Description: Gabriel and Ichiro fight for Neo League glory. (Winner: Gabriel)
Neo League. A mere means to an end. In this case the end was that Gabriel would have a chance, an excuse to beat on other people. She wanted to test them, but more importantly, she wanted to purify them. Which to her of course meant a great deal different than it probably meant to most normal people, but the definition of that was left to wiser people to ponder on. . or not.
Standing here now at the designated location, she awaits an opponent she knows nothing about. Her expression set, in a Justice high uniform with a long shard of glass, about the size of someone's forearm sitting next to her. One could only imagine what she plans to do with that.
Hefting the duffle bag slung over his shoulder, Ichiro nods to his unknown opponent and lets a small smile rise to his lips. "Ah, a Justice student! Nice to meet you, I'm Ichiro Oe, I attend Taiyo High." Also dressed in his school's uniform, Ichiro sets the bag on the ground and unzips it. "Just a moment please," he asks politely as he goes about donning his equipment. Buckling a pair of shoulder pads on his chest, Ichiro then pulls a pair of heavily padded gloves on his hands before plunking his visorless modern hockey-style helmet on his head. "There we go," he announces as he finally takes the lacrosse stick, more formally referred to as a 'crosse' in both hands, holding the stick casually in front of his waist. "Whenever you're ready."
Muttering under his breath as he pedals his bike into the clearing where his second Neo League fight is to take place, Ichiro Oe, Captain of Taiyo High's Lacrosse Team, sighs as he kicks the kickstand and parks his bicycle. Normally, he'd cruise up to the fight on his classic Honda CBR750F street bike, but that crazy rock and roll chick already saw to that. It'll need a few more weeks in the shop before its street ready again. So for now he's reduced to peddling. Oh well.

Kai Gabriel does not agree with the use of motorbikes. She finds them noisy, uncouth and undignified. She was not a fan of the motorbike being used was rather disgusted by their existence. Her disapproval was plain as day on her face. She stared a moment shifted a moment as though to banish evil thoughts.
"You may proceed." She finally says after a moment and gives the most marginal bows, so marginal in fact it appears almost less like a bow and more like an insult. She takes a fighting position after praying on her pendant, which consisted of bringing it to her lips, the golden looking thing of some sort of significance to her before dropping into an open handed fight posture, her eyes narrow.

Giving Gabriel a brief curious look as she frowns her disapproval at him, Ichiro just shrugs it off after a moment before his normal easy grin rises to his lips. "Alright, have it your way," he says with a confident smile as he bends down and reaches into his duffel bag one last time. Drawing forth a solid white rubber ball, a little smaller than a baseball, from the bag, Ichiro gives the ball a bounce on the hard packed ground before catching the lacrosse ball in the pocket of his crosse. "Heads up!" Ichiro shouts as he begins to jog towards the strange girl and slings the object through the air and towards her midsection.

Well Gabriel has never played the game before but she can catch stuff though, and so she does, which she then sends back over toward Ichiro with a frown and a call of ,
"Heads up!" Not so much as if warning him but more to mimic the words, the motion everything as close to exact as she can get it. The object goes back the way it came and she falls back into her normal position, looking ready as she possibly can.

"Huh?" Ichiro asks in confusion as Gabriel catches his throw and seems to imitate his actions. Frowning slightly as the ball flies towards him; the lacrosse player shakes his head as he seems intent on charging Gabriel headlong and letting the ball bounce harmlessly off of his padding. Rushing forward, Ichiro hunches slightly as the ball makes impact, but unfortunately the ball flies in a little lower than he'd expected and tags him in the pit of the stomach. "Oof!" he grunts as the shock of impact stutters his stride a bit, but he soon recovers and continues on towards Gabriel. "Not the talkative type, huh?" Ichiro asks with a grin, his eyes sparkling confidently below the rim of his helmet as he jukes to the side and attempts to knee Gabriel in the stomach as he rushes by her.

Using her body to the impact you would think that getting hit , or rather hitting her was the point, but she in a sense LETS herself get hit, merely turning herself to one side in order to let it sort of glance off a harder part of her body. This is then followed by a glare and a turn of her body in order to grab her opponent and hopefully throw him, quickly but effectively, one would hope.
"Repent!" she exclaims as she makes the motion, apparently trying to be more talkative? If park preaching was considered conversation or the sort of thing you should do in polite company.

"R-repent?!" Ichiro asks incredulously as his knee is mostly absorbed. "Uh... what for?" he asks as he is grabbed and thrown. Rolling with the toss, Ichiro manages to take the brunt of the impact on his shoulder pads and helmet as he comes up in a crouch. "I didn't do anything!" he insists as he glances at the ground next to him, spying the lacrosse ball he'd previously thrown lying on the ground nearby. "Ha!" Ichiro shouts as he dives to the side and scoops the ball up in the net of his crosse. "BOUNCE..." Oe intones as the ball in his crosse lights with brilliant golden chi. "...SHOT!" Taking a couple steps forward for momentum, Ichiro uses the stick to fling the ball at the ground between Gabriel and he, bouncing it off of the hard packed dirt and hopefully up into her midsection.

This time Gabriel plays it more safe and gets sent back a little with the impact. Her eyes narrow, her lips purse as she can't at the moment appear to get any significant advantage and instead lowers her arms and narrows her eyes.
"Repent for your sins," she states plainly, "The sinner who does not know they are sinner are the greatest sinner of all." She seems serious about this too and to illustrate her point, she glares at the motorbike.
COMBATSYS: Gabriel focuses on her next action.

"Listen. I have no idea what you're talking about," Ichiro says plainly as he reaches out with his crosse and catches the bouncing ball in its net after it rebounds off of the girl. Flinging the ball straight into the air and catching it again lazily, Ichiro just shrugs and gives the crosse a light twirl in his hands, the rubber ball rolling around in its pocket lightly as the stick spins. "So feel free to can the crazy talk whenever you want," he smirks as he flings the ball towards Gabriel's head once more, this time without the golden chi.

And for her part the self proclaimed crusader of light goes for a clot of dirt and rocks and tries to interrupt the flight by hurling it at the incoming object. Instead however, and much to her dismay, it ends up catching her square in the face, which is not so great. She blinks a few teps and steps back, looking clearly dazed. For the moment, her speech is canned.
"Yeah, that's more like it," Ichiro says with a grin as he rushes in on Gabriel. Using the shaft of the crosse as a fist pack, the lacrosse captain attempts to punch the girl right in the solar plexus. Ichiro always feels a little odd when it comes to punching girls, but that sort of thing seems to be okay when it comes to sanctioned fights. Still, it takes some getting used to.

"Itai-yo!" cries the Crusader as she seems not to try to avoid the incoming attack, infact gets hit by it to some extent before clasping her legs around the neck of her attacker and starting the motion of a especially unpleasant frankenstiner followed by a sound of 'Tsch'.
Somewhere, Vice's lawyers are making some phone calls.
At the end she gets to her feet and busies herself with dusting herself off because it would be disgraceful to look dusty, after all.
"Wha?!" Ichiro gasps in confusion as the girl grips him around his neck with her legs. Not able to do much but enjoy the ride as he's flipped and slammed into the ground. "Uhh..." Ichiro groans as he picks himself up off of the ground and steadies himself. "That was... interesting..." he admits with a slight blush in his cheeks. Perhaps he wasn't taking this fight serious enough so far, but having a girl wrap her legs around your head, well... that is a sure way to get a 17 year old boy's attention, the pain helps too.

Why does everyone think that about Gabriel's attacks? She notices the blush but totally doesnt get it. She just narrows her eyes and then decides it is time to resume her assault. One hopes you enjoyed your time of respite. She makes her way in, draws up a palm to thrust at the nose of her opponent.
"Confess!" she exclaims while doing it. Somewhere the lawyers of Geonitz are starting to make some calls too and probably the makers of La Pucelle and Disgaea. Yes Gabriel was breaking a lot of copyrights today.

"Fine, I confess!" Ichiro gives in as Gabriel's fist flies towards him. Lunging forward simultaneously, Ichiro smashes Gabriel in the face with the haft of his crosse, flinging her punch out of the way in the process and deflecting most of the force of the blow. "I saw your underwear just now. But I could hardly help that!" he replies with a toothy grin.
Actually it was a palm thrust, Gabriel really doesn't use fists or punches, she does all palm thrusts, like Geese, or Gato or Hotaru. But that's neither here nor there because either way she gets much more than she gives and boy does it hurt. It was a really solid blow and she'd look impressed. . . if she wasn't so busy looking annoyed instead.
"Tsch!" she exclaims and then continues,
"Atone!" and then jumps at her opponent, tries to perch on his shoulders and if she can, send a purple flaring palm thrust to his face full of energy.

"What the..." Ichiro marvels as the girl leaps up to his shoulders yet again. Swinging his fist towards her wildly as he attempts to dislodge the girl, the lacrosse player struggles in vain as the purple blast of energy sears his face. "Gyaaah!" he cries out as he wipes vigorously at his face. It seems like the girl has found his weakness.
After which, Gabriel does a backflip off her opponent in order to land easily, but instead of aiming to land on the ground, she tries to do a hop kick off of Ichiro's face. She literally pretends to be playing hope scotch!

Flip kicked in the face, Ichiro stumbles back a few steps and wipes at his nose as it starts to bleed. "Not bad..." he says honestly as he inspects the blood on his hand. "But I have a lot left to give!" Dashing towards the rubber ball lying on the ground from the last time he threw the object at Gabriel, Ichiro scoops up the ball and charges at Gabriel once more. Gripping the shaft of his crosse tightly as he grits his teeth, Ichiro quickly spins and launches the ball at her once more. The ball has a lot more velocity this time, but she might have an easier time seeing it this time around with how he's telegraphing it.

She dosen't blink, and weaves round the attack. It reminds her player of a song where this sword thing named exor starts rapping and comments about a 'geno whirl'. Now back on the topic of the fight, she approaches and attempts to grab and shove her opponent, setting her ankle out in the way it would seem to catch him on his way back and to maybe make him topple, that would be awesome. She gives another 'Tsch' sound.

The ball wasn't really meant to hit, per say, just throw off Gabriel's rhythm. Unfortunately it does neither. Attempting to lunge forward once more as Gabriel tries to grab him, Ichiro is caught off guard by her well-placed ankle and is sent tumbling backwards and on to the ground. "Hnn.." Ichiro groans as he rubs his bottom wearily. The strain of the fight is starting to get to him.
Gabriel for her part is beginning to show signs of irritation. Her brow knitted in concentration before finally she seems to conclude that she's doing something right and charges forward,
"The Goddess shows me the light and the way, for I am her crusader of light."
The prayer is followed by a charge and an attempt to grab her opponent and hurl him headlong as far as he will go with a grunt of effort and exertion. The throw would be causing her to bend considerably.

Sliding across the ground as he's tossed Ichiro coughs up dust as he picks himself up to his feet. "Nnnnhh... Guess it's not my day..." Ichiro muses as he steadies himself. "But the buzzer hasn't sounded yet. The game isn't over." Charging at Gabriel with what's left of his strength, Ichiro throws a rough shoulder block at the girl, attempting to drive his shoulder pad into her chest and knock her off of her feet. If he's successful it's the boy's turn to leap on top of Gabriel, straddling her chest as he begins to wail away on her face with his crosse, striking her about five times before rolling off of the girl... if he's successful.

Meanwhile the attempt to avoid getting hit fails, Gabriel tries to shrug him off but gets hit instead for her trouble and you can just tell, it only makes her more upset. More and more and more upset. Every single hit. Her eyes narrow, her breath coming with grimaces while she attempts to regain her composure. A hand points out at her opponent meanwhile to demonstrate her general disapproval of his actions.
But she remains silent.
COMBATSYS: Gabriel focuses on her next action.

"Nothing?" Ichiro asks as the girl holds up her hand at him. "I told you, the game isn't over yet!" Dashing towards Gabriel, Ichiro jukes to one side and runs by her, but before he passes by, the teen attempts to lash out with his lacrosse stick and strike her right in the gut with enough force to double her over.

Gabriel 0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0 Ichiro
This was a act of timing required, as Gabriel tries to make herself backflip just as the other assault reaches her, to capture it and then slam her attacker hard into the ground, but the timing, off only a moment, means that her attack actually aids the oncoming attack and ends up with her, yes, in the ground, only after getting nailed. It really sucks. She sits for a moment and seems to be in a daze.
Sliding to a stop on the other side of Gabriel, Ichiro crosses his arms as he turns to face her. Though he is caught up in the heat of competition, Ichiro isn't about to attack a dazed girl as she sits on the ground. "Can you feel it?" He asks with a grin as he waits for her to ready herself. "The buzzer is about to sound, but which one of us is going to be standing when it does?" he adds, his normal friendly smile looking somewhat eerie on his bloody face.

The crusader of light gives a small grunt as she considers her opponent, briefly. She doesn't seem to be in a communicating mood, infact, she doesnt appear to be even treating her opponent as though he were a person, so much as a problem, something to be dealt with.
"In the name of the Goddess," she says, though clearly to herself,
"I will not fail. . "
And then she approaches and tries to throw her opponent, just like that.

Rolling as he's thrown, Ichiro manages to take most of the impact on his pads and helmet again, but even that little bit tires him out almost to the point of dropping. Pushing himself to his feet, Ichiro dashes in and tries to knee Gabriel in the gut for the second time.

The crusader of light brings her knee up to catch the blow and deflect it from hitting her more sensitive tummy and grits her teeth. She's not going to let this go unanswered though, Gabriel brings her hand up and aims a palm thrust at the jaw of the lacross player, in hopes that it could end things once and for all, even if it was just enough to do it.
"Now. . Pray!"

Sensing the end is near, Ichiro doesn't even bother blocking the palm strike, rather he just sends his head whipping forward towards Gabriel's own, attempting to strike her in the face with headbutt. Hit or miss, Ichiro will soon be down for the count, as Gabriel's final palm strike will be the end of the fight one way or another.

For her part, Gabriel just tries to move aside to catch the head on her shoulder. Which she does, winces and then turns to walk off, literally without another word. Her expression dark.
"Goddess, have mercy. . I only regret that I can not save them from themselves after purifying them in this.." She frowns a little for a moment then continues to leave.
