SNF 2007.07 - G'day! Blanka vs Himeko/Shoma

Description: Watch Shoma Smash Blanka with his Bat! Watch Blanka Eat Himeko! Watch Himeko Electrocute Blanka! :O (Draw Match)



Bwan dan dan dangitty dangitty b-dwan bon bon bonna dwang dwang dwang.

That right there is some old fashioned southern getaway banjo tunes for those who aren't in the know. Welcome to the Australian Outback, where the weather is as hot as the steaks, and the roads are bumpier than gramma's skin. And the match that's going on for this event isn't one that the viewers can so easily follow! It looks like it's courtesy televisions for them, but at least fight fanatics can watch as the fighters board this very very large truck that for some reason is carpeted in green turf. Looks like there's lots of things still scattered around too, though it consists mostly of barrels, some empty wooden ones, some filled with gas, most with water, and some filled to the brim with delicious fruit. Pulling this bad-boy is one heck of a truck, large, and blue!

The setting is the very outer limits of the city, destination elsewhere, and at this very moment the announcer is introducing the fighters. However in mid-intro of Hurricane's, there is a cry, "STOOOOOOOOOOP!!"

People look around, and standing on top of an italian ice stand is the pink clad Hurricane Hime, her cape whipping wildly behind her, her arms crossed, "Introducing first! The champion of justice! The upholder of literacy! The saikyo tornado!" She leaps off the cart, flips twirls and looks TOTALLY cool as she lands atop the main trailor frame, and strike a very sentai-ish powerpose, "HURRICANE HIMEEEE!!!!"
Silence.
And the the introductions continue.

Shoma simply walks past the ice stand, pausing only to glance up at the shorter girl for a moment. He blinks once or twice before unstrapping the gray bat. He looks at the truck and recalls what Sakura told him about the one fight she had on the moving plane. Seems kind of... tame in comparison.

He shrugs as he hops onto the back of the truck. Shoma does not get, nor really feel the /need/ for an introduction. The folks back home know who he is, know that he's back. That's all that matters to him.

'Blanket-san' has been learning! Albeit, it's difficult and slow to learn sometimes, but he has gained a newfound respect for Himeko and Dan's method of dramatic entrances. And in this fight, one where he actually /knows/ one of the combatants, he's going to do his best to make them proud, and to make sure the crowd enjoys themselves.

From one of the barrels already on the truck, a rumbling is heard - one that quickly grows into a growl. A fruit-barel seemingly explodes, wooden slats buckled outwards by the enthusiastic leap and stretch of one six-foot-five green 'monster! With two watermelons, one in each hand, he turns towards the crowd and howls, a bestial thing indeed. "AROOO! AROOOO!" Hands squoosh the watermelons in an explosion of pulpy goodness. He turns towards his 'opponents', then, and surreptitiously gives Himeko a wink and an 'Ok' signal. That was a good entrance, right? Right? Praise the Blanka, the Blanka needs praise!!

Such a quiet entrance.. But Hime hardly is put off by it. When she stands by his side, she crosses her arms and grins, "Citizen -Shoma-," the girl says in a stereotypical american hero tone, "In the past, we have fought as enemies.. But no we fight... As FAMILY! Today you are of my legion of heroes and you will be known as the boy with the golden bat.. LI-"

Wait the is a disturbance in the force! Hurricane looks to the barrel and then when it explodes she yelps in suprise, shields her eyes a moment and then her jaw just drops when she sees who was -really- inside.

The response Blanka gets is mixed, some shrieks, a couple of yelps of suprise, but overall the majority seems to be impressed, if not puzzled by the watermelon crushing. Didn't someone use that bit before? Still though, "An 'A' for effort!" Hurricane declares, "Next time just burst from the barrel.. Good show, Blanket-san! Hiiiiiiiiiii!!" the girl hops excitedly, waving her arms like crazy and ultimatly breaks character-

And the truck suddenly starts, causing her to trip and fall onto her back when it pulls off into the desert. That's the sign for the match to start, but it looks like Hime isn't ready!

Shoma frowns at Himeko. He is about to ask her what the heck she is talking about when Blanka starts his thing. He flicks some watermelon seeds off of his uniform with a disgusted look on his face.

He growls at Blanka, "Warn me next time!"

The truck starts to move. Shoma aims the bat at the big green lug, "You're going down!"

Yay, some people liked it! That's good enough for Blanka! He's got a little crowd impressed-ness, and it's a good start that isn't 'OMG MONSTER'. as the excitement wears off a little, he tries to give the match the attention it so richly deserves. After all, he's been given a chance against two really strong opponents!

As Shoma points the bat at Blanka, the beast-man nods. He'll watch it next time, for sure. Wiping watermelon remnants on the floor of the truck bed, he prepares for the fight, and the sudden jerk of the truck. He's handling it fine, years of having to be able to move at a moment's notice making him pretty nimble. But Himeko...! Blanka moves to catch the girl as sshe trips - and as fate would have it, his nimbleness is put to the test, due to a watermelon rind that his left foot falls 'pon. Spinning hands in a crazy windmilling motion, he manages to .. fail to catch his balance, and his weight goes toppling towards the prone girl.

"AROOK OUT!"

he is, after all.. very heavy.

COMBATSYS: Himeko blocks Blanka's Fierce Punch.

Er, whoops. It is fall and tumble time for Blanka and Hime, it seems in a contest for 'cool' points, Shoma wins out this round.
"Erk!!" the pink-clad girls eyes widen as Blanka comes barelling toward her- Leaping out of the way comes to mind, but instead it's a test of strenght for Little Miss Saikyo. She crosses her arms in front of her moments before he collides, and due to a shift of weight, ends up getting knocked to the side and rolls along. Quite a distance from the side luckily! "That was close. All right I guess it's fighting time!"
With a dash she races by Shoma, "Come, Little Slugger! To battle against the Teen Green Machine!" and then leaps at Blanka, and tears a page right from his book, defying gravity as her legs tuck in and she goes rolling like a cannonball toward Blanka!

Shoma roars at Himeko, "WHO YOU CALLING LITTLE?!?"

Then he remembers that he has business to attend to. He reaches behind his back, pulling out a baseball. "Heads up, fuzzy!" He sets, and hurls the ball at the Incredi-...wait. Wrong big green guy. His pitches have been clocked in at about ninety...

This is definitely where it's at! Getting back to his feet, Blanka takes a second to regroup and prepare again, trying to feel the bump and twists of the road. It's difficult, like staying on a shaky rope bridge. But Blanka will persevere! As he's charged by Himeko he holds out his hands, trying to still the spinny rolly move, the girl knocking him a few steps back, but inspiring him all the more! He has to fight hard, strong, if he's to prove himself to her! He turns and holds his hand out to her, one finger extended! "Aroo... Good! Stand... still, Blanka back.. quick!!!" And then, he turns.

Towards the Little Slugger, towards Shoma - right into the bean-ball that the kid throws, the solid-sounding thunk of his head getting pasted by the fastball doesn't seem to slow down Blanka at all. Oh no, this green man is suddenly dizzy, but he's atempting to give Shoma something to think about. He brings his head back while he lunges forwards, and then swings his head forwards to try and impact with Shoma! Time to show him what's on Blanka's mind! "AROOO!"

"What?" Hime cries back, "You forgot the 'Slugger'! That is the most important part!" How she says this while twirling like crazy is a mystery left to science, but she does it.
She comes to a halt, landing on her feet and turns to see Blanka now going after Shoma! And it looks like he's going for a little head-to-head competition too, "Uh oh, I hope he doesn't die, that'd be inconvenient.." she notes to herself. She reaches into her sidepack, taking out a handful of card-size papers and flings them toward Blanka's neck. If he's not careful, the 'rope' will wrap around twice and give him a good choke before pressure forces it to break!

Shoma...is not at all interested in what is on Blanka's mind. Not one little bit.

"Do not bury me yet!" the Taiyo youth cries as he pivots on his heel, bringing the bat around in a brutal arc that is guaranteed to knock the stuff out of Blanka...

...if it hits. The swing is kind of awkward for Shoma.

"No... dying!" Blanka is very firm on this! He's not going to give anyone a chance to say 'you monster, you killed the person I love' on live tv. Well, not that Himeko loves Shoma. Probalby. Blanka has no way to tell, he is just a simple unfrozen caveman lawy... er, nevvermind. Beastman! He whips his head towards Shoma's and misses completely, more's the pity. The only good thing is that the forward momentum makes the paper chain slide just above his head. Tumbling towards the edge of the truck, he sees the swing coming - and falls back to avoid it.

Off the truck!

There's a dust cloud that rapidly becomes a gone dustcloud, the truck leaving Blanka behind quickly. It'll be a second before they can find out what he's done. In the meantime, he's standing on the ground, looking confused... and then he hunkers down. Spinning in place, he starts to gather speed, and then blasts forwards towards the back of the truck. From the truck, a small dust ball can be seen, one that gathers in size and strength faster and faster - and then it bounds back onto the truck, aimed directly at... Himeko! Dustbath!

COMBATSYS: Blanka successfully hits Himeko with Rolling Attack.

"Hey hey, it was just a figure of speech, Blanket-san!" Hurricane assures with a dismissive wave of her free hand.. Though.. Ack, looks like he managed to avoid getting lasso'd. But as payment falls right off the truck??
The girls jaw drops as she slaps her cheeks, but the moment he drops into the crouch she knows what's coming, but for dramatique she cries, "No, Blanket-san, don't do it! It will NEVER WORK!"

WRONG! There he goes, blasting forward like a giant green meteor, and it's coming right for her! Oh if only she had a bat! Instead when he impacts she goes flying backward, and crashes into a convenient stack of wooden barrels that seems to have been filled with video game cartridges. Why, the world will never know, but she takes this opportunity to pick up one barrel and roll it toward Blanka, and then does that about three move times. "Take this.. And this! And how about this!"

Shoma spins around, wobblinng slightly to keep his balance before shifting closer to the Big Mean Green Machine with his bat at the ready.

He sets, and swings at Blanka's flanks, aiming to knock the larger man...beast...thing towards the front of the truck. Maybe through some of the barrels.

But Blanka does not even /like/ video games!! He bounds towards the barrels that are rolled at him, deftly skipping above and over them, to save the lady fair who is held by Donkey Ko.. wait! Blanka doesn't /like/ video games! They are full of sparkly lights and loud noises! He lands close to Himeko, and then starts to reach for her - but at the last second, he's distracted!

WHACK!!!

The bat hits solidly, but holds contact - and that, well - that gives Blanka the moment he needs. He latches a hand around the bat, and his eyes glow bright white for a split second. His mouth lolls open, a wide grin, and then sparks of electricity can be seen in his maw. Immedeately afterwards, his whole body starts to spark and sizzle, giving Shoma a ... well, a charge!

Himeko shies back a little, not because she's afraid, but she has a feeling that Blanka isn't done with her just yet and she'll need to be on her guard! But she is saved by a moment of truth, that truth being her partner who she really doesn't envy at that moment. She cringes, makes funny little pained faces as Shoma gets that big nasty electrical shock. However there is one thing she notices.

That was very, very cool.
"That was AWESOME!!!!" She shrieks, flailing her arms like a madman, "Did you -see- that?? It was like bffzzzzzzzzzzt POP POP and then there was lightning and-"
Hime twirls and snaps out at Blanka with a 'suprise' roundhouse heel-kick to Blanka's shoulder. It may not be a powerhouse kick, but this is more for suprise-factor anyway, "STEALTH KICK! It comes out of nowhere!"

Shoma screams as the voltage slams into his body. The contact holds for a sickening moment before throwing Shoma to the edge of the truck. He slides, and stops with his feet dangling precariously over the edge. He stands up, and shakes it off a bit as he considers the problem before him.

The solution is simple, really. He pulls a baseball out of his pocket. "TRY THIS! ILLUSION BALL!" Shoma hurls the ball...

...which seems to multiply rapidly as it sails towards Blanka. Soon there are /eight/ of them screaming fo the beast!

COMBATSYS: Blanka blocks Shoma's Illusion Ball.

"AROO! Good move!" Blanka is surprised, though - Shoma's still standing up. The fact that he's standing up is impressive, and the fact that Shoma's hair is not standing on end is ..the things of legend! Blanka will definitely be giving him the thumbs-up later! But first, for now he has to focus on their attacks. The sudden shower of Shoma's balls at Blanka makes the beast stagger back, hands over his face to avoid getting struck there. This leaves him wide open for Himeko's kick! He backpedals again, and puts his feet on the edge of the truck... then... FALLS OFF AGAIN!

From the edge, one green hand latches on, holding on for 'dear life', then goes to three fingers... Two... One...! And Blanka is actually hanging off the side as he builds drama for the cameras, mugging up the 'danger' he's in, in order to get a quick breath. Plus, if they come for him, he can chuck them off the edge! Mwah-hah, win win!

Shoma takes a knee, gasping for air as he simply...

...waits for Blanka to pull himself up. The truck is moving pretty fast; a fall at this speed would almost be certainly fatal. Shoma does not want to win that way.

Himeko sets her hands on her hips, and gives a very Saishu-esque, "Ha-HA!! It's a nearly perfected technique, you see. Now then!"

Actually it looks like Himeko will have to take a moment to allow Shoma to show he knows how to use his ... baseballs. And then there goes the Green Machine tumbling off the truck once more, and well.. -She- thinks he's just setting up for another rolling attack, there's no drama from her point of view, only preperation!

She reaches into her scarf, whipping out her book and tears out three pages that instantly go rigid within her grasp and they're whipped like darts toward Blanka. But now it's getting to an INTENSE MOMENT.

The truck decides to hit a particularly high angled hill, and upon hitting a pothole, a bunch of barrels break free from their position and come tumbling toward the fighters. If Street Fighters has taught us anything, this will happen for 30 seconds.

COMBATSYS: Blanka endures Himeko's Weekend Special.

While hanging off the edge of the truck, Blanka has a lot of time to think things over. Things like 'What will I have for dinner? Where are those fruit barrels? Does Himeko really like Dan and maybe I should like , give them more time alone?' And then, things like 'Okay, maybe I should fight again!' This is the thing that brings him into action, and well, he's certainly of the opinion that he needs to be on the offense!

Leaping straight up from his hidey hole, he aims at Himeko. At least, he would, were there not suddenly a paf paf paf of paper darts adjusting his flightpath. Flailing again, he starts to fall down, the electric field around his body bursting into life again as a standard defensive measure for panicked moments. Sadly, this happens /just/ as he starts to fall where Shoma is recovering his breath. Hopefully the kid can move!

COMBATSYS: Blanka successfully hits Shoma with Electric Thunder.

Himeko           1/-------/=======|


Who knew that Blanka had such deep and engaging thoughts going on in his mind, it is truely a wonder. Not that Himeko is much better, in her thoughts she thinks, 'Am I looking really cool?' or 'I bet I'm looking so cool and stylish right now' or 'Just how -do- I feel about the fact my gimmick caters to lolicons? Does that make me cool?'.

Of course it all isn't that simple, those are just some minor highlight thoughts in the day or a rookie fighter. "I knew i- Aw nuts." It looks like Blanka wasn't going for the rolling attack after all, making her feel a little sheepish. But! She goes ahead and chases after Blanka in a feeble attempt to slow him down. How? By leaping at him and clinging to his back, trying to wrap her arms about his neck in a killer sleeper hold!

Shoma is slammed and shocked. You could even call it 'Shock and Awe,' if you would like. Regardless of what you would call it, Shoma lays on the flatbed, with barrels pelting down on him like thunder. His uniform is still smoking as he pulls himself to his feet. He shakes off the dizziness, trying to get himself back together after that. He's looks extra crispy...

Struggle, Blanka! Struggle for your /life/! Admittedly, there seems to be an apparently pile of bodies for a second, with Blanka falling on Shoma, and Himeko atop his back, arms around his neck. Blanka flails to get off of Shoma and give him a few seconds to recover, but it's certainly not terribly long. No, no, he's on the move as he puts his chin down, blocking the attempt to cut off his breath.

He leaps towards one of the barrels, kicking it towards Shoma, but using the spin to let him lash a foot out towards Shoma's chest. He's trying to take the baseball star out of the fight, before he deals with the girl that's cliging to him like a lolicon limpet!

Barrels? What barrels? OH RIGHT BARRELS.

Hurricane Hime didn't need to worry about those though, because she was getting a free ride there on Blanka's back. Yes... Yes, that's the ticket.
Grinning like a maniac, the little Hurricane clings to Blanka, seeming to have no intent of letting him go! Well, at least until she realizes that it doesn't seem to be working very well. She realizes then that now is the time, now is the moment of truth.

The sleeperhold still apparently in place, she GOES FOR BROKE. She saw how Blanka did it, she watched very very carefully, and now she will mimic his famed attack before her audiences very eyes. She grits her teeth and growls, "Rrrrr.... RrRRRRRRRR..." and then she rolls her eyes upward to reveal the white as she tries to electricute Blanka into submission! "AAAAAAAAAAAAARH!"

Both Himeko and Blanka might be in for a ride as Shoma slams the end of his bat into Blanka's midsection. He lifts the pair up with titanic effort before spinning once, sliding down the bed of the truck. He fans the bat, throwing the pair towards the front even as he tumbles towards...

...then off of the end! The only evidence that Shoma is not completely out of this is the gloved hand gripping the edge tightly.

"... What is Hime doing?" Blanka isn't sure that Hime isn't having a seizure or the like, but it's impressive sounding! Just like when the female apes in the jungle try to impress their... Wait. Wait.

This is a bad place for Blanka's thoughts to be going! He should be focused on the battle, and not totally ignoring that giant freaking bat that just CAME IN AND HIT HIM VERY HARD OH SO HARD. He's knocked backwards, staggering once, twice.. He reaches out, and tries to lean forwards.. But fails! He goes sailing towards the cab of the truck, and well, um.. .still has a Hime holding onto him. This isn't going to feel very good, but at least it's still in the context of the fight. He'll attempt to make it quick, and painless.. And maybe he can imbed her in the truck. Just so she doesn't fall off the truck like Shoma!

Clearly something is very wrong here. Hime is not very successful in electrocuting Blanka at all, and this isn't apparent until Shoma bursts into action and sends fighters flying away to destination: elsewhere. She gives a cry of suprise as they go tumbling along, only clinging to Blanka even tighter during the fiasco only to experience a very big WHAMMO!!!

The truck shakes slightly, reaching the top of the hill and then continues on it's sun-beaten path.. But Hurricane Hime? She smashes into the cab and indents it deep, scaring the bejeezus out of the drives and off-road onto another wacky, bumpy course. She doesn't move for a moment, but she does eventually pull herself free, and seeming rather dizzy. Even still, she's 'skilled' enough to come at Blanka, brandishing her paperback book and attempts to slam the spine of it into his side, then leap and chop at his neck, "I live!" she declares.

Shoma strains as he tries to pull himself onto the truck. He flops ontp the bed before rolling to the side to avoid a barrel before standing up. He allows Hime a moment to do her thing before charging in. He attempts to hook an arm under Blanka's armpit before hipping into the beast boy in order to slam the larger opponent into the wood.

Aroo! This fight is intense indeed! Blanka is unsure of the best ways to handle the pair, and certainly, their skills are impressive indeed. Blanka's not able to keep himself standing on the crazy bump and bounce of the truck much longer, and instead he's just going to go flat and try to take the pair down! He brings his head back and puts it in the way of the paperback, trying to dissuade Himeko from using the pages by /trying to swallow half the book/ and slobber all over it. The impact to his precious toofs is very painful, but he endures it in the name of strategery! The other attack passes past him, the green machine winding his arm out of the way, deftly avoiding the throw. But in this case, he needs to come up with a good idea, /really/ fast.

With his mouth on Himeko's hand, there is only one answer. He inhales. His chest swells up, and he /gulps/, trusting his odd physiological attributes to allow him to do this without actually harming Himeko. If he can keep her from being able to let go, he might be able to incapacitate her. This would involve getting his mouth up to her shoulder, and that's a long way to go! *AWM NOM NOM NOM*

COMBATSYS: Himeko fails to interrupt Wild Fang from Blanka with Schoolhouse Rock!.

Shoma growls as he grabs nothing but air. He see Blanka...

...eating Himeko's /head/. This gets Shoma heated up! You can almost /SEE/ the flames rising behind him in the background! "HEY!" The Burning Slugger yells as he grips his bat tightly. He dashes in, sliding to a stop, "YOU DO /NOT!/" The bat whips around in a blazing arc, "GO FOR A GIRL'S FACE LIKE THAT!" The swing is aimed to knock Blanka completely off of the truck should it connect...

And that right there is the most unusual, and unorthodox defense Hurricane has ever seen! "Ha-H--HEY!!!" The girls free arm flails like crazy as Blanka decides to snack on her book that quite thankfully is not a real one but one she made for fighting with! Even still, the little Hurricane isn't quite so willing to let it go. If he wants to eat some papers, she's give him a buffet! "Oh that's it, it's Hurricane Hime time!!" Her scarf bursts backward and flaps wildly at that very moment, her book shaking within hand, but then suddenly SLURP! She's jerked forward, and is getting some serious chewy, slobbery, and very gross grappling going on!

"WAAAH!" she cries, jerking her feet upward to press into his chest, and with a pull of utmost justice, she manages to pull herself free, tumble, and smash into one of the metal barrels this time, knocking herself briefly out cold. Game over, man.. Game over.

COMBATSYS: Shoma successfully hits Blanka with Grand Slam Smash.

Shoma            1/-------/=======|=======\=====--\1           Blanka


Totally not eating Himeko's face, Blanka is! In fact, he's just noshing on her book, to keep her occupied! And he'd turn to tell Shoma that, but at the moment, he has to deal with the raspy rough feeling of Himeko's hand going *SHLORP* out of his throat. Oog, talk about a wierd sensation. Only due to long times of swallowing watermelon whole can he manage to choke back any reaction. As she flails and falls back, Blanka moves to defend his honor, and the fact that he wasn't /really/ trying to hurt her much!

And gets a bat /right/ in the face. There's a nasty CRUNCH as he gets hit, and Blanka tumbles backwards, thumping into the barrels as well, right next to the unconcious Hurricane Hime. He is, however, still alive and 'kicking'. And as such, he tries to recover enough to deal with Shoma. Getting to his feet, he reaches back and holds onto a barrel, flailing... Then looks down. Tasty fruits. TASTY FRUITS! He launches it and himself upwards, trying to come down on Shoma..!

COMBATSYS: Blanka can no longer fight.

Shoma is absolutely pummeled by fruity feet! Or is it fruit and feet? Don't ask Shoma; he is on a one way trip off of the truck, with a quick bounce, a roll, and a screaming fall!

No telling what happened to the Slugger...

After the Slugger takes his fall, Blanka sits with a heavy thud. Unable to fight further, he flops onto his back and lolls an arm out, grabbing a watermelon. There is a moment or two when he tries to recover, tries to get up.. but no, he is just going to eat and relax, and try to recover from the bruising bat and the raw throat he's gotten from this epic battle!

*munch munch munch*

But what's this?? Hurricane Hime is sitting right there right next to Blanka! And she's not just sitting there, she's doing so while eating a banana, with a pear in the other hand and staring off over the end of the truck.

The girl seems thoughtful a moment, and after taking a bite from the pair, she says to Blanka, "Oh man, you -know- he's not coming back."
Munch munch. Just what kind of hero is she again?

COMBATSYS: Shoma has ended the fight here.
