mistaken in his assumptions. But at the same time, it doesn't particularly matter. The two fighters may know every tactic that comes in the book when it comes to fighting in a group, but Hideo still feels they lack unity. Their apparent disdain for each other is all the more reason for the Justice Japanese Teacher to view them in a condescending manner! But he doesn't have time to voice his opinion immediately, as he's got a fist to deal with. He quickly lifts a forearm, blocking the blow from its intended target but sending Hideo sliding back a short distance due to the fact that Makoto is a -bit- stronger than Hideo initially believed. At the same time, Hideo catches glimpse of an electric bolt heading straight for him, shifting his body to the side. "Fool! Never take the initiative when you don't have a plan to begin with!!" he yells, before he ducks away from the second bolt. In fact, he's ducking right towards Makoto, tucking his arms to the side and creating a brilliant blue sphere of chi, before shooting his arms forward, aiming to launch this chi wave right into the stomach of the karate girl point blank with a passionate cry that only a middle aged but still inspiring teacher can accomplish! "SEIHAKEN!"
Well at least things are getting started, but Guile doesn't see much of a need to jump right in on this whole thing, continuing to just stay back and enjoy his snocone, in all its red, white, and blue splendor. However his eyes have narrowed, his muscles tensing in a barely noticable manner, as if preparing himself for his moment to jump in.

The point-blank Hadouken - excuse me, Seihaken - catches Makoto rather solidly, picks her up and launches her backwards perhaps two yards. She does not actually lose her footing, in a technical sense; she lands on her feet and slides, unable to speak for a moment to defend herself that way.
She launches into an attack as soon as she can move again, leaping into the air and spinning forward; as she does, she sticks one foot out, trying to catch Hideo in the back with her hooking heel strike and jump off after using him as a landing pad.
Alan sneers as Hideo swerves away from his lightning, apparently uncaring of his miss. "I don't need a plan, I live in the moment! Maybe if you had a better sense of the moment you wouldn't've kept us waiting!" Taking his boxing stance, he quicksteps forward, darting right and left like a crazy teleporter. "Just so we're clear, you know I ain't with her, right?"
Unconciously, Alan does coincide this strike with Makoto's - at the time her foot comes for his back, he crouches down and comes in close. Lightning surges around the iron rings on Alan's fingers as he then pops up hard, hand flying right for Hideo's salaryman chin.

The "salaryman" doesn't seem to be too bothered by Makoto's attack. He merely hops forward slightly, barely evading the reach of the foot. Except this time, they actually managed to strategize with each other, even if they didn't mean to! Hideo's disadvantage of age comes into play, as though he tried to prepare something to stop the blow from hitting his face, it ended up hitting him right in the chin anyway, sending him stumbling a few steps back before he manages to square his feet again and stop himself. He seems a bit dazed for the moment. But not enough to let Alan's comments pass! "Only because you two aren't giving each other a chance!! Antagonizing, no matter how you feel about someone, causes nothing but complications, for any healthy relationship!" he explains. ... Though it may be more or less because that last punched knocked enough out of him that he can't really do anything.
Still nobody bothers to to get on with it, leaving this as little more than a simple brawl of two on one. Stuck waiting around in this stupid mall and nobody else even bothers to play their part right. Letting out a slightly annoyed huff, he takes his moment to jump into things, taking a quick step forward and hucking his snocone at the back of Alan's head, not especially liking the brawler, "If you all aren't even going to put on a proper show of things, why the hell am I wasting my time here? Get it on proper or I'm gonna take you all out."
Well, fine, I'll argue!" Makoto says, from her new position, slightly behind Hideo; she's turned to face his back. "I've never seen him before! I certainly wouldn't see him on a regular basis if I had any choice in the matter! So there isn't any relationship, healthy or otherwise!"
There, that's said. Makoto doesn't move to attack again. She's planted her feet instead and is breathing carefully, controlling her power and getting ready for something bigger and better.

"Hey, would you give her a chance? Look at those damn hands! Those things ain't been the business end of a gentle caress since toddlerhood! There isn't anything healthy about that." He spits his cigarette butt carelessly to the side just in time to catch a nuclear goddamn Americone to the back of the head.
The delicious frosty treat, infused with patriotism from the soldier behind him, collides with those bright blond locks on the back of Alan's head, knocking him stumbling several feet. Delicious cherry, vanilla, and blueberry ice spatters across Makoto and Hideo. It sticks there, adding insult to... well, insult.
Alan R. B. pulls the snocone from his head and takes a defiant bite from what's left before tossing it over his shoulder and smirking at Guile. Hey, he's the Chaos Agent, and he doesn't think that it might be personal (which it is). He jerks an eyebrow up at Makoto. "Yeah, you just sit over there and breathe, muscles, I'll deal with this guy." Punching his hands together - the iron rings make a rather wonderful tone - Alan turns back toward Hideo and leaps up, tucking one leg in and going into a somersault. His other heel trails out, describing a perfect circle in the air as he tries to drive it into the top of Hideo's head one, two, three times. "Ring! Of! Thunder!!"

Hideo doesn't really seem to understand Makoto's words very well, and he doesn't seem to be paying attention to his surroundings, either! "It doesn't matter if you know him or not. People should treat each other with the same sense of cooperation. And even if you -did- just meet him, you won't be able to win unless you treat him as if you've known him all your life!" Hideo explains, though given his wooziness from the last attack he might not be making a whole lot of sense right now. He barely notices the snocone slam into Alan's head or the patriotic and deadly blue ice spread to his business shirt, but he does see Alan attempting to land a foot on the top of his head. He quickly raises an arm to block the blow, before raising the other arm doubly fast, delivering a vicious uppercut to send Alan on a nasty return trip.
Finally things start heating up, but it doesn't help Alan one bit. Already having gotten bad marks by badmouthing his trademark flattop before the match, Alan's rather rude behavior in regards to his partner earns further wrath from the long time soldier. Guile quickly dashes into the fray, one hand held back behind his head as he moves, letting it spring forward like a battering ram right toward the side of the punk's head. "Learn to show a lady some respect!"

"Thanks, I will," Makoto says to Alan, slightly snappish, when he suggests she stay put.
She doesn't actually do so for long. A few moments more, and she charges Hideo from the side, fists lashing out - first one near the midline with a rather surprising amount of force behind it, then faster ones to the chest and stomach, and then a pause -
- and then one last hit, upward, to the back of his head. It's angled a bit more vertically than usual; she doesn't want to launch Hideo quite as far away, but instead drop him down near Alan so that he can go to town. "How's THAT for working together? SEICHUUSEN GODANZUKI!"
Alan R. B. knows that people don't like him. He is fully aware that his sharptongued demeanor results in a lot of bruised egos - and also bruised hims when he mouths at the wrong people. For god's sake, a few days ago he mouthed off to Akuma himself and got kicked through a helicopter. However, something within him - his darkest demon - prevents him from being a kind, respectful man.
Alan lands from his blocked technique just in time to, for the briefest of instants, see Hideo and Guile both coming at him. He sees an instant in which he can react and does, lightning crackling around him as he flings himself up and back, performing a textbook backflip that Balrog would admire the gracefulness of.
Hideo's uppercut and Guile's freight train strike Alan in the back. He's torn from the air and sent hurling high up into the air, clearing the tops of the outdoor mall's buildings. He curses liberally and unintelligibly as he twists through the air... and begins to come back down, falling behind a store facade and out of sight.
There is a loud shattering from the nearby clothing store's skylight as Alan plunges through it, and a loud clattering as he falls into a rack of clothes. If one looks through the window they see Alan thrashing his way free, covered in lacy undergarments. He tears a bra from his head, a collection of panties from his chest, and then just collapses onto the floor. He's not out - breathing quite heavily, in fact - but he's certainly not coming out right yet.

Oh hell. Apparently Makoto subscribes to the line of thought that involves snippy comments and then massive punches to the body. But fortunately, Hideo is quick enough this time to bring an arm up and block the initial blows. But unfortunately, that last attack contains enough power that it sends Hideo high into the sky, despite throwing his arm in the way first and stopping it from its intended target. He flies backwards, almost dazed at the power the girl contains. ... But he seems to be quick enough to twist his body in midair into an upright position, and hopefully land on the ground. Only he's not landing on the ground, it seems, but rather Alan!
Seeing the rest of the fight sent flying, and not feeling particularly fond of dropping back out of things, Guile turns his attention toward Makoto, "I believe I said something about making proper arguements while you're fighting. If you call that an arguement, you're really out of touch." The military man rushes right at her, arms extended to either side as he attempts to encircle her waist while spinning her around, pull her up onto his shoulder and then, with an impressive kick, launch himself far higher into the air than seems reasonable for such a big man carrying her additional weight. If all goes according to plan, Guile comes slamming back down to earth in a low crouch, bringing Makoto's back down onto his shoulder with the full force of the drop before tossing her aside.

Makoto prepares to chase after Hideo before Guile manages to grab ahold of her. She flails once or twice, but ends up going down and around and plastered across Guile's back rather than squirming free.
She gets back up after she's released, a bit woozy but still ready to fight. "I don't argue well!" she says, truthfully, before almost vanishing; she's just running fast so quickly that she almost seemed to be in two places at once, and did blur rather noticably.
Her destination: Hideo, where she stops dead, transferring the entire force of her running body through her knuckles and, hopefully, into his delicate side.

Air rushes from Alan R. B.'s lungs as the teacher just all the goddamn hell lands right on him. "Huhahahhguaghl!" That's what happens when you try to sass right after being landed on in the solar plexus while in a moment of supreme unfocus. Electric chi roars out from him in a shockwave, hurling racks and stands away from him and clearing the area.
Alan reacts basically on momentum now, pulling his hands up over his head in an axehandle. He relaxes for another second, and then every one of his muscles tense up as he pulls as much chi in as he is capable of, lightning roaring around his hands and brightening the entire store. Bystanders cover their eyes and look away at the rush of power. He slams both hands forward, aiming for any part of Hideo he can reach - it doesn't matter with this much force. At the instant he should strike, a tremendous wave of lightning and thunder blows forth, sliding Alan right across the floor and possibly moving on to blow a chunk out of the wall. Alan's voice can be heard over the peal of noise:
"MUHAAALAAAHH!"

High-momentum punches aren't particularly good for Hideo's hips, these days. And that's right where the punch from Makoto lands, the force sending Hideo practically on all fours, trying to regain his composure. But at the same time, he sees his other opponent start to dash towards him with a massive amount of lightning and the possessed fury of a crazy man. With a last ounce of strength, Hideo, instead of trying to stand up, crouches and tucks into a roll, with Alan flying mere -inches- away from his face. Hideo ends up in a kneeling crouch, and at this point, would probably like no better but to sit there. But it's also apparent that he doesn't have much of a choice in the matter if he wants to get home in at least somewhat good shape tonight. So he picks himself up off of the floor, and slowly turns towards Makoto. He tightens the red fingerless gloves he always seems to wear, before he turns and points at Makoto. "You lost your advantage. The youth always seem to have the misconception that they are by themselves invincible. I doubt that's what you really thought, but your refusal to cooperate has cost you." he lectures, and then breathes in slowly, before letting out a sharp "OSU!!" and leaping into a high arc, his right foot coursing with a blue current of electric chi before it engulfs his entire leg, aiming land it right on top of the girl's head!!
The flattopped military man lets out annoyed grunt, slamming his fist into an open palm, "I thought I told you all to start playing by the rules. Make your case or get your ass kicked." Guile actually seems to be getting into things a bit, a faint smile crossing his lips, hardly noticable to anyone not used to the stoney-faced man's usual expressions. With that he pulls his hands back, cocking them to either side, suddenly blue chi flaring up around either fist before the let loose. In one motion, moving almost faster than the eye can track, both fists fly forward, pulling out a trail of chi behind them until they come to cross in front of him, forming a large blue disc of chi which shoots out from the soldier's hands, directed right at Hideo. "A teacher of all people needs to understand how to obey the rules or how can they hope to enforce them?"

So his hips are weak, hmm? Makoto smiles, just a little. She thinks she knows how to do this now. "I still have my advantage! I can work with anyone, but I don't always need to - even if I was with him - " She shudders. " - I wouldn't wait around for him to help me! I'd - "
The boot to the head was a little surprising. Shocking, even. Makoto staggers back for a moment, slightly red-faced, before rushing forward. She's not doing as well as she says she is, but she has this left in her at least; she delivers a rapid series of punches and kicks toward Hideo's midsection, trying to force him back and into Guile's chi ring.

After the huge burst from Mjolnir, Alan slides across the floor against the wall. Thump. Electricity stops crackling around his hands and face for a while before starting up again - despite the fact that he's unconcious. What power---!!!
Of course, at this point, the whole argument thing probably isn't on Hideo's mind, considering the fact that he's pretty close to not being able to -move-. So all he can really do to prove his point is to finish this fight as the victor. The flurry of attacks all connect with Hideo, and their intention is met as the last of the blows send him staggering towards the sonic ring of chi. Frankly, it just -messes him up-, too. His body loses all control of itself as the combined attacks toss him into the mall ground, hard. For a few long moments, Hideo barely moves, his breathing labored and his body a mess. But after those few seconds pass by, Hideo once again finds himself picking his body off of the floor. He briefly takes off his thick glasses, now cracked, and throws them onto the floor. And slowly, he moves towards Makoto with a fire in his eye and an ominous glow within his hand. When he finally closes the distance, the gives his opponent a thorough look, before he -raises- that hand with glowing chi, aiming right for Makoto's gut. "I'M NOT DONE!!!"' he yells, simultaneously, and his fist -ignites- with chi and Hideo's entire body -propels- skywards, whether or not he connects with Makoto.

The teacher doesn't seem to learn, and that's not gonna stand with Guile. "I just warned you, dammit!" By this point he's actually doing his best to make things a bit more dramatic for the cameras (wherever they are), having been too long since last he had a fight that wasn't for the fate of the world. Following Hideo's success of failure, he launches himself into the air after him, attempting to wrap his arms around the teacher's waist from behind, lug him over his shoulder, and bring his spine down harshly onto his shoulder as he comes back to earth before simply tossing him to the side.
Well that was unexpected.
Not the attack, Makoto was expecting an attack, but the speed of the attack was a little startling. Her eyes widen a little, an instant before the rising fist catches her, and she rockets upward and almost out of sight.
There is a pause.
It's a long pause.
Then Makoto falls, yelling the whole while, foot-first in an almost perfectly vertical air kick. She follows it with another kick as she falls the rest of the way down, off Hideo if she hit and just to the ground if she didn't - and then, finally, she stays down.
COMBATSYS: Makoto can no longer fight.

Well, that was a pretty clever strategy! And it's evidenced by the fact that the kick makes full contact, and the rest of the blows each hit their intended target, with such speed and precision that the final kick knocks Hideo right out of the path of Guile's backbreaker. He lands in a messy heap, totally out cold for the time being, which is probably a good thing as just about every time he does one of these, he generally needs some -serious- physical therapy.
COMBATSYS: Hideo takes no action.

His target launched clear out of his reach, Guile simply comes back down to the ground, looks over the damage, then pulls out his comb, bringing it up through his a few times to bring it back into perfect positioning. "Disgraceful, all of you couldn't even obey a single little rule, and now you got what you deserve." Stuffing his comb back into his pocket, he makes his way back over toward the snocone vendor, getting another in the American Red, White, and Blue.
COMBATSYS: Guile has ended the fight here.
