Description: [Zach vs Tiffany] Zach and Tiffany go deep-sea diving. They also punch each other. [Draw Match]
Tiffany sulks. All this prep-time, getting ready to look her best for the match... and they stuffed her into an unflattering bodysuit made of tarp with an opaque goldfish bowl over her head, "I bet they can't even tell which one of us is the girl anymore." she gripes, hands on her hips in an angry set as they start lowering her under the water.
At least the diving helmet makes it hard to see the red gridmarks etched across her face. Anyone (such as maybe Zach,) looking her way when she was suiting up couldn't have missed it.... she's tried to cover it up with tasteful make-up, but a helmet's really the only way to hide the fact that she looks like she had a vicious encounter with a tennis racket at speeds barely under the speed barrier, "This totally sucks.
Zach twists and turns in the large suit; it is made for someone larger than he is. He looks over at Tiffany, then at the fight crew with an incredulous look on his face.
"You're kidding me, right?" Zach gripes. He is not even sure if the suit will stand up to the abuse he will undoubtedly deal to it. Zach question is rewarded with an unceremonious drop into the water. *KER-SPLOOSH!*
Zach grouses a bit while sinking, attempting to get used to breathing in this thing.

Zach 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Tiffany
Tiffany tries a few experimental moves in the submerged environment, and frowns at the drag slowing down the motions, "This is gonna be like Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men doing ballet." she says with a frown. An experimental punch puts a lot of her strength into the motion, sending water swishing around in an echoey manner. She looks at the other descending shape, frowns behind the port-hole, and decides that aggression over hesitation is the way to go.
Though she's a boxer, Tiff's also a cheerleader, and that means she's got strong legs. She kicks them out behind her and up now, causing the suit to lurch forward and spin heads over heels over heads over heels towards Zach with sudden velocity. Did she mean to do that?
COMBATSYS: Tiffany successfully hits Zach with Groovy Wheel.

Zach 0/-------/---====|=------\-------\0 Tiffany
Zach twists, unable to get out of the way in time. The kick forces him up slightly, rocked by the impact. Glen twists slightly. Luckily for him, his moves do not require a whole lot in the way of physical force. Providing he does not wreck the suit, anyway.
He looks down at Tiffany for a moment as he brings a hand up. Purple energy flares around the outstrecthed hand, before lashing out with a couple of baseball sized projectiles.
COMBATSYS: Tiffany blocks Zach's Warning Shot.

Zach 0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0 Tiffany
Tiffany landed the first blow! This is great! However, now she's upside-down. This, particularly in a diving suit, is not so great. She'd better get herself back upright before she lands on her head. That's when she sees Zach's chi bursts come flying her way, and she screams, "What!?? Are you crazy?! You'll puncture the suits! Oh CRA-!" She manages to deflect most of them with surprising deftness, considering the environment, and is swung around through the water like a tetherball for her efforts
Enhancing her momentum, she kicks her legs hard and tries to swing herself around the side to give Zach a swing-by punching! "Are you nuts?!" she garbles behind her porthole, completely oblivious to the fact that he probably can't hear her.
COMBATSYS: Tiffany successfully hits Zach with Quick Punch.
- Power hit! -

Zach 1/------=/=======|==-----\-------\0 Tiffany
Not chi. Psycho Power. Zach cannot hear Tiffany as he slams a fist into his side. He grunts slightly as he turns towards the cheerleader. He hangs for a moment before continuing to drift downwards. He's noticed that his power really does not /do/ much to clothes. It just hurts like hell.
The energy flares up around his fist as pivots, and slams a punch at the Pacific student's midsecion.
COMBATSYS: Zach successfully hits Tiffany with Burst Strike.

Zach 0/-------/-------|======-\-------\0 Tiffany
Tiffany tries to roll out of the way, but the cumbersome suit just leaves her stranded. *POW!* Her face slams against the front of the diving helmet... or at least, it feels like it does. Her opponent's psychically impactive blow seems to send all the air rushing out of her lungs. She grits her teeth, wondering if she has a moment to check and see how close they are to the ocean floor... where they'll start cutting the air. She decides she doesn't, and her own fists begin to glow with their own kind of power.
Groovy Power.
Zach's one strong blow is met by a rapid series of powerful, but wild jabs surrounded by bright lights... and pink hearts? (or is the oxygen deprivation already started?)
COMBATSYS: Zach dodges Tiffany's Groovy Knuckle.

Zach 0/-------/-------|=====--\-------\0 Tiffany
Zach blinks. He's seen a fair bit since he started fighting. Robots, power-mad arms dealers, even a girl who used /paper/ as a weapon. But Tiffany and her hearts takes the cake. Zach twists, shoving the punch aside with a gloved hand. He grunts before attempting to step up his offense a little bit.
He keeps his hand on Tiffany's arm, and attempts to simply drive a knee into the taller girl's midsection.
COMBATSYS: Tiffany blocks Zach's Heavy Kick.

Zach 0/-------/-------|======-\-------\0 Tiffany
Tiffany brings up her knee and covers for her midsection with her calf. It stings, but she's trying to keep her air inside her torso now, thank you very much. She smiles gleamingly from behind the helmet, and lifts her fist high. It's kind of the reverse of an upper-cut. She intends to try and use her strength to knock him down so he gets closer to the ocean floor before she does. Through the glass, she mouths, "Look out below, sweetie.~ <3"
COMBATSYS: Tiffany successfully hits Zach with Strong Punch.

Zach 0/-------/--=====|=======\-------\0 Tiffany
Zach starts to plummet towards the sea bed, courtesy of Tiff's strike. He starts to flail a bit, before settling down somewhat. He throws an arm forward.
For a brief moment, nothing happens. Then the big purple beachball flares into existance in his hand. Tiffany is not going to like how it feels, to be certain. Unfortunately, it is only going to serve to propel Zach dangerously close to the bottom of the water...
COMBATSYS: Tiffany endures Zach's Impulse Flare.

Zach 0/-------/=======|=======\==-----\1 Tiffany
Tiffany, having deflected her foe with her fist, watches him go barreling down and finds a moment to scope out the ground hurtling up to meet him. Unfortunately, she also sees the Psi-blast hurtling up to meet her. As so often when she's in a situation like this, the blonde from Pacific high falls back on her favorite tactic.... the wild gamble on her own stamina capacities.
Instead of trying to pull away, or tucking up into a ball to guard herself, she spreads her arms and legs wide, like she's trying to make herself as big a target as possible... though the does try and angle it juuuust right.
The blast strikes her like a she's a rag doll... but the blast is off center, somehow. Instead of blowing her upwards toward the surface, it catches her in the upper body and sends her into a wild downward spin like a falling knife. She kicks and undulates her body in an attempt to enhance the spin, screaming out as she hurtles toward you like a buzz-saw made of... cheerleader legs!
COMBATSYS: Tiffany successfully hits Zach with Wonderful Kick.

Zach 1/=======/=======|=------\-------\0 Tiffany
Zach's eyes go wide as he is slammed to the ground. Things get... interesting as he bounces there for a moment. It's hard to move, and that comfoting hiss of air being pushed into the suit?
Gone.
Zach struggles to move, desperately trying to get off the ground to no avail. His breathing speeds up, consuming the remaining oxygen even faster. He whimpers.
And then he explodes. Perhaps not literally, mind you. But damn if there is not a lot of psycho power in the drink now!
COMBATSYS: Zach can no longer fight.

Tiffany 0/-------/----===|
Tiffany feels the power of her mighty cheerleader legs bashing Zach into the undersea soil.... with a little help from his own strength. She manages to stand tall... and that's when the air goes away. This sudden loss of life-giving oxygen is sufficient to distract her, so that when her foes final blow rockets forth, she can't dodge it. She tries, darn it, she really tries. But the burst of Psi lifts her off her feet and sends her drifting up through the abyss. She has the time to whimper, "I was sooooooo close." before unconsciousness claims her.
Maybe this is a lesson learned. She did put a bit too much power into that last attack. Took a lot out of her.
COMBATSYS: Tiffany takes no action.
COMBATSYS: Tiffany can no longer fight.
The crews, sensing that noone is fighting anymore, starts to haul the pair up.
What lies in store for these two young fighters? Have they eliminated each other from the tournament? Will they be summarily thrown off of the boat? Does anyone even care?
The fighters do not, they are both unconscious. Stay tuned, folks!
