Description: While the Sakazakis are out for the weekend, undoubtedly up to something stupid, Hotaru Futaba has been asked to keep the Sakazaki residence and Kyokugen-ryuu dojo from being robbed/gym broken. Luckily for Hotaru, the first malefactor to approach the Dojo isn't, say, a Southtown Syndicate member or some other terrifying foe -- Edge Yamada just decided to show up and paint something stupid over the Kyokugen Dojo's signpost out front. (Winner: Edge)
Oh, those whacky Saturday Night Fight officials. Last weekend, Hotaru was given very specific information about her fight. Where it would be at. How she should dress. Who she would be fighting, and when. But this weekend she was hardly given any information to work with at /all/. Just hang around the Kyokugen Dojo and be ready. Camera crews came by earlier to set up cameras in the courtyard outside and inside, just in case the fight goes there as well. But then they left, telling Hotaru that her opponent would be along eventually.
Hotaru had tried to tell Ryo and Takuma about the event this weekend, but the entire household is off on whacky adventures she can only guess at, leaving her the lone representative to keep an eye on the famous training facility. It's an impressive site from the outside. All of the winnings that any of the fighters here bring in are typically funneled right into the dojo, keeping it in much better condition than one might expect, even if the Sakazaki's are often in financial straights because of it. Sure, there's still the occasional hole in the roof (A lot of strange guests seem to prefer to enter that way) or crack on the cement outdoor training courtyard (Usually because Marco was punching his wrecking ball around the place again), but all in all, it's a well maintained dojo.
Out in front of the wall surrounding the courtyard is an impressive sign, large enough to be seen from the highway in the distance. KYOKUGEN KARATE it reads, with a second line in /much/ smaller letters: 'Learning Through Pain.', the slogan of Takuma's latest advertising campaign...
Not wanting the time to go to waste, Hotaru is idly sweeping the front courtyard, freeing it of dirt and debris. It's nice to keep a tidy dojo after all.
Edge wasn't told anything. In fact, the Saturday Night Fight officials must be psychic, or Edge that predictable. When it comes to thug work, Edge might just be a regular thug in fact. Much of the Gedo High students are thugs, but Edge is one of those crazy thugs. He'll do some of the dumbest stuns that you've ever seen.
Well. Not really dumb, but stunts none the less. And today, he just decided to take a walk. He came prepared ( with a set of different paints, knives, and anything else you could ever need ) stuffed in his baggy clothes. It's a wonder that it fits inside. Edge had, however, a good use for the baggy clothes at least.
Upon actually making his way towards the Kyokugen Karate dojo, he can already see the Saturday Night Fight officials set up. For what? Probably another damn Kyokugen Dojo fight. Edge gritted his teeth. They had a little too much spot light success as of late. Or at least, more than Gedo High.
So, sneaking around a few cameras and lights, he takes towards the impressive sign. Reaching into his vest, he pulls out a small spray paint can of purple paint. Shaking it, he visualises the sign, his canvas! And then proceeds to right 'GEDO HIGH RULEZ' over the front of it. The can should alert Hotaru even before the Gedo is even finished.
Sweep, sweep. Hotaru continues cleaning off the cement covered courtyard, even humming a nifty tune to herself to pass the time. So distracted, it isn't too hard for the Gedo student to sneak up to the sign without her noticing in the slightest.
The distinctive rattle of a spray paint can being shaken is hard to miss, however, and the girl's brow furrows slightly as she glances around the courtyard trying to spot the source of the noise. The hiss of a spray can in use elicits a frown from the girl next, but it's also steady enough for her to identify the location of the noise.
Hefting the broom into her hands, Hotaru stalks toward the sign, becoming more suspicious by the moment. She picks up the pace once she's closer though, running around the other side of it to spot Edge, eyes widening. "Hey!" comes the first verbal warning as pig-tailed girl notices 'Gedo High RU' spelled out on the sign.
No time to chat. The girl lifts the broom over her head and brings it crashing down toward the young punk, "You're going to have to clean that up!" she yells angrily, tending to clock him hard to keep him from just running off.

Edge continued to spray, getting through most of the message. Footsteps of an approaching man or woman allerted him, but he just continued. Right when he's at the two last letters, Hotaru pops out of the dojo and around the sign. When she announces the first warning, Edge stops cold, grasping the can tightly as he looks towards the women.
His response is a simple one. "Hehehehe..." He states, hair still signalling to passing airplanes. However, in this case, it only hampered his movement as he threw himself back, aiming to escape the descending broom coming right for his head. He met someone else that was really intent on clocking him in the head. It didn't go to well. So in this case, he made sure to get out of the way, hair and all. "Hey, I'm not doing anything... unless you're willing to let it all depend on this fight." Edge answered, preparing his own strike.
Without notice, Edge threw himself forward, only to shake the can as he approaches, aiming towards head. "Well?" Edge says with a toothy grin, jamming the depresser down and letting loose a spray of paint right towards Hotaru's face. And it's purple!

One of these days, the girl is going to have to get some weapons training somewhere. As it stands, her use of the broom is horribly unwieldly. When it crashes against the ground at Edge's side, the broomstick itself splinters, indicitive that while she was pretty clumsy with the thing, she wasn't holding back with that swing either!
But her first mistake was thinking Edge a simple hooldum, a no good miscreant that she could either clobber quickly or just chase him off with the wild broom swinging. That he actually wants to fight back doesn't come as a surprise, but the speed at which he does it most certainly appears to catch the girl off guard. "What- ack!" Getting sprayed in the face by the unscrupulous attack, Hotaru drops the broken broom stick to the ground and takes a couple steps back, lifting her hands to wipe at the purple spray with her arms and and sleeve, basically making a painty-mess in the process.
After managing to just streak the paint around some, she gives up, realizing that with how fast the young man was moving, she has to take him seriously too. "Yeah, you got yourself a fight all right!" she replies, clenching her small hands into fists, blue eyes glaring back from behind purple-streaked cheeks.
COMBATSYS: Hotaru focuses on her next action.

Hotaru 0/-------/-----==|-------\-------\0 Edge
The broomstick shatters into spinters where he just had been. That's no good, he thinks to himself. He'll have to keep his wits about him just incase. But for now the damage is done and the paint is all over the girls face, Edge grins and lets out a belly laugh. It was rather a cruel thing to do to her, he had to admit, but the oppertunity presented itself and he couldn't resist.
But as she finally manges to geen the smear off her eyes and managing to smear it all over her clothes, well, it just helped present how Gedo could come up in here and start something. Stir something up. Part of being a thug is showing others that you have power.
Now with Hotaru up and ready to defend herself, not underestimating Edge anymore, he'll have to actually put some thought into his strikes. And for now, well, he just looks back at the spray can in his hands. Then towards Hotaru, and then towards the can again. Slowly looking back to her, he grins. "You asked for it!" Without even finishing the sentance first, the can's already on it's way towards Hotaru.
However, Edge turns for no reason at all. A knife skewers the can in half, ripping through it before heading towards Hotaru with the rest of the paint.

Hotaru 0/-------/----===|-------\-------\0 Edge
Hearing him laugh for the mean prank only incenses the girl further. But she knows that getting worked up just because some kid mean enough to come and vandalize the mighty Kyokugen sign is laughing at her isn't the best way to put her abilities to use. Keep your cool, she keeps telling herself. Use what you've been taught, apply the right skills, deal with this boy like you would any other opponent.
When he up and throws the paint can at her, she's inclined to just avoid it. She's more on the ball now. She isn't as likely to get taken by such a dumb, obvious attack! But just before focusing on the incoming projectile, she notices Edge move as well and her eyes narrow, catching a glimps of the incoming blade just in time. Ack, what a thug!
Deciding he needs a taste of his own medicine, the girl steps forward into a reverse round house, kicking from low to high, a wall of blue energy trailing behind her foot. "KYA!" There is a brief moment where it shimmers, becoming a solid surface against which the knife and splattering paint impact without going forward any further.
But that lasts only a moment. As Hotaru's foot touches the ground and she regains her balance, she reaches forward, pressing her hand against the blue barrier of chi made manifest, causing it to shatter outward, sending the thrown knife and all of the wet, purple paint flying back at Edge! "How about you try some of this out!"

Hotaru 0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0 Edge
Well, Edge doesn't like his own medicine! Can't you tell! Obviously not, since Hotaru sends the knife right back at him. He had no idea that she could do that, but there and then, she did. Taken by surprise, the thug couldn't get out of the way. Instead, he watched the blade reverse direction and strike out at him.
In protest the gang member put up both of is hands only to have it slice right through them. Hands now bloody, he's not in a good mood. The knife even made it past, stabbing him in the chest. He got a taste of his own medicine. Well, that's not right. He'll have to teach this girl a lesson. But first, he's got to remove the knife. And he does. Returning it with the others. He'll save that knife for later.
Now with purple paint all over his face, he does a little war paint design with a few lines. Looking towards Hotaru again, he approaches haphazzardly. "You ever consider that I never wanted any of it?" He responds a little put off by being struck by his own blade. It's like a best friend punching your gut. So instead, he follows up with a quick kick, slowed down only by the paint on his face, and the knife that was in his chest. Only.

It would be hard to NOT be satisfied as the paint splashes all over Edge, giving him a chance to end up in just as much a mess as she is. That he ended up getting hit with his own knife is really secondary of interest to the girl. Resting her hands on her hips, Hotaru smiles back, "You should have thought of that before you decided to spray me in the face! Let alone making a mess on our sign!" she lifts one hand to gesture toward the incomplete message on the famous Kyokugen Dojo sign.
When he comes at her again, Hotaru stops smiling, becoming serious once more. She crouches a little, as if bracing herself to just take his attack. But once he strikes out with that foot his, the girl lunges at him as if intending to slam her shoulder right into his chest - maybe make that knife wound hurt a bit more in the process! "Tenshin-sh- OW!"
All Hotaru manages to do is brain herself on his foot in the end, causing the girl to stumble back a couple of steps, resting her hands on the top of her head where she got hit. Eyes clenched closed, she seems slowed down for a moment at least.
Edge doesn't stop with the kick. It just follows through, from one end towards the other. She seems to be doing something, but he can't tell. Then she literally throws herself towards him. He just keeps the kick going, striking her and sending her back. It's too bad he didn't send her into the sign. That would have been very ironic.
Instead, he approaches the girl slowly, wiping the paint off of his head and onto his coat. He feels his hair and sighs, frowning towards her. "You got paint in my hair." He just says, "Now nothing can save you!" Of course, he's being more dramatic as he almost whispers the last line. She can save herself. He just says that to prove a point. He loves his hair.
But now as she's down and looking rather pained, he rushes over towards her and helps her up. "Hey... be more careful!" He starts, before pushing off the ground, aiming to arc his back and plow her into the ground. "Hehehehehe!"

"Who cares about your crazy hair anyway!" the stunned girl yells back, "It looks a lot like that broom I was using to sweep the floor with before you came along. Now that it's broken, maybe you should pay for that, right after I hold you accountable for the sign and my clothes you've ruined!"
She's starting to get ready to fight back when he rushes forward to pull her up straight. As he tries to drop her back, however, the girl proves to be quite squirrelly, saving herself a bad headache by catching herself with her hands and rolling away from the attempted brainbuster and coming up to her feet a few yards away.
She turns to face him immediately then grins just a little, "Nice try," she offers, "You're pretty tough. But that doesn't mean you're getting out of this!" And with that, she's sprinting back toward him, attempting to grab hold of his arms with her hands. If she gets the leverage she needs, the smaller fighter will end up just stomping her way right up the front of Edge with kicks to his shin, knee, stomach, chest... and when she reaches his shoulders, she'll just backflip away to try and put distance between them.

Edge's brainbuster is stopped! At least mid way, leaving Hotaru the perfect time to take advantage of it! And she does, going right towards him seemingly without a problem. He throws himself towards his feet, and actually presses into the attack, trying to get the advantage on her, but instead, the kicks hit with rapid prosession, one after another striking him in his shin, stomach, chest and shoulders. He's just thrown back! He can't compete!
But he's not out of it yet. The strikes bruise and batter him, but his hair is untouched physically. At least that's still good. As he looks back up towards Hotaru, he shakes his head. "It's very important!" He calls out, answering her question. He doesn't respond to the 'you're pretty tough' comment though. That's something you show, not respond to.
"It's not over yet!" Edge returns, trying to make up the difference in distance quickly as Hotaru lands, aiming to send himself forward with a powerful shoulder strike. He's got a lot of fight in him still.

Hotaru 1/---====/=======|=======\-------\1 Edge
Coming down from the backflip through the air, Hotaru is surprised at how fast Edge manages to cover the ground between them, especially with how hard she was hitting him. Some opponents have been sent crashing to the ground after such an assault. That he's able to not just keep his footing but rush right over to catch her when she lands is a pretty solid indicator of just how tough this kid really is.
Seeing him come at her again, Hotaru crouches slightly, then attempts to leap right out of his path, not confident that she could weather the attack by just bracing for it. But Edge's speed proves too much and his shoulder slam catches her in the stomach just as she was about to make it over him. "Ugh-" she gasps, knocked painfully backward to the ground and rolling over a couple of times before coming to a stop.
Gritting her teeth, she pushes herself up off the concrete quickly. She's taken falls like that before. She can keep going. But the attacks he's landing are starting to add up. Clenching her hands, she tries to regain the breath that was nearly knocked out of her, slipping back into a ready stance to calm herself and regain her presence of mind. Turning such that her side faces him, the girl exhales slowly, preparing to deal with whatever the young man from Gedo has in store for her next.

Stopping right after the blow is made easier by Hotaru getting stuck, and as she fell back for the moment, Edge was on the edge of his feet, digging them into the ground, just trying to catch him balance. Luckily he does, but any attack after that would have probably struck. For the moment though, Hotaru seems to be resting for the moment. Well, unfortunately for her, Edge is just going to keep going.
He keeps tabs on what's going on, how she's seemingly not going after him. Maybe she's waiting for something. Either way, without thinking very much about it, Edge wipes the rest of the wet paint off of his face as he approaches her. His hands duck back into his pants after that. Just a slow walk as he closes the distance as she begins to prepare for whatever Edge can throw at her.
This time, he throws himself. Yet again actually. Throwing himself into the air, the Gedo student performs a quick spin. He starts coming down towards the other side, his foot being raised mid spiral. As he closes in on Hotaru mid spin, his kick begins the descent. The kick might be as sharp as an axe as it descends, aiming to strike the calm of mind Hotaru. "Hehehehehe! Come on, don't let me win this easy! You said you wanted a fight!"

She doesn't get to catch her breath for long as Edge comes in for another attack. She's focusing on him as he takes to the air, but she can't seem to predict the spiraling assault well enough to avoid it in spite her attempts, earning her a swift kick to the head. "Ah!" the girl gasps as she falls to her knees to the side, catching herself with her hands against the ground.
She really can't take much more of that. Already she's looking a bit shakey as she pushes herself back to her feet and faces the young punk from Gedo. He's a lot better fighter than she gave him credit for on first appearances. Gritting her teeth, the paint on her face mostly conceals the red blush of frustration on her cheeks.
"You won't win that easy!" she yells back before leaning forward into a run, her arm out at her side as she lunges forward toward his side at the last moment, attempting to clothesline the Gedo kid in the stomach.

Edge isn't going to wn that easy it seems! As he looks downs towards her after the strike, backing up to try, he only notices one thing. That the women, this women at least, is pretty good. He doesn't voice it at first, that is, until she comes after him with a run. He watches and just throws himself towards the side.
BAD ENDING.
The flying Hotaru clotheslines the Gedo kid, the teen going head over heels quite literally as he moves towards the earth rather quickly. He can almost see his house from here. At least, it looks something like that. He isn't too sure. Either ways, he's just thrown towards the ground. He just does the only thing he really can do for the moment as he cracks against the ground, back flat against it. A squirrel moves for his hair. Looking up towards the girl, he spits to he side. "Ugh... you're pretty good." He starts before shoving his hands out to pick himself up slowly. Reaching back into his jacket, he aims to grab ANOTHER spray paint can before stabbing it towards Hotaru's face. If she's unlucky she'll get hit with the can... and, well. There goes the rest of the shirt.

Regaining her footing after that risky attack of hers, Hotaru narrows her eyes at Edge. Maybe that'll put him down for the count! she muses. And then... it's repercussions time!! But drat, no. He appears to be able to keep on going, now back on his feet. Resting her hands at her hips, Hotaru shakes her head. "You don't know when to quit, do you. Let's see if I can count the number of things you have to pay for now..."
Hotaru holds up her hand, "The sign has to be cleaned. If you can't get the paint off, you have to pay for a new one... There's the broom. That's your fault too. It wouldn't be broken if I didn't have to swing it at you. That's two things..." she counts across her fingers, "Oh yeah, and my clothes! I'll have you know that I have these custom tailored for me, so that's going to cost a lot too! You'll be working for a long time to pay for-"
And then he's coming back at her again with yet /another/ can of spray paint. "Ack!" she gasps, raising her hands up in front of her face in an attempt to intersect the thing. But he gets by her all the same, the strike knocking her back a couple of steps, leaving her open to the rest of Edge's artistic alterations.
Shaking her head, she gasps at the paint on the front of her shirt and vest. "That does it!" she snaps, lunging forward, trying to catch the ghetto artist off guard. It starts with a forward dive into a roll toward his feet. But she comes out of that roll into a blazingly fast flip kick, the attack additionally powered by a swath of blue energy trailing behind her feet, lending even more strength to the attack, "Tenshou..."

Edge isn't going to be listening any longer. He's tried listening, and he got bored of that. He got her to fight back harder, which is great, and now here, well, now he's going to have to take his reward. Or at least, well, somewhat kind of concept of a reward. As he does, he takes a few steps back after pocketing the spray can. Looking towards Hotaru, he already see's she is up to something. She lunges at him into a roll, the roll going into a blazingly fast flip kick.
Edge can tell that he has it coming, and this time, once in a million times that he tried, he got his arms up in the right position sooner than later. The arms come up and take the blows. It stings and bones as the energy is added towards it. His arms are beat raw, but that could have been his body. If it was his body, that would have been completely terribly. Still, he's sent sprawling back as it pushes him against one of the fences.
Now is his chance. Looking back towards her, he shakes his head. "You know what." Edge begins. "I'll think about paying for your clothes, but that sign? Not cleaning it up. And I ain't buying you a new broom either." The Gedo High student continues as he watches for the perfect time to strike. He sees it. Maybe he's hallucinating, but he's putting everything he has into this. As he begins covering ground, he reaches into his pocket, pulling out two knives with each hand, stuck between his fingers. As he abrutly stops, his eyes seem to flicker.
Stopping dead in his tracks, his arms don't, flying up with the momentum he gained before the knives are lurches out towards Hotaru, for of them, trialing for the pig-tailed girl. Each of them are traveling with untold speed on them. If she stops them, it would be somesort of miracle.

Hotaru 1/------=/=======|======-\-------\0 Edge
Seeing a veritable storm of sharp blades coming your way is a pretty scary prospect. One knife she could probably handle. She's already demonstrated that once before. But four of them? Coming from two hands at once? That's really pushing the girl a lot further than she's adept at coping with when it comes to incoming projectiles.
She attempts to avoid them, like any sane girl would do, but they're just way too blindingly fast for her to pull it off. One plunks itself into her shoulder, while two more stab into her thigh, and the last one she catches on her arm in a desperate attempt to knock it aside. The four pronged attack just brings Hotaru to a screeching halt as she stares wide-eyed back at Edge. She's barely still standing after that and it's easy to tell just by looking at her that she won't last much longer, looking somewhat queasy at the moment.
With one hand, she pulls the knives out of her shoulder and arm and drops them to the ground, but the two in her leg she leaves alone as she starts charging Edge, making one last desperate attack to hit him with a lunge of whirlwinding punches and strikes, trying to find a chance to deliver a stronger hit if possible.

But her strength gives out eventually as she is unable to push herself any further. The rapid strikes slow to a stop as Edge manages to avoid her entirely and Hotaru slumps forward to her knees, catching herself with her hands as she glares at the ground, gasping for breath.
Edge feels bad sometimes. Using knives mean your opponents are going to get hurt. Still, Edge doesn't allow anyone to get serious hurt on his watch. He's done some pretty horrible things, like turning this poor girl into a pincushion, but he'd never kill anyone through it. Not unless they deserved it, like Kurow or such.
Still, as the rapid lunge of whirlwinding punches comes after him, he can't let it go by. As most of her strength is used taking out the knives before vaulting at him, he throws himself back and towards the side. He feels that he cheated her out of something there, but he just looks down as Hotaru falls towards the ground, grasping for breath.
He looks down and walks over towards the sign. He shrugs, and begins to leave. The girl should be alright. "You did really well." He says as she's down. "Practice some more and then come after me! I'll be waiting. You know where to look." He is a thug. It doesn't take much of a guess.
In all the commotion, Hotaru never noticed that the cameras set up earlier had been manned by SNF officials. That this exchange of attacks was all part of a sponsored event would have come as a complete surprise to her. And considering how Edge showed up... probably a total surprise for /him/ too! Those crazy SNFers.
When it's clear the fight is over, the on hand medics come out to help Hotaru back up to her feet. They'll take care of the poor girl's stab wounds. It's nothing a few stitches can't fix up after all. It was more the shock of getting stabbed than the actual damage that took her out of the fight anyway.
Even as she's being limped off to the side though, the girl glances over her shoulder after the already departed Edge. Oh, she'll get back at him for sure. He better count on that! It's not like he can blend into a crowd very well with that oh so distinctive style of his anyway.
But now she's left with a mess on her hands, a broken broom, a painted sign, and a ruined outfit. Sighing, Hotaru shakes her head. As soon as she can get the medics to leave her alone, she better get to cleaning this up!!
COMBATSYS: Edge has ended the fight here.
