Description: Wherein Alan R. B. breaks world records for offending women simultaneously, and is promptly crushed by two schoolgirls. IT'S A LOT LIKE LIFE. (Winner: Sada)
Girls Rule! I am woman hear me Roar! Some other empowering phrase for females!
That's what it's all about tonight. There's enough estrogen in the crowd to make Zangief run away crying! Admittedly it's coming primarily from a great many girls who haven't even made it out of Middle School yet, but they still pack a great deal of the Youth Fighters Community Center here in Downtown Southtown, with a large, padded section of the floor kept entirely clear right in the center of it all. This is really just the sort of opportunity Taiyo's Hinata Wakaba has been looking for in her quest to bring the glory of the Fight to everyone, and with the help of the Saturday Night Fight camera crews, her message can span the globe.
The Sunshine Girl has already set herself up in one corner of the open floor while she awaits the other demonstraters, clad in her standard Taiyo blues and stretching out all of her limbs with an otter pop dangling from her mouth.
Sada is approaching this entirely differently. However, she is also wearing her uniform, minus the jacket - it's a little hot under those bright Saturday Night Fight lights!
She's got the kusarigama out, though, and is whipping it around in a series of complex, if somewhat less than useful, maneuvers; the light glittering off the metal chain forms a series of simple figures in the air, until at the end she twists it up, overhand, throwing the weighted end up - and catching it on two fingers, stopping it dead.
She then turns to look over towards her fellow schoolchild, eyes crinkling slightly in a vaguely friendly smile. "Good luck!" she calls out, raising the sickle as if to give a salute. Maybe it's also friendly! Sickles only have somewhat ominous implications, after all.
Nobody should really be surprised that Alan somehow managed to determine how to enter the fight in the most offensive way possible. Does he seriously /plan/ on how to be as big a dick as possible, or does it just come naturally? This can't possibly be a simple accident of personality.
The door into this room of the community center flies open as if kicked, which it likely was based on the way Alan's booted foot comes leading in, his customary smirk planted on his face. He throws bundles out to the girls as he enters - as he is undeniably handsome, the rising star has some female fans, which actually go for the packages - but he loses more than a few of these fans as they unfold the bundles to discover floral print aprons with a recipe for some kind of pie tucked in one of the front pouches. Grumbling follows in Alan R. B.'s wake as he mounts the padded floor, electricity crackling around his skin. His last two aprons are tossed to Sada (chocolate cherry pie) and Hinata (something called pumpkinberry pie), and he makes a slow turn, lighting up a cigarette as he surveys the crowd. He is situated directly below a No Smoking sign on the camera feed sent out to the TVs.
After he has made a complete circle, an incredulous expression passes over Alan's face, and he spreads his arms wide. "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! Aren't any of you /legal?/"

The apron is caught quite handily by the young Hinata, and as she unfolds it, a curious look crosses her face before brightening. That recipe actually looks pretty good and the apron's cute, too. One hand pulls the otter pop out of her mouth as it breaks into a wide smile, "Oh, thanks, I'll have to try this out sometime!" It's quite clear from the confused expressions of some of the SNF crew that this isn't quite how they expected things to go.
Then Hinata notices the cigarette and her brow furrows slightly, "Hey, can't you read the sign? And besides, smoking's bad for you!" With that she hefts the now mostly melted otter pop right at Alan's face with the clear intention of snuffing out of the death stick.
Sada's head whips up as something is thrown at her, and a moment later she flings the ten pound weight on the chain forwards towards it as if nothing had happened. The apron is hit, wraps around the kusari, and gets yanked back. Sada plucks out the piece of paper, glances at it...
And then she lets out a slow, soft laugh. The entire package is tossed into the corner of the ring, and she looks up towards where the otter pop is being flung towards Alan's face. "If you think you're going to win favors with this kind of a present, I think you're going to get an unpleasant surprise!"
Yeah, she thinks, that sounded pretty good! She also snaps the kama forwards, the weighted end of the chain rippling as it snaps forwards, whiplike, towards one of Alan's precious, personal arms!

"Favors? I'm mostly just looking for dessert." Which, of course, he immediately gets as the flung otter pop grazes his temple in the /perfect way/ that the plastic edge cuts neatly through his skin, with a little spray of blood that causes him to twist just a bit to the right. "Ah, jeez!"
Fortunately, he's a bit more ready for the kusari as it comes flying at him. With reflexes honed against frankly ridiculous fighters and aided by all that chi, he palms the weight - it rings loudly against the backs of his iron rings - and twists his body as the momentum still manages to unbalance him and send him down. He hits on his shoulder, but spins back to his feet in a blurry of motion.
His feet slide dramatically across the ground, leaving a trail of lightning as he quickly picks his target and moves, lunging palm-first at Sada with a sneer. "Though by the way you said favors, it sounds like you're not entirely closed to the possibility! Give me a call in a few years, babe!" He suddenly makes a perfect 90 degree turn on his heel, hand snatching out toward Hinata to catch and twist himself into an abrupt chokehold, electricity crackling vigorously around his body for a few moments - accompanied by a taunting puff of smoke.
"I don't think the surgeon general took being amazing into account."

Well that first attempt to snuff out his light didn't work quite as expected, but that's hardly the end of it. She seems ready to move in at Alan the moment he starts to go in toward Sada, but the sudden switch in direction puts her slightly off guard. Pulling every ounce of her focus into moving faster, she manages to slip off to the side as the chokehold holds nothing but empty air. "Awesome or not, you really do need to put that out. Just look at the sign."
Whether or not he's dumb enough to look at the sign (it's hard to tell), Hinata's hands pull off to the side, ignighting a spark of blue chi between them at begins to grow steadily as she thrusts them forward, aimed right for Alan's head as she ultimately lets loose a burst of basketball-sized chi that blossoms out into a beautiful sunflower that gets applause from the girly crowd, even if it doesn't it.
It's a little depressing when an otter pop gets more of a rise out of the enemy than your own weapon, but Sada adapts to this pretty well. She yanks the chain back along with the weight as Alan moves around to put his effort against the poor, dainty, innocent Hinata!
This gives Sada the opportunity to strike. She twists the kusari around at her side once, building up speed, and does not take any sort of a step forwards! Why? Well - really, if Alan's blasting people at short range, and Sada remembers him doing so quite clearly, the best thing to do is stay the hell away.
"I guess you're still sore, aren't you," she asks, before flinging the chain length forwards, aiming to grab and yank one of Alan's legs out from beneath him.

Alan's leg blurs as he yanks it up away from the chain, making a short hop to get fully out of the way. "You know what? I don't want to talk about it. It's in the past." Eyes still locked on Hinata, he spots her drawing back for a projectile - a common sight - and leaps backward. "Oh, come on, is that a flower? Is that a goddamn flower?"
Still in the air, Alan pulls his own right hand up, but his chi gathers almost instantly - most of it is already there, and just swirls into a small orb of yellow chi. He whips his hand out once - "Strike!" - and a bolt of lightning jumps across, cracking into the sunflower and surrounding it with electricity. The whole mess stops cold. The next bolt comes flying out immediately after, Alan pulling his hand back up. "Twice!" The next bolt slams into the mess, dragging Hinata's chi along into a huge yellow-and-blue swirling, crackling mess.
Then he lands, and brushes out his vest. "Seriously, showing your flower in front of all these impressionable kids? It's just plain indecent." Alan sneers like he's never sneered before.

Hinata's eyes go wide as the bolt of lighting goes blasting right through the center of her beautiful chi burst flower. Of course, there isn't much time to react, but the girl tries her best regardless. In a flash, she launches herself up into a spin kick, sending one of her shoes flying off of her foot and aimed right for an intercept course for the oncoming strikes. Of course it's just a shoe, and apparently lightning doesn't give a damn about shoes one way or the other. The bolt simply blasts the shoe out of its path without any sign of weakening, both strikes taking the girl full on in the chest as she lets out a shrill scream before dropping down to her knees.
"Wh-what are you even talking about? Start making sense!" It takes her a moment, but she manages to push herself back up to her feet.
"Oi!" Sada says as she pulls her chain back. "Hinata!" She twines the chain up around her arm for a moment, grasping the kama's hilt at a slightly off angle as her eyes flick towards the screaming girl. "Don't let him get in your head. He's trying to make you doubt yourself..."
And now she dashes forwards, letting the chain trail behind her - the heavy weight resting on the ground as she runs in to swing the sickle around to slash at the electrical man's side. She HOPES keeping her hand off the metal is going to prevent her from being blasted by an enormous electrical shock.
As she swings, she finishes her thought: "So he can avoid your attacks!!" She better get the idea, Sada thinks mid-swing, or else I'm gonna have to hit HER too.

Alan spits the cigarette butt out with derision, stomping on it. It's dead, and so, Hinata gets her wish! After a fashion. "Flower can be a gentle slang term for a virgin vagina. Gotta learn these things sometime, kid."
He spots Sada coming out of the corner of his eye. "Oh, come on." The boxer tries to twist out of the way, but the kama makes a neat slice through vest and shirt, and he stumbles back a few steps amidst an arc of blood. "This is a free-for-all, ladies, I'm sure the viewers at home would rather see you two go at it than give me all the fun!" He shifts and winces, then runs a thumb down the buttons of his vest, popping them out and casting it aside. Alan smooths out his shirt, rolls up his sleeves - electricity apparently crackles across every inch of skin - and adjusts his shades.
Finally, instead of the common 'come on' gesture, he points at Hinata and Sada, then brings his hands together. "You don't want to disappoint the organizers, do you?"

With Alan's rather crude explanation, an actual look of anger manages to cross the girl's face (and a few of the parents standing around the crowd of young girls look about ready to jump in and kick his ass all on their own). "That's a horrible thing to say! It doesn't even have anything to do with this fight."
Once more pulled back up into her proper fighting stance, the Sunshine Girl darts in toward Alan with a fierce look in her eyes, "Maybe this'll turn into a real fight when someone manages to shut that rude mouth of your's!" As she comes into closer range, she ducks down into a crouch, sliding forward across the mats a few feet before launching herself up off of the ground, her fist bursting out in flaming chi as she begins to rise up into an impressive, spirally uppercut aimed right for Alan's jaw.
Sada raises an eyebrow after Alan speaks up, and her head tilts to the side. The electrical display doesn't get much of a rise out of her, although she does nod to herself when Hinata steps forwards, aiming her wrath forwards and upwards towards Alan's handsome yet vulgar chin!
She lets the kusari land at her feet and stretches for a moment, head lolling back as she rolls it around. After this stretch, she picks it back up, raising the weight from the ground and stepping sideways around the two chi-slinging warriors.
She doesn't throw anything at them (possibly because of the electricity).

Alan's hands and forearms become a wall as Hinata's fist flies up at his head, lightning swirling around in a kind of shield to counteract the fire. He almost stumbles a few steps back with the force of the hit, but keeps his faculties enough to swing his hand aside. If all goes well, he'll have flung Hinata's arm out to the side, giving him the opening he needs. "Big red demon fuckers haven't managed it yet, you think you're going to do it?"
He briefly considers pressing the attack on Sada... but makes no outward motion of this, stepping toward Hinata and bringing back a crackling fist. Apparently deciding to keep the pressure up on Hinata, he aims a hard, crackling blow right at her little girl stomach, following it up with a hard left to the cheek.

While the attack doesn't seem to go the way it was intended, things don't end up too badly for the girl. As Alan thrusts her arm off to the side, she's already using his own force against him as she simply pulls the rest of her body along after it, dragging her right out of Alan's reach as both punches simply swipe through empty air. "If you're going to try to hit me, you'll need to be faster than that. And you really really need to learn to watch your language in front of these kids!"
Hoping Alan having thrown all that force off in one direction would keep him off balance, Hinata brings one of her own legs up and around in a short roundhoused aimed to slam right into Alan's side.
"Listening to him swear and insult women's pretty tedious," Sada says, to nobody in particular as she comes to a full and complete stop, head leaning forwards in what is an assumed posture of total relaxation. "And I'm sure he's going to pay for it, even if he is just doing it to psyche us out..."
Her left hand lifts something up, gathering the chain on the kusari end and twisting it around at her side, passing it off to the other with a quick motion as she says, "But listening to you complain about their innocent ears is getting old! Don't you think -"
She rears that arm back, twisting the chain length forwards, along with the weight, in a swift arc aimed at Hinata's backside. "They know an asshole when they see one?!"

"Hahaha! You want fast?" The kick at his side appears to pass /right through him,/ his form only briefly flickering. "I guess it's time to pour it on!"
He waits for Sada's attack at her back to go off, then moves in and starts to run in a tight circle around Hinata. His speed increases sharply, afterimages forming until it's nearly impossible to discern exactly where Alan is. From seemingly random directions, a series of jabs, hooks, and straights dive in at Hinata, all of them crackling with electricity.
Then he hops away, still moving with that momentum, leaving a trail of crackling electricity. It's still really hard to pin him down at this point.

The chain finds itself coming in clean and completely in Hinata's blind spot, giving her almost no time to react, the weight bringing it in to wrap around the Taiyo girl's waist with enough inertia to send flying forward. This all, however, sends her right out of the path of Alan's dive, leaving her to roll right past beneath him and into a rather opportune position on his rear flank.
With timing of the essence it seems in giving her any sort of chance at a strike, Hinata's mouth stays clamped shut as she quickly jumps up into the air, fully extending her leg as it bursts out into flaming chi, quickly bringing it around in a speedy hurricane kick, each of the strikes aimed toward Alan's sides.

Sada pulls the chain back afterwards, twisting it a little to keep it from catching on anybody accidentally. (Purposefully, of course, is a completely different matter.) She takes a step back, not leaping back in - she watches, mostly, to make sure that if anything comes flying at her, it doesn't catch her completely by surprise.
Knowing you're going to get is a whole lot better!

The kicks knock Alan spinning away, some flames clinging to him, and he lands hard, rolling a little before regaining his feet. "What, no more totally adorable little girl declarations? I guess you do learn." He spits to the side, the saliva flecked with blood, and half-grins as he wipes from his mouth. "And now it's time for me to really get it going."
Alan flexes his right hand once, pulling it back like he's going to punch from right here... and relaxes completely. Electricity floods into his right hand in an instant, the tight control on the chi flooding through him released. "And... burst!" A bolt of lightning appears to strike him impossibly through the ceiling, crackling through his body, and he crosses the distance between himself and Sada (?!) at a ridiculous speed, apparently getting there in just two steps.
His right hand comes launching out at her collarbone, bolts of lightning snapping off the mass to menace the entire room. Thunder echoes off the walls. "OVERCHARGE!" All the energy floods out of the Big Punch Super at the hopeful point of impact, the static force making everyone in the room mildly uncomfortable for a fleeting moment.
With all the focus suddenly taken off of her and giving her a moment to think, she ends up using it to pull back away from the fray a short distance. This is a pleasant change from being attack on both sides, and it seems like now would be as good a time as any to press any advantage she could get her hands on...
With Alan so occupied with Sada and him already being so close at hand, it's just a matter of simply instinct for the Sunshine Girl to circle back around him and attempt to ensnare him around the waist, "It's pretty obvious you're not going to change because of a quick lecture, so why should I even bother anymore?" If successful in grabbing hold of him, Hinata quickly hauls Alan up off the ground with impressive strength before bending over backward into a rather basic german suplex with the goal of making Alan's head meet the mat.

Just as planned, Sada raises the kama up in front of her as she prepares to deal with the incoming force of Alan. She narrows her eyes, lips cracking in a grin even as electricity crackles around his body. Yes, she thinks, any moment - he just has to get within range - three, two, o-
The fist hits her with an enormous thundering roar. Sada goes flying backwards, the kusari falling to the ground and trailing comically behind her as she goes a good four yards before landing, several of the onlookers having quickly gotten out of the way. She twitches, several times, before climbing to her feet; this puts her clearly outside of range (for now) to beat Alan's face in herself!

Alan R. B. unwinds from the big punch quite cleanly, returning to his proper stance like a rubber band, snapping his hand to the side to throw a small, scattered wave of excess chi. "Whoo! Punched right into the kitchen." Hinata's arms lock around his waist, and Alan tries to overbalance her by jumping back with the suplex, booted legs swinging in a wide arc. "Hey, hey, time and a place, babe, the cops might catch us here!" If he had just a little more force in his swing, he'd've made it, but all he manages to do is help the suplex along.
He impacts hard, and rolls back clumsily to a knee, one eye squeezed close. But for total douchebags everywhere (and the winning purse), he cannot let it end here! Alan stubbornly pushes back to his feet, clenching his right fist, the electricity crackling around his skin still not diminishing. Most people look angry at this point, but Alan still has a smirk plastered on his face as he comes in fast, faster than he should at the level he's been getting pounded at. He comes up, iron rings on his fist leading, delivering a huge swing at Hinata's chin with no regard for the fact that she is an adorable little girl.

In a flash Hinata's back up and ready, a smile once more returning to her face as she feels Alan's head make solid contact with the mat and doesn't hear any more of his crude remarks afterward. Of course it seems he's decided to follow her lead of not giving your opponent more time to get ready by spouting off some quick comment. With a quick push backward she manages to force most of her way out of the fierce, rising blow, but it still connects against part of her chin, sending her flying over backward in a rather impressive flip that ends with her right on her back.
It definately hurt, and she's not in the best of positions, but once more she tries to make the best of the situation, suddenly thrusting a quick kick up at Alan's gut before flipping back up to her feet.
Sada is - for the moment - disappearing in the crowd of schoolchildren. Is this the defeat of Girl Power?
Then the kama gets thrown up and slung around one of the descending lighting fixtures -- which is hopefully made of sturdy stuff!! - wrapping around once and hooking over itself. Sada calculates, makes a gesture to the middle schoolers in front of her, and then hikes herself up, riding the kusari as if it were a tire swing...
She leads with both feet, pressed tight together, aimed forwards -- at Hinata?! This may not be deliberate, of course, since it's hard to see where she's going! (The light groans in complaint, but doesn't collapse.)

Normally such a PETTY BLOW wouldn't be enough to lay Alan out, but on top of everything else, it's the final icing on the cake. He stumbles back - toward the crew as opposed to the girls who hate him - and lifts up both his arms. He throws a final sneer, energy flaring around his hands, and then starts whipping them around.
First his left hand comes swinging down, snapping out a bolt of lightning, then his right hand follows. It wheels about to be whippped to the side with a third bolt, and finally, the fourth bolt comes out with his left hand coming up and ending in a point. All four bolts of lightning are pretty huge, burning across the air at Hinata far faster than the bolts that turned back the chi. "Thunder STORM!"
Finally, he stumbles back into the protective embrace of the SNF crew section, fetching up against the wall and leaning his head back. Damn - he could've made some money if they didn't just gang right on him at first.

Once more finding herself the center of attention, getting the hell out of Dodge is really starting to seem like a good idea to Hinata. With both attacks coming in at her, she makes a quick roll off toward the side, sliding out of the path Sada's tarzan style kick before hopping toward the side in a quick spin, leaving the bolts to simply sizzle against the empty mat.
Seeing Alan falling back and out of the fight, Hinata's trademark smile pulls back onto her face as she finds only a single opponent standing between her and victory. Although this opponent hasn't been nearly as rude as Alan, she's certainly not been nice about things.
Rather than waiting for Sada to come back around on the swing, Hinata darts off in her direction, kicking up off the ground and attempting to grab hold of her by wrist, putting bother of their weight on the lighting fixture in an effort to bring it down and slam Sada against the mat.

"Ha ha ha," Sada says as she swings gaily past Hinata, turning her head to look at her. "You're pretty clever -" She then twists on the swinging chain, sliding off and grabbing hold of the kusari's base before twisting it around in a complex way. The kama comes unhooked, but doesn't fall immediately...
"But your awareness isn't very refined, is it?!" Sada then yanks, hard, on the chain. The sickle, sitting up there, gets hooked on the cable itself, resisting for a moment. It hangs there for a moment, and then it gets through the resistance!
By cutting through the cable. The lamp tumbles and falls downwards, /very approximately/ towards Hinata.

"Well it's not easy to grab someone who's swinging around like a monkey, you know." Hinata's tone isn't exactly hurtful, in fact one could easily say it was more of a friendly remark than actually suggesting Sada was like a monkey. Of course this doesn't matter very much because even as she finishes speaking, the light fixture is already coming down on a direct intercept course for the young Sunshing Girl. Making her best attempt to get out of the way, it's somewhat difficult to track the falling fixture's downward path and it manages to clip her across the shoulder, knocking her down to her knees.
That doesn't seem to keep her down for long, and as she pushes herself back up to her feet there's almost a tangible pulse of energy flowing out from her body. Her eyes take on a more serious appearance as she locks them in on Sada, her legs pumping as she begins to dart in at her opponent. Even before reaching Sada, she kicks up off the floor, fully extending her leg as it bursts out into brilliant, flaming chi on past her knee, bringing it all around into a whirlwind fast hurricane kick, each rotation brings her higher and higher off the floor until the final strike comes in at what would be head height on the other girl.

Sada brings her arm back in what would likely have been a vicious arc down - it might have been something far worse, if it wasn't for Hinata being a hairs' breadth faster than her. The first kick strikes her arm, and the rest slam into her chest; the jacket she wears tears and rips and she lets out a stifled groan of pain, the final kick to her head sending her staggering to the side.
She straightens. It's slow, and she breathes in as she does so. "You're fast, aren't you," she says, waving the kama around towards her. "You're fast. You have that power inside you, which you control. You move quick, sharp, striking blows and leaping away with that power of light inside of you..."
She turns her head and spits something slightly bloody out onto the floor again. "What... was your name again?" she asks, shifting her leg to the side and staring right at Hinata again. "I think I've gotten you confused..."
There's a somewhat concerned look across Hinata's face as Sada seems to have had a few bolts knocked loose by her furious hurricane kick. "I'm Hinata. Hinata Wakaba. From Taiyo." She takes a few steps closer toward Sada, although not quite close enough to put herself within ready reach. She makes a quick glance over toward the SNF crew sitting around, as if not entirely certain if she should continue the match... but there's no signal to cut things off.
Rather than risk causing more serious damage, Hinata starts to pull back out a little, trying to gather herself together while giving Sada the same opportunity to get her bearings back.

"Hinata Wakaba," Sada says, her voice losing some of its thickness. "That's great... I'm glad to meet you." She raises her head, and smiles. It's only slightly bloody. "But you know," she says, "if you're worrying about whether or not I'm too badly hurt..."
She tosses the kama in the air, catching the chain after half a meter and starts spinning it at her side. "You should worry about yourself!" She dashes forwards, twisting the spinning weapon around, leading with the blade - which is certainly flashy, if /horribly dangerous/. "If you're tired of fighting, just say so!!"

It seems a fair assumption that Sada's not too hurt to keep on fighting, and Hinata is quick to make sure that the same can be said for her. It's a simply roll to the side to get out of the oncoming assault, kicking back up into a ready position, "I'm not done fighting yet, although after the blow you took the the head maybe it would be better for you to take it easy."
In another flash she darts back forward, leading with a punch aimed right for Sada's side, quickly followed by a frenzied collection of flying fists moving so fast that practically only her hands are visible at the end of each strike. Then one final thrust forward is made, her fist exploding in a burst of blue chi.

As that punch comes forwards, Sada seems to wobble. The kama shifts in her hand - and then she strikes outwards with the flat of the blade at that first strike, stopping it, for a moment, dead. "That's useless," she says.
Her lips curl back slightly into a grin, and then she spins the kusari end around, the weight whirling through the air with a nearly musical hum. "I AM taking it easy," she declares, which is probably exaggeration... then she slams that spinning weight down, drawing it back and forth quickly to slam it repeatedly into the side of the Taiyo student!

Finding her strike swiped aside and suddenly put in a rather poor position, it becomes apparent that she doesn't have enough time to simply get out of the path of the incoming assault. Rather than try to move out of the path, Hinata simply seems to stand there, gritting her teeth each time the ball comes into contact with her side in what's sure to be a hell of a bruise tomorrow.
"That... was a good shot, but let's see if you can hold up to this!" Just as the last strike is pulling away from her, Hinata lashes out with her leg, sending her foot first in an fierce kick aimed to slam directly into Sada's chest with all the force of her legs.

Sada steps backwards quickly as Hinata approaches. She brings the sickle up, and it seems that the third time is the charm - the blade hooks into the incoming kick and wrenches it aside, leaving a cut as well as some possible joint discomfort as Sada gives a few steps worth of ground.
"You aren't familiar with the kusarigama's method, are you," Sada says, lightly. "Most people aren't; I suppose I'm lucky!"
With her leg yanked out to the side and a fairly nasty cut digging into the flesh, Hinata lets out a ear-splitting shriek, dropped down to her knees. It's brutal enough to send a fair number of the young female audience into shrieks of their own , especially with the blood dripping down her leg and puddling on the mat beneath her.
"That's... that's a pretty fierce way of fighting, but if you think it's going to put me out of the fight, you should think again." Hinata darts forward in a low crouch, easily closing the distance between the two despite her wounded leg, then blasts up off of the floor into a spiralling uppercut, her fist trailing burning chi behind it as it attempts to connect solidly with Sada's throat.

"I'd be disappointed if it did!" Sada cries out, before she sees that crouching coming. She can't avoid THAT by ducking, and so she leans back, extending a leg in another direction in a peculiar, almost ballerina-esque style as she twists the far end of the chain around... towards Hinata's lower leg.
She doesn't pull the loop taut, right away at least, instead stepping to the side. "But the danger when you fight with your heart..." /Now/ she yanks, twisting the chain over her shoulder and bending sharply forwards to put her upper body strength into the abrupt throw - "Is when it overrides your head!"
The chain rattles before it goes taut, like nothing more than an old fashioned snare trap. It's a good thing that there's nothing but mat within the immediate area of Sada. Good for Hinata, anyway.

With her movements off from the wounded leg and her last attack so easily avoided, Hinata doesn't quite seem to have the coordination available to keep out of the fiercsome snare. She finds herself yanked up off of the floor and ultimately slammed back down onto the mat with a heavy thump, practically knocking the wind out of her.
But even through all of that, the Sunshine Girl manages to push herself back up onto her feet, a wide grin on her face, "That was a really good move, I didn't see it coming." Of course, the same probably can't be said for what comes next. Yet again Hinata darts forward, launching a furious assault of fists, strikes aimed almost randomly as they try to punch through to every portion of Sada's torso. Then as her fist pulls back from the final strike, she drops down into the familiar crouch, immediately blasting back up off the ground in a furious, flaming uppercut.

Sada does not attempt to deal with this last-ditch attempt in any sort of bold and dashing way. She immediately leaps backwards and lets herself fall down on her ass in the process, oof'ing at the impact and gritting her teeth for a moment. Afterwards, she pushes herself up to her feet, with difficulty... and says, "Not a bad fight." She then wipes her lips off with the edge of her torn sleeve.
COMBATSYS: Sada has ended the fight here.
Rugal goes home.
