Description: Wherin Alan is vulgar to nuns, Hurricane Hime is disapproving, and Shoma is mostly just short. With special guest: God! (Winner: Alan and Himeko)
A beautiful day in China. Is there every anything but? But today is a particularly gorgeous day at the Chi-Lin Nunnery because it's another one of those crazy cases of sun-showers, and it's pretty hot out on top of it. This is clearly the work of some sort of god. The sound of raindrops hitting the ceramic-looking roofs of the building fills the air about where a battle of epic proportions is about to take place!
Standing out in what is decidedly the main entrance to the nunnery are a group of chinese nuns, with umbrellas over their heads. There are five of them in total, one very short and raisin-like in apperance, one quite tall with hair pulled in a ponytail and an eyepatch over her left eye, one mid-height but rather obese, one whom is completely jacked and tan, and finally one that is mid-height with a case of serious underbite. All of them asian in nature and suprisingly eager to see the match that will take place here.
It should be starting soon enough, the cameramen are all set up and gathered around the center area, where the announcer is.. Well.. Announcing the contenders this fine afternoon. The first introduced is Hurricane Hime herself, whom makes a daring, flashy apprance by calling her her name atop the roof, her oversized, pink scarf flapping wildly in the wind, arms crossed and looking as heroic as ever! "HURRICANE HIMEEEE!!" she finishes for the announcer and LEAPS off the roof, performing multiple flips in the air and lands just in front of the large white statue near the stairwell, and strikes a very very cool sentai pose! "The champion of Literacy is here!"
Following a polite applause and an awkward silence from the announcer, her partner... And then their opponent is introduced!
Alan R. B. does not make a flashy arrival. When his own name is called, the blonde boxer drops the cigarette from his mouth, grounds it out on the (holy) walkway, and squints up at the sun. His pale sunglasses darken as he turns them up to the light, because Alan has ridiculous resources to call upon you're damn right he's going to splurge on Transitions lenses.
Alan tucks his hands into his pockets and marches on out. Each raindrop that hits his body causes a spark of electricity, interacting with the chi that flows through him constantly. He steps in puddles - lightning dances across their surface until he steps out. Normally, the currents of power only run across his skin, but with his clothes dampened by the light rain, electricity is crackling over every inch of his form.
Alan hasn't noticed the nuns yet, so everyone gets a reprieve for now. He has noticed Himeko's entrance, however. "You've gotta be kidding me."
"And hailing from SouthTown Japan, Ace Pitcher for the Taiyo Gakuen Suns. Weighing in at 125 pounds with a Five Hundred Batting Average..." 'What I'm Made Of' by Crush 40 hits the speakers as a young man makes his way to the ring. "SHOMA! SAWAAAAAMURAAAAA!"
Shoma scratches his face as he looks at Himeko, then at Alan. "You and me both," he comments as he unlimbers a large grey bat. "What say we get this on?"
Alan R.B. glances Shoma up and down, a sneer crossing his face. "Oh, this is rich. A shortstop." GONGGGGG.

Shoma grits his teeth as Alan delivers his jibe. He glares up at the taller man.
"WHY YOU...!!!" Shoma charges in to start things off, gripping the bat firmly before smashing the large aluminum bat towards Alan's ribs. Even if it was /not/ two on one, Shoma is going to have a hard time of things if the fight drags on. Best to finish it quickly.
"They seem like such nice children. It's a shame they're fighting instead of playing," the shortest nun murmurs as she shakes her head. Her fellow sisters nod in agreement, and then proceed to start talking about something completely unrelated. Possibly about plants when the match is then announced to start.
The little Hurricane isn't put off at all by either her partners or her opponents reaction to her entrance, the important thing here was that she was without a doubt looking very very cool!
"Citizen Shoma!" she then pipes, her tone that of an exaggerated american superhero, "It would be wise for you to keep your cool! Huaaah!" With a quick shuffle of her feet and ideally setting herself behind Shoma, she grips a handful of index cards from her sidepack. She then throws her hands forward, the cards staying linked to one another so that it acts like a whip that, if Shoma isn't careful, will wrap about his neck three times and then squeeze and squeeze until the papers break their link!

Shoma's bat eats nothing but air as Alan pulls up his fists and springs back, lightning crackling around his legs. "Ha! With little stubby legs like that, what the hell do you think you're going to do?" Tauntingly, he quick-steps around behind him, channeling his chi to give him impressive speed. He then cuts in toward him, keeping away from Himeko's whip and crouching low. He comes back around in front of Shoma in an instant, the iron rings on his right hand surging with chi as he leaps back up, aiming a huge blow right for the student's chin.
The astute will notice, just before he goes for the uppercut, that Alan glanced aside and took quick stock of all five nuns. That cannot end well.

Shoma's eyes go wide as Himeko does her thing. Man. Flying dudes with EVIL energy, creepy vampire chicks and now THIS?!? Shoma mirrors Alan's move to allow the cards to fly over his head, the impromptu whip nicking a hair spike.
"I'll show YOU what I can do!" Alan's strike comes blazing in, Shoma reacts quickly. Focusing his will into the bat, it takes on a faint golden glow as he swings. The energy from Alan's attack is slammed back at the blonde with alacrity.
"All of them are rather adorable," the tallest nun suddenly mentions, "It reminds me so much of my younger days.. I was a bit of a tomboy as you all know, it seems it was just like yesterday..."
"Ahh, yes yes.." the shortest nun adds, recalling the situation quite easily, it'd seem. "They called you the Devil Angel, as strong as you're pretty. Heh heh, always a handful."
Well it's certainly Alan and Shoma that are taking them back on a trip to the past, because Himeko's cool-headedness isn't gaining any attention just yet. "Oops! Drat, now he's looking really mad.." Hime, in all honesty, has seen the boy when he loses it before, it'd probably be better for her own health to try to keep from gaining /too/ much of his intention, but how does one discreetly kicks ones butt??
After seeing that whallop, her path is clear. This can only be resolved with some good ol-fashioned grappling! Sweeping closer to Shoma, Hime will attempt to wrap her arms about Shoma's waist. She assumes Alan has a plan as well, so would hesitate for just a moment, and then attempt to lurch backward into a big suplex! "Keep your eyes on the prize!"
Alan's chi is blasted right back into his face, but it's the impact of the bat that does the worst of it. He rolls back, frowning, as images of Tran dance through his head. In response, Alan backs off, and his hands drop to his sides. He just relaxes, like he was watching squirrels run in the park or something.
With this relaxation comes a release on Alan's tight hold on the chi that runs through him. Electricity blossoms around him with a low rumble of thunder, a corona of energy surrounding him. The lightning bolt in his hair dances, the only motion his hair ever seems to do on camera. The boxer shrugs his shoulders and rolls his neck, and then looks over to the nuns. The moment of truth. "Will you prunes stop yammering on over there? We're trying to have a throwdown! Who cares about ivy vines?"
COMBATSYS: Alan gathers his will.

Shoma is slammed to the turf hard by Himeko's...unexpected manuever. He kips to his feet, and grimaces as Alan opens his mouth. He pulls a baseball out of his pocket, sets, and hurls the hundred mile an hour fast ball...
...right at Alan's open mouth. Hopefully the lummox won't catch the darn thing barehanded.
Uh oh. Looks like something got Alan started, and when those words come out of Alan's mouth, Hime's short hair nearly stands on end. Those.. Those words did NOT just come out of his mouth!
The group of nuns are drawn into silence for a moment, first in confusion, and then the tallest nun calls back, "I'm sorry, what was that, dear?"
"He requests that you ladies keep cheering for him! It's uh.. It's pig latin!" Hime blurts out, flailing her arms like crazy long after her suplex technique is finished. That was really really far fetched, yes, but.. It seems to be a good enough answer for the group. The superheroine shoots Alan a warning glare as the baseball whiffs by her hair, "Ack!"
She turns to face Shoma again, taking too big steps then leaps into the air, tucks in her kneels and rolls toward the baseball star like an oversized baseball! Yeah, she's really asking for it, but if she can hit him, it'd almost be like watching a bowling ball hit a pin!
"Heh heh, I see, well, the one with the electricity whatzit, that one's Alan, right?" the tan nun questions with a large grin on her face, "Hey, Alan! I'll definatly cheer for you if you agree to be our choreboy for a day or two!" <3 This, of course, is followed by giggles of her companions.

Alan does manage to get those words out, but fortunately the nuns apparently assume he /wasn't/ insulting them for no real reason. Face contorted in an extremely punchable expression, the "R" boxer prepares to fire another missile back - and the baseball smacks right into his jaw, causing him to stumble. Most fighters get mad when something like that happens, but Alan is mostly apathetic about it. He straightens, rubs his jaw, and pulls both hands up over his head.
"Let's see you bounce /this/ back, shortstop! Maybe if you bend your head a little it'll go right over!" Lightning floods into his hands as he swings down, snapping the fingers on both hands, whipping his right arm back up and across, and ending with his left hand pointing right at Shoma. Thunder rolls out from him as four huge, incredibly fast bolts of sizzling yellow lightning leap across the center area, the sheer force of them blowing dust from the walkway in two small waves. "Thunder STORM!"
Alan swings his hands away after that, releasing the excess energy in two arcs, and sneers at the sisters. "Whatever, man-nun. Looks to me like you haven't had a boy 'helping you out' for some time!" Yes, he punctuates it with a very inappropriate pelvic shake. These are NUNS. Truly, Alan knows no limits.

Shoma stumbles as he takes Himeko's strike square in the chest. He'll have to deal with the crazy librarian sooner rather than later, he thinks.
But first he has Alan's blitzkrieg to worry about. The bat glows once more, slightly brighter this time, "Do..." The bats slams into the first one, "NOT!" The second one is smacked back, "Underestimate," Shoma sends the third back to center, "ME!!!" The fourth bolt is returned as Shoma clanks the end of the bat into the ground as he gasps for air. "That was dangerous," the youth chuckles.
Well Hurricane Hime can't deny that Alan is /flashy/ if anything else. He's got some neat lightning tricks, maybe if he spent more energy rocking out instead of insulting nuns he could get some work done, the superheroine thinks! After that big moment of impact, she bounces off of Shoma, flips and lands on her feet near her partner, pointing to herself with her thumb, "And that's why they call me Hurricane Hi-"
However she's cut off by Alans mouthing off once more. Her dusky face manages to go completely pale, and the quint-group of nuns once more are drawn into silence. A deafining silence only broken by the sound of rain on the roof. ".... Excuse me?" the nun replies, her eyes narrowing slightly, "I'm afraid I don't completely follow.."
Fret not HURRICANE HIME is on the case, whom in a complete disregard for common sense is standing next to Alan and mimics his motions, though tries to take his hands and do THE TWIST instead! "Oh ho ho ho, Citizen Alan, you and your slang, we don't use the word 'man' here like that! Everyone do THE TWIST!" though she's doing to duck at the last moment to keep from getting slammed by Shoma's return gift. Though who knows, maybe she's helping him rock out in the process?

Alan's huge surge of lightning is sent back at him, and his lip twitches upward. The boxer, who goes through life now not actually caring about other people even to the point where they can't piss him off easily, is getting annoyed. He lifts his right hand, and takes a moment to glance at Himeko as electricity crackles into his right hand, forming an orb of chi. "What in the goddamn hell is wrong with you?" It's only right now that he seems to notice her - when you're too young of a girl, Alan just writes you off.
His hand flicks down, fingers snapping to throw a lightning bolt at his own mass of lightning. "Strike!" That bolt impacts and burns away in a shockwave, but Alan isn't done, swinging up again. "Twice!" Unfortunately for the American, it's not working, this bolt meeting much the same fate. "Oh, son of a-"
All four bolts hit him in one surge picking him up off his feet and hurling him a few yards back. He lands kneeling in a puddle, lightning surging out to visibly crackle around the water. He doesn't have anything to say right now, too busy coming back to himself.
Shoma grins slightly; Himeko is providing an excellent distraction for the Slugger. He runs in at Alan, bringing the bat back once more.
"Face front!" Shoma yells as he whips the bat around at Alan's head.
"...If you don't want to gete hurt!" Suh-WING!
The little Hurricane just shakes her head at Alan. She couldn't say that he didn't deserve every bit of it though, it's almost like some sort of... Divine Intervention of whatever gods it is the nuns worship. Well at the rate this is going, she sure hopes there's a blessing in her favor! However she hisses to Alan, "If you don't watch it, you're going to be in really big trouble!" Another glare.
With that taken care of, she's turning to face Shoma once more, her hands raised into fists with the little paper sheets, and then slaps her hands togeather. "You're looking at a one way trip to Graceland, pal!" When they draw apart, she's created another link of index cards, dashes toward, then leaps over Shoma. If she has her way, the 'rope' will catch Shoma's throat, in which she then hops up, plants both her feet on Shoma's back, and proceeds to try to choke out Shoma a second time her, pulling at least four times before the links would break again and send her splatting unceremoniously to the floor.

Alan stays down on a knee until the instant before the bat hits him, and snickers at Himeko's words. "Yeah, whatever, girl. You couldn't touch me with a ten foot pole." The bat bears down on him... and Alan /moves./ He leaves an after-image of electricity as he jumps up and stomps down /hard/ on the bat, somersaulting forward off of it. "Hey shortstop, let's see if I can take a few more inches off of you!" Alan tucks in his left leg as he lashes out, spinning forward, trailing power from his heel. He turns three complete perfect circles, trying to just drive his heel into the top of Shoma's head three times, the third one vaulting him forward. "Ring! Of! Thunder!"

Shoma is not worried at all as the bat misses; he kind of checked that swing anyway. He twists, narrowly avoiding Himeko's card-rope, "Too slow!"
Alan makes another 'shortstop' comment as he sends still more lightning at the Slugger. You'd think he'd have seen the reaction coming from a mile away. The bat glows golden once more as Shoma whips the bat around again. "It's Sawamura. Don't make me beat it into you."
Himeko puffs her cheeks, not at Shoma, but rather at her partner whom is disrespecting her! Grrrr, she would shake a fist if she didn't have her hands full with trying to beat up Shoma some more! He's a little too quick for him that time around, but it doesn't mean it's time for her to give up just yet! "Hurricane Hime! Sanjou!" she cries, turning to face her baseball capped opponent one more time and cringes once Alan again just gets completely owned right then and there.
Even the nuns have to cringe at the golden batness, but don't worry, they're fans! They will cheer Alan on to keep his mojo up! "Come on, sonny!" the more obese nun calls out, "If you pull yourself back into this we'll give you lots of special attention! Wooooh!" Though she is promptly elbowed by the shortest nun, her cheeks red as cherries. Really, for shame!
Hurricane Hime takes yet another swing at Shoma, or rather makes one more attempt to toss Shoma around a bit. She leaps up and tries to sit on the boys shoulders as if suggesting a piggyback ride, waving her arms for balance. Then she'd lurch backward to use the momentum to flip Shoma into the air and down onto the stone floor in a reverse frankensteiner! "Try some of this!"
"I don't care about your names!" This is what Alan says just before performing the Ring of Thunder, which is stomping on Shoma's head much more than it is just sending lightning. It's not Alan's fault his every move throws electricity everywhere - and because of that, Shoma keeps batting him away, blowing the chi away with that damn thing. Alan's somersault turns awkward as he spins back from the student, landing and skidding on his shoulder painfully. He swears extensively and inventively as he pushes himself back up.
The blonde man gives the tubby nun a look of /terror,/ face shining from the rain. "You look to me like you've already given plenty of hams some special attention. I don't want to end up Sunday dinner, Sister Porkins." His jive delivered, Alan stays back from the fight, a little damn tired of getting his own attacks consistently rebuffed. He slides his hand back through his hair, wiping water off of the product'd mass, and takes off his shades to wipe them on the hem of his vest. Finally, he pulls a new cigarette from his pocket, snapping his fingers to light it and take a deep drag. He centers his gaze on Shoma, eyes cold. "Let's see you bring something new to the table."

Shoma would have had some snappy retort for Alan. He really had something snappy. Too bad Himeko's timely Frankensteiner keeps him from saying anything. He lies there for a second before pulling himself to his feet. He looks at Alan for a second, before charging the larger man at a full sprint.
This /might/ seem suicidal...right until Shoma drops into a slide, aiming the cleats for Alan's ankle.
Oh man.
Oh man.
Oh man.
Alan has to be the most horrifying partner Himeko has /ever/ teamed up with, how can such a cool person be so MEAN? To a nun! "Are you some sort of-" MONSTER?? Hime thinks to herself, but she can't say it out loud. The disraction is enough for Shoma to slip away and hunt down down Alma to give him some more holiday Seasons Beatings.
The large nun seems taken aback by Alan's mouth, which is clarified shortly as she looks to the eyepatch nun, "How did he know my name?" she asks, the others shrugging slightly, though the muscled nun, seeming to catch on slowly cracks her knuckles as she murmurs
"I'm sorry, dear boy, did you just imply that my fellow sister here is some sort of-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" the pink-clad heroine interjects, "Don't you know, it's the hottest song, everyone sing along!" as she makes a beeline after Shoma, and just goes for a simple attack, leaping into the air and throwing a quick snap-kick at the back of Shoma's head ideally, all the while singing a made-up tune, "o/~ Oh I don't want to end up dinner, Sister Porkins! I'm just a lonely little cow! Oh I don't want to end up dinner, Sister Porkins! Please let me return to my home planet Mercury! Hoo ha!" Glare glare glare at Alan!
"Oh kids and their 'rap music'. Though that one is mildly catchy." the nun comments, and they all clap with the beat.

Alan is starting to take a perverse pleasure in sassing the nuns, especially as Himeko desperately backpedals. Lightning surges around him like a hilarious god as he shouts over Himeko's desperate backpedaling, pointing at each nun in turn. This is his GREATEST TECHNIQUE. "YOU are like a tiny ball of pure wrinkles! I've never seen someone so short and so old at the same time, it's a wonder nobody's stepped on you! YOU don't belong anywhere near a church! You look like you should be in some kind of ridiculous fetish porn, I bet you could get lots of play out of that socket! YOU barely fit in that habit! Don't even try to fool me, I bet you've eaten quite a few buffets out of business in your heyday, you must love the church potlucks! What's the luck? Not getting your hand bitten off while setting the food down! YOU... YOU... You're a man! I don't care what you say, you're a man and you snuck in here because you just love the full-body garments! And YOU... YOU... YOU DON'T HAVE A CHIN! YOU DON'T HAVE A GODDAMN CHIN! JESUS CHRIST WHAT KIND OF FOOD DID YOU EAT AS A CHILD THAT DISSOLVED YOUR ENTIRE CHIN--"
KICKED IN THE LEGS.
Alan doesn't fly backwards, Shoma's slide kick instead hurling him way up in the air, lightning trailing around him as he spins. Despite the pain, despite the height, he still manages to point down at Shoma. "You're going to pay for that one, shortstop!" About fifteen feet in the air, Alan reaches the apogee of his flight, and pulls his right arm back as he controls his descent.
Electricity blossoms around Alan as he comes down, lightning bolts cracking all over the place, his fist looking very much like a crackling comet. The boxer plummets, aiming right for Shoma. "OVERCHAAARGE!" He doesn't even have to hit him directly, with the single huge punch, as upon impact with the church walkways, electricity is just thrown everywhere as he makes a fairly decent crater. His own status is obscured by a patented dust cloud.

Shoma is tagged by the kick during his approach. He shrugs it off somewhat, intent on shutting Alan up in the conventional way. He's...too slow. He is even too slow to avoid Alan's desperation move, taking the thunderous punch in the ribs. He yells out in pain from the terrible force of the blow.
When the dust clears, Shoma is on one knee, looking up at Himeko. He holds up a hand to forstall the Champion of Literacy, "Just...just a moment, please. Lemme catch my breath..."

................................................. uh.
Ok the GOOD news is that Hurricane Hime had managed to land a pretty sweet looking kick into Shomas dome. HOT! The bad news is that Alan just bought himself a one way ticket to hell. Himeko is completely and utterly horrified by the string of insults that Alan blurts out.
One by one the nuns gives a gasp of shock, their hand-clapping comeing to a halt, their eyes either widening in shock, or bringing a hand to the chest in a 'how dare you!' manner. For a moment it just seems like there is absolutly no hope. That Alan has driven in the final, irrecoverable nail.
Hime isn't playing games here anymore, she's so shocked she doesn't even hear Shoma, and she goes ahead and grabs one of the cameramans camera's and HUCKS it at Shoma.
NOW this looks like a job for HURRICANE HIME!! She clasps her hands to her head, and cries out loud in realization, "Oh my GOSH!! I can't believe I've forgetten this is OPPOSITE FIGHT RULES!! Never in my LIFE have I seen so many compliments thrown out at once, it's amazing, I- Gee WHIZ!"
"............." There's some mild confusion, the nuns look at first to the pink clad heroine, and not seeming to buy it at all. I mean really that is just reaching it, until Himeko plays her TRUMP CARD. She sets a hand on her hip, puts on the biggest doe-eyes she can manage, "o/~ I'm a little teapot short and stout. Here is my handle.." she shimmies her hip. "Here is my pout." Pout.

When the dust cloud clears, Alan R. B. is unconcious in the middle of his small crater.
Those filming the broadcast and the five nuns watching would later swear on their lives that they saw a gracefully-aged bearded man in a glorious white robe standing next to Alan through the dust, bending down to him and giving him a firm slap on the back of the head.
Unfortunatly, Hime's little cute act can only hold back the storm for so long. For the eyepatch nun and the tough-nun, while they are briefly endeared, it doesn't last much longer. "Well, I believe I've had about enough of this." the toughnun murmurs, starting to turn around until the shortest nun gives a gasp of suprise. Indeed, they -do- see that gracious bearded fellow, and suddenly what looked to be the start of a very bad turn for the worst is very steadily brought back to
U RAPPIN: GOOD.
The little Hurricane has problems of her own, however. she's feeling a bit frustrated at her partner and disappointed that her OWN secret technique wasn't flawless. (having not seen GOD, you see). She smirks a little to Shoma and points to herself with her thumb, "Are you kidding me? That's why they call me Hurricane Hime! Let's go!" and when she rushes forward, she whips her paper 'rope' at Shoma's ankle. SHould he get caught, it wraps about it twice, and with a sharp snap like a whip, the aftershock would slam Shoma violently to the floor, "Huaah!"

"All right then!" The Taiyo Slugger skids to a halt dangerously close to the hero in pink, "Let's do this!" Shoma is in a batting stance, "FINISHING STRIKE!" The bat takes on an almost sun-like glow, "HOMERUN HITTER!!!" The bat sweeps in, a massive arc of aluminum and chi energy on a collision course for Himeko's torso!
COMBATSYS: Himeko blocks Shoma's Homerun Hitter.

Shoma 0/-------/------=|====---\-------\0 Himeko
Himeko reaches into her scarf and draws out, for the first time in this match, her paperback book. It's about the size of a mathematics textbook, with a manilla cover, which she uses to fan herself lightly. She then quirks an eyebrow, "Huh? Finish strike??"
Not if she can help it! The heroine in pink twists her lips a bit and then takes a slightly more defensive stance, gripping the paperback with both hands at the top and bottom and thrusts it out in front of her.
FWOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Hime's scarf goes flapping back wildly when the bat comes in contact with the book which doesn't even give an inch during the impact, though her shoes do lightly scrape along the ground when she herself is pushed back. The girl smirks a little more, "Not bad!" and she leaps into the air, chopping her pook in a way so the papers whip out and wrap about Shoma's face. She'd then try and press her back against his own, twist sharply and shoulder throw the boy right into the ground!
COMBATSYS: Himeko successfully hits Shoma with Medium Throw.

Shoma 0/-------/-----==|=====--\-------\0 Himeko
Shoma is launched by the paper-wielding girl, crashing to the ground with a heavy *WHUD!* sound. He looks up at Himeko tiredly; he should have called in sick for this match after that crazy vampire chick jumped him the other night. However he, and a couple of others, argued that he needed to jump back in the saddle. He pulls himself upright, and looks at the girl for a moment.
He's not doing too badly, actually, given that it has been an uneven match from the get-go. He steps in close, throwing a quick uppercut to further test the girl's speed.

Shoma 0/-------/----===|=====--\-------\0 Himeko
"No rest for the weary, Citizen Shoma! But you're doin' pretty amazing for someone who's running low on steam! Let's pick up the pace, so I can tell you a little story about a little Hurricane!"
The quick uppercut is indeed quick, but not quite enough to tag Himeko, whom just shifts slightly to the side to dodge it, "She was a youngin' who loved books, ate her yogurt and was actually fairly well endowed despite people saying otherwise!" Her book tucked away, she reaches into her scarf and draws out not one, but two sets of folded paperfans as she leaps at Shoma, and tries to slap him in the face with one, then the other, and finshes the combo off by spinning on one foot, spinning like a hurricane to add even more suprisingly powerful slaps to her technique! "That! Right there! Is proof, get it?"
COMBATSYS: Himeko successfully hits Shoma with Random Weapon.

Shoma 0/-------/---====|=====--\-------\0 Himeko
All Shoma gets is smacked around by the shorter girl. HE shakes off the slaps, glaring at the little girl. There was just no way Shoma was willing to let this brat get the better of him after he beat down Alan.
The bat whips around again, a grey arc blurring on a course for Himeko's shoulder. "Proves nothing, shorty."

"Wh- How hold on a minute, what are you a pot??" Hime snaps back, seeming annoyed herself at Shoma's comeback. As if! "Oh and it proves something all right, you just don't know it yet, HUP!"
She sees the bat whipping toward her, and she drops into a crouch position so the weapon whips harmlessly over hear head, and she does a Saikyo-style roll past him, "Yahooi!" The pressure is on, her luck might not hold out much longer at this rate! Hopeing to be behind Shoma again, the little Hurricane whips out one more rope of index cards toward Shoma's neck, which again would wrap around his throat and squeeze like a snake is successful!
COMBATSYS: Himeko successfully hits Shoma with Reading Rainbow.

Shoma 0/-------/--=====|======-\-------\0 Himeko
Shoma gasps for air as the card-snake proceeds to strangle him. His eyes go wide; this is the fourth time this weekend someone has tried to choke him. His eyes go wild as something simply.../snaps/ in Shoma's mind.
He reaches up, shreding the paper whip before taking the bat in a low, sharp arc to Himeko's head with a scream of fury!
COMBATSYS: Himeko blocks Shoma's Grand Slam Smash.

Shoma 0/-------/-======|=======\=------\1 Himeko
Good ol chokes. If it weren't for Mimiru, Himeko probably would not have known any at all! Very effective techniques she's learned but one question remains.. Is it SAIKYO?? Probably not. :(
Well Shoma is snapping and it's looking like she wants to tear the Champion of Literacy apart! Luckily it's easy to keep a cool head when your generally oblivious! "Hey cool it, hothead! You could hurt somebody!!" Her book gripped once more, she clutches the book again to meet the swing, the impact causes her scarf to whip backward, and she again goes stumbling back as a result. That's quite a read she's got there! "Don't forget you're in front of nuns! Be easy!" and she winks. Now then!
Hime gives a short burst forward, apparently quite keen to the idea of throwing Shoma again, making a grasp for his collar. It'd take a lot of energy, but if she could throw him again, this time it'd be toward the pool of water near the stairwell, "HYAH!"
COMBATSYS: Shoma fails to interrupt Quick Throw from Himeko with Fishing Swing.

Shoma is on his last legs; the toll of the last few weeks...this weekend in particular, plus the beating he is taking right now, plus the fact that he was not in top form when he arrived...
...it make perfect sense that Shoma's attempt to regain momentum by using his well-known 'Fishing Swing' technique would fail miserably as Himeko slings the Slugger into the drink. He floats to the top, not really moving...
Sploosh.
Hurricane Hime stays in her pose for a moment, then immedietly gets into a defensive stance, expecting a counter attack. There's silence for a moment, and Hime seems a little worried suddenly. Oh dear.
"HOAAAAH!!" Suddenly the tanned nun makes a dash along the walkway, makes a mighty leap into the air and causes a massive cannonball of water to take the air as her fellow sisters follow her. And when the guyser comes down, the older woman grins, with Shoma placed carefully over her shoulder. "Heh, the poor boy is completely weary.. But he should be just fine after he lays down for a while.."
"Thank goodness," the tallest nun murmurs with a sigh of relief, though Hime is still stunned for a moment. But then she's relieved that Shoma's all right. But then she's completely overjoyed that she had managed to finish the match!
"W- We won..? WE WON!!!" she shrieks, throwing her hands in the air as she hops around like a little maniac once the winning teams name is announced. A polite applause if given, and then suddenly 'Canned Heat' comes blasting from the speakers. Obviously this means Hurricane needs to dance, and she does so, hopping from one foot to the other, doing the swim, and on occassion the Urkel!
"Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm!
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down DANCE!
Nothing left for me to do but-"
And then the music just suddenly dies, possibly a circuit short due to the rain but it takes Himeko a moment to realize that the music has stopped! When she does, she slouches, staring at the floor for a moment. .....
And then runs off-camera.
Alan is still unconcious.
COMBATSYS: Himeko has ended the fight here.
