Description: IN THIS EPISODE! Watch a friendship between the Teacher Katana, and one of his students! And to make it big, he has to help him against another student and his teacher. But in the end, it might end up unfortunately looking bleak for Katana and his protigee! STAY TUNED! ( Katana and Birdie vs Ryo and Raizo, seriously, it's awesome )
After the humiliating loss in the name of 'Oh God Giant Fireball', or better known as the OGGF from Ryo, Birdie had to track down the man. And, with a few news papers and a little research (aka beating the answers out of somewhere) Birdie found out that he indeed was of Kyokugen!
It's a good thing they have a really nice Dojo not too far outside of Southtown. It made it easier to get here really. And Birdie didn't come alone. Oh no, he brought Katana with him. It couldn't get any worse. If anything, Birdie can use Katana against Ryo as a powerful, mind altering weapon. And extra muscle!
As the muscle squad descends upon the Kyokugen Dojo, Birdie takes his first steps into the more quiet, tranquil entrance towards the dojo itself. He moves over, and purposely towards the large Kyokugen Dojo sign.
Rearing a fist back, Birdie fires it forward, a single punch delivered towards the front of the sign. No matter what it's made out of.
"Alright you bloody Kyokugen scum! Get out of that damned rat hole of yours!" Birdie calls towards the open door, trying to lure them out so suddenly.
AND SUDDENLY, FROM THE HEAVENS, THERE WAS....
FIRE TRUCK. Well, it comes from the ground, powering up the street as Katana drives it himself with a few members of the goon squad hanging off, the Shogun hitting the breaks and tearing a bit onto the Kyokugen Dojo's ... lawn. Yes. The lawn. Now has FireTruck marks. But it was necessary to show them the POWER OF THE SHOGUN. Through a truck? Katana is a truck! The one with the might of a truck!
And that's when Katana grabs the side of the metal on the truck and swings himself out, landing on the cement and looking around. "So this .. is the place of the justice group, that seeks to tear apart crime and all that we stand for!?" Katana says, drawing out his jitte and readying himself. "I will stand with you then and defeat these ... these..."
He walks towards the sign Birdie punched and looks at it. "Hmm... a .. DOJO. This is amazing! A glorious warrior filled palace of battle .. I am glad I have come, the Shogun of Mad Gear, to tear apart those who would stand in the way of my future victory!" His massive shouldered and armored self poses once, flamingo style, before standing and emitting a cry .. for all to hear!
"Yes, come so we will do battle! And it will be great battle! Unless .. you who run this dojo, are but spineless ones who grew lucky towards this one, Tauros! I will only wait so long to face you!"
He is totally ready. But he's also .. totally crazy? Maybe.
Why do they always attack the sign? Why not, you know, the door, or the grass, or Takuma's precious orchid garden. But noooo. It always have to be the /SIGN/. The poor, poor thing.
Ryo Sakazaki was inside the dojo at this late hour, 'meditating'(that is, loudly punching a wrecking ball while listening to some smooth, background music from the radio) until he hears a familiar crack.
The Raging Tiger stops dead in a punch, narrowingly evades the wrecking ball and calmly, very calmly, heads for the door. He opens it just enough to peek his head out. He looks around, blinking...then watch a firetruck FALLING FROM THE HEAVENS.
Or it seems like a punishment from there as the vehicle obliterated the beautiful greenery of the lawn. Not to mention his Father's beloved flowers. He's going to blame it on Todoh if he ever notices. That, he swears on it!
"Waaaaaait," Sakazaki lets out, opening the door and stepping out, standing proudly and staring down at the MUSCLE SQUAD and goons. "Did you just come ALL THAT WAY, broken my /sign/, bought along a few buddies just to have revenge on ME?!" He says, scowling.
"And I thought you were a good sport! That's even spineless to bring MORE people when it is only YOU that have a beef with me! So, that's a fight you want!?"
Don't stare too long at the big samurai dude, Ryo. Please, for the love of god, don't stare too long at...
Too late.
Ryo stops in mid speech to actualy catch a GOOD LOOK at Katana, blinking blankly in his direction. He even drop his outstretched arm famous battle stance to just stare. "...Okay, who the heck are you, anyway?"
Ryo has yet another visitor.
Raizo Imawano has been up to something no-doubt just and mighty and highly troublesome for any punks who think that surprise attacks in firetrucks from the heavens are a good and clean way to spend an afternoon! However, today, he shows relatively little sign of it, as he wanders past Kyokugen Dojo, possibly intending to swing by and dropkick Takuma to the moon for blowing up Justice High's arts building a few weeks back. The old bear ninja is clad in his favored outfit of a business suit big enough to blanket an entire poor African village, though the tie is loosened a little, and his hands are--
Covering his eyes as he stares down the street at the FIRE TRUCK IMPACT and Muscle Squad persons, and says, somewhat to himself, "I suppose I am a little overdue for a workout..."
And thus the old man wanders down in that direction, there to surely meet his destiny, or at least punch someone in the teeth.
Birdie rests easily as both of his hands reach all the way towards the ground as he just stands there, statue like. He almost looks like a gorilla from the side angle, but a very British one with a very nice mustache but even nicer bling to match.
And then Katana comes. When Katana comes, you always know it's a party. The firetruck stopping near him, Birdie just breaks out in laugher. "Ha ha hah hahah!" Birdie howls his teeth almost fang like inside of his mouth. He throws his head back and everything. He's a giant man. A grade A thug.
"Alright then. You betcha Katana. It's a Dojo. And it'll be yours if we kick these Kyokugen wimps out of of it." Birdie offers. He doesn't want it. Just to beat the heck out of Ryo, or at least try. Yeah. That's it. Try. REAL HARD.
Then Ryo comes out, and the Brit just grins. "So there you are! I was wonderin' if you were not bloody gunna show up! I'm glad you did though. You beat me back home, and now we're going to do the same." Birdie grinned, picking up the sight itself before...
An older man walked on site. "Hey, geezer. Don't be hanging around here. You might get hurt. Katana, escort him off or something." Birdie instructed as he looked back towards Ryo. "So like I was saying. You can have your sign back. But what I'm getting in this is better!"
And so Birdie literally HEAVES the sign towards Ryo, even as he's in the defensive stance. TAKE THAT.

The greenery of the lawn was the punishment of being a dunce! That's why! Had you answered the first time or gotten beaten up, then it would have went far better! And as such, Katana is now standing nearby the sign and the torn lawn and Fire Truck as he watches Ryo come out. Hahaha! How perfect, there he is.
As Ryo stares at the big Samurai dude, Katana catches his eye behind the mask. "I .. AM KATANA, MAD GEAR GANG SHOGUN! How you do not know of me, I am amazed, but you will know after tonight! For I will avenge Tauros with my JAPANESE MIGHT." He has a mark on his chest. It's .. nothing. It SHOULD be death. Thrusting the jitte up one direction, then another, it looks like he is READY. FOR. ACTION.
And that's when Raizo appears from behind them. Wandering slowly into the area. Katana .. doesn't notice him. Not yet! But it looks like Birdie is getting ready! Or has finished his planning. "My .. very own Dojo!? FOR MAD GEAR!?" Katana is enthralled, and perhaps that is two streams of tears flooding down the masks eyes. "YOU WILL BE DEFEATED, OWNER OF THIS DOJO, AND IT WILL BE MINE BY THE END OF US! HYYYAAAAAH!" With Birdie already heaves the sign towards Ryo, Katana .. isn't as intelligent. OR HAS MORE GUTS.
"I will show you the might and the heart and the soul and the spirit AND EVERYTHING OF A JAPANESE MAN!" He slashes towards him with the jitte as he launches himself through the lawn, and the cement, with dual blades flashing outwards! "FIERCEEE STRIKEEE HYOOOOOO!"

Blame it on Katana's apperance and shouting, but Ryo Sakazaki certainly don't seem to acknowledge the extend of the danger he's in...but he's actualy kind of stunned of the Samurai's apperance. Stunned, that is, that he's trying his very best to not drop dead at the 'wanna-be' japanese accent...and that kanji that means nothing on his chest. Just who IS that guy--
*TWOCK*
That's what you get for making fun of the apperance of others, Sakazaki. You get signs crashing on the side of your head and stabbed by a wanna-be-japanese big 'samurai' guy's weapons. The twin assault is more than enough to send Ryo stumbling back into the dojo, where the darkness of the building shrowds his presence for a few moments.
Until Ryo's angered voice rings out: "HIEN SHIPPU KYAKU!"
And out of the darkness, the Scion of Kyokugen burst out of the door with a flying kick aimed directly at Katana...for he's the nearest, obiviously. "IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU WANT, YOU GOT /IT/!"
Raizo, hands in his pockets and silent as the grave, wanders closer, observing carefully. Well. This is interesting. Two larger men beating on Takuma's boy! Normally, Raizo would let them discover for themselves the pain a Sakazaki can generate in short order, but...
...well, that's just not sporting behavior, right there.
Thus, even as Birdie spots him, he waves gamely, smiles cheerfully, and walks toward Birdie with a certain slow purpose to his walk. "Good evening, boys!" the old man finally says. "Fine night for a little study of the arts, eh?" He clenches, then unclenches his hands, and a perceptive person (ha ha ha, perceptive people at Kyokugen Dojo) might catch the glint of light off the razor-edged claws of his fingernails. "But, I have to say, it seems a little rude to maul a man's dojo sign and park a fire truck on his lawn! Maybe we should do something about that. It's not proper!"
If Birdie is dense enough to allow Raizo to get close, it is at this point he will find the old man punching him in whatever portion of his head is currently faced toward the juggernaut of a ninja.

Birdie's just minding his own business. Throwing signs at people and then WHALLOP some one bashes him on the head. It stings like you wouldn't believe. He was just an old man! Birdie had nothing wrong with old men getting closer other than they were going to get in the way, but the whallop that Raizo delivers to Birdie just sent all thoughts packing.
Stumbling forward from the single, claw liked punch. Turning swiftly, Birdie looks right to Raizo. Looking him up and down, he snorts. "What the -- alright. It couldn't have been you. I don't bloody believe it. So I'm going to give you to the count of three to get out of here." Birdie mutters as he looks down towards the man. "One..." Birdie begins, almost tapping his foot.
"Two!" Birdie huffs, throwing his head down and forward, trying to stab the older man straight in the chest with his head and his wonderful, sharper than a sword follicles.
He's suck a jerk though. He didn't wait for three.
"I'll show you bloody proper!" He angrily calls towards the man as he CHARGES IN, head first.

As Ryo is struck head on by the sign, and then he gets stabbed, being tossed within .. Katana looks on towards the Dojo. "That was easy! Hahahha. That Dojo .. will now be mine! And none shall stop it!" Of course, Ryo is not there, and it's all quiet and then OUT OF THE DOJO LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL. Ryo even screams.
A flying kick aimed straight for Katana's chest.. and Katana knows what one does. He positions his body .. leans back. Pulls his hands up annnnnd ... what? The kick slams into Katana's arms, sliding him back against the lawn. And what a lawn trail Katana makes! It seems rather funny all most, as he finally stops after hitting the Fire Truck.
But afterwards, Katana kicks off the ground. "You fight well .. but it is far from over! Let us continue .. and I will even show you one of my greatest techniques!" Ducking down, leaning towards Ryo, Katana attempts to leap into the air, jitte facing down .. and slam them into Ryo. "DAIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" He screams, before trying to pierce the skin and drive him to the ground, and then drive him against the ground as well, through the lawn and then onto the cement and then RIP THROUGH HIM IN THE GROUND. And the cement.
Afterwards, he'll toss Ryo into the building .. ONCE AGAIN. Or at the side of it, building lines wall! "BURNIIIIING!"

Ryo lands after his flying kick, watching Katana make an ugly lawn trail all the way to that fire truck, frowning throughly! "Hrmph." He dosent reply, waiting for the large, crazy samurai man to charge at him. Sakazaki flexes his knees, waits, outstretch his arms, waits...
And acts.
"OLÉ!" Ryo lets out, litteraly jumping upward and grabbing the charging man's sort-off ring that lies atop of his helmet, propelling himself even higher. He sails higher and higher, spinning on himself in mid-air to face the ground. A bright blue aura gathers in his right hand, fingers shaped like claws, to form a large fireball. "KUUCHUU KO'OU KEN!" He shouts, thrusting it downward diagonaly in the would-be dojo owner's back.
He lands, then, smoothly over that Firetruck.

Raizo is realistically anything but "just" an old man. He may not be as TALL as Birdie, or even Katana, but he's getting there. Plus he looks like a truck. Or a house. Or a bear. Or the hideous mutant created when a truck gets raped by a house and then the offspring gets raped by a bear.
And a wall. We forgot the wall. Birdy discovers this firsthand, as he charges headlong at Raizo, who...stands there. Unimpressed. Unconcerned. The blades of Birdie's mighty 'do manage to pierce his huge chest, but even then, Raizo simply stares down, able to do so only because Birdie charged him with his skull. "No," he says. "I'm afraid that's actually rather improper...when you say that, you're supposed to actually /wait/ until three. It's a gentlemanly sort of thing...I'm afraid I'm not really all that up on the rules of proper British pugilism, though, so you'd have to ask someone else about the actual rules."
And with this admonition given, Raizo grips Birdie by the shoulders, and with one massive leg, kicks out at Birdie's knees, aiming to knock the titanic punk flat on his back.

Birdie's an awfully big man! And when he charges, oh, he can already tell he's got the upper hand here! There's no way, no how the older man's getting out of this! Hahaha. Oh, it will be smashing! So... wait... why does it feel like his head is stuck in a house made out of bear walls on diesel? That's definitely and odd feeling!
"Wha-... bloody 'ell!" Birdie calls as the man literally doesn't move for him, rather, taking the blow and seemingly happy about it. Something's very odd about this. The old man... at least, the 'fat' old man, now the 'muscled' old man just reacts, taunts Birdie, and tries to grab him by the shoulders and with a quick maneuver, take out his knees.
And it all happens so fast. But the large hands of the man quickly shoot towards the floor, keeping his knees from buckling underneath his top heavy weight. "Sorry. I only follow a bit of the queen's rules. Pugilism ain't for thugs." Birdie states as he seems to coil like a snake, for a man his size, and vault forward, head first into the man's chest once more with his sharp follicle. If he was to really strike dead on, he would begin with the many different punches. But that's only if comes off clean.
And judging by the man's strength, maybe. His speed is yet undetermined.

As Ryo grabs the ring on his head of his mask, Katana gasps. "How COULD YOU!?" He says, before the man launches himself up into the air, spinning wildly! WELL. Katana will have to do something about then. "You ... TOUCHED THE MASK."
And that's when Katana charges straight towards where the fireball begins to collapse into. AND HE RUNS UNDER IT. Perhaps this isn't the best of things.
But either way, Katana attempts to outrun the fireball. This is a really bad idea. Really. BUT HE TRIES ANYWAYS, sandals powering against the ground. The Mad Gear Shogun is not retreating.. but moving into a better position, really!
And well, running under the middle isn't a good idea, as Katana finds out, and the entirety of the blast slams into Katana, the chi ripping through his natural defenses like meat and bone and all the other stuff. But after the GIGANTIC HOLE clears, Katana is standing. Wobbly, but standing. "I.. Is that it!? ... The .. Shogun is ... is STILL WANTING MORE!" Oh the pain. Katana can't even blink an eyelid, much less move. So his standing in place is kind of natural because he can't do much.
Except look at Ryo and focus on him with his eyes. Maybe .. MAYBE he can get body movement back in the end.
Maybe.

What's even more offending is that the Sakzaki is standing on his firetruck's roof! Can you imagine the SHEER INSOLENCE of that!? Ryo takes advantage that the Ko'ou Ken seemed to have dazed the crazy man to check just where that oversized british has been during that time, because he has been far too quiet.
His gaze rests on the giant of an old man that is...rather brutaly smacking the punk around. Ryo curiously tilt his head in his direction, shurgs faintly and gives an high-five from his position. He's not sure if it's going to be seen, but any help, even if he didn't really NEEDED it, is well appreciated.
Speaking of that...that masked dude is glaring at him.
Ryo stares down from his position, pointing down dramaticaly. "You fight well, I must admit, but you have still much to learn, warrior! However, I must say that you lack much politness and manners-- for one, I do not accept firetrucks on my lawn!"
He drops down from the room, landing near one of the cabin's door, an hand on the handle. "As such, I belive this vehicle is yours -- here! TAKE IT! PIECE BY PIECE! AND GET OFF MY PROPERITY!"
He pulls with all his might, ripping off one of the doors of the cabine and immediatedly flings it in Katana's path.

Raizo remains perfectly still, an unmoving, unmoveable mountain. Then Birdie is coming, and Raizo's eyebrow tilts upward just slightly. "You're right," he says, with that maddeningly game smile. "It's not for thugs, so, I suppose I could let you go on that." He's watching. Those eyes never move from Birdie's stance, and then he's coming, and then Raizo is standing there, stock still, is he going to just take the blow again!?
...no. "But, since you're here roughing up this young man's lawn, I don't believe I will," Raizo finishes, and then just as Birdie is coming, Raizo explodes into motion, thick streamers of chi coalescing around the front as Raizo leaps in, balled up into a cannonball, and slashing wildly with his claws, all the while drilling in with a powerful chi field.
As Birdie comes, well, Raizo explodes into him. The claws and chi coalescing around him barrels through Biride's max, breaking through everything he had put up, his head long rush... but not the hair! It's very follicles were still untouched. His head however was a bloody mess, and that's a crying shame.
Being thrown back at a unbelievable speed, Birdie hits the ground with a powerful thud, only to roll forward, and then come to a stop not too long afterwards, not too far from Katana. Bleeding and with claw marks all over his figure, Birdie just tries to catch his second wind, while ushering Katana on even through the darkest hour... FIGURATIVELY, of course.
"YO!... Bloke. Remember. For the damn dojo. It'll be yours and Mad Gears. C'mon! Put some heart into it!" Birdie cries as he flops back to the ground, slowly raising back to his feet.
BUT IS WHAT HE WANTED TO DO, DONE?!

The door slams hard into Katana face. It slams him towards the fire truck, and the pain from that one alright is felt. Katana is nicely laid flat against the truck as he slides down it. He's seeing stars alright, and at that point, Katana looks towards Birdie . That's right. Give it all he has. WHICH IS WHY KATANA SPEEDS UP, LEAPING INTO THE TRUCK.
And then kicks the ignition. "THEN I WILL REBUILD.. after I tear it down!" Katana says, and then slams his foot, sandaled, against the ignition and rushes forwards, towards Ryo and the DOJO.
Yes. The horn is laid upon, the lights are barreling down towards Ryo, and the whole truck is STILL GOING FOR HIM. HONK HONK.
"NOTHING WILL STOP THE MIGHT OF THE JAPANESE! I WILL HAVE MY VICTORY YET!" Katana is certainly not going down without a fight yet. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE HAS A TRUCK. And you just know this is important to him.
Maybe he'll have a new grill decoration!

Ryo, over years of fighting, has been attacked in multiples way, all different from one another. Swords, fists, gigantic beams, staves and frying pans have all plowed through his skull and flesh. He survived them all, rendering him stronger, each single time.
However, it's pretty rare to have a FIRE TRUCK being drived at you at mad speed by a crazy ...japanese? No, he rambles too much about it. Besides, the accent sounds...off. Way off.
He can take the truck, go around it...but the problem is the Dojo. That idiot intend of plowing through it -- and there is absolutely NO WAY that he's going to repair the thing again this WEEK. No way in hell.
Thus, he takes it. He stands in the path of the truck, not moving, holding his ground, waiting...waiting...
BANG. The heavy vehicle impacts against the Tiger, barely even moving him. Normaly, that would have sent him flying YARDS away. Normaly, however, he does not glow, radiate with /PURE/ blue sparks of chi, his arms crossed and his eyes faintly glowing. Oh, sure, it was a couple of feet, but not as bad as it should have been. Also, plenty of broken stuff, but he don't care too much about thoses now.
"YOU KNOW! I'M JAPANESE TOO, YOU JACKASS! RERRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sakazaki screams, leaping straight at the truck and deliver a MIGHTY PUNCH at the nuzzle.
BONUS TIME! BREAK CAR! 30 seconds!
Then another. "IT'S MY PLACE!" Then some more. "IT'S MY STYLE!" Then a /whole lot more of punches/. "AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE SCRAP AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Kicks soon join him, both working in destructive harmony of breaking and ripping apart the vehicle's front and making his way toward the driver. "OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!"
The flurry of blows soon ends with a mighty flying uppercut, hopefuly what will be hitting Katana proper.
Raizo...just stands by idly as Birdie goes SOARING AWAY, over there to, perhaps, cheer on his meddling cohort!
He cocks an eyebrow, not quite really taking action, just watching everything transpire with an old expert's eye.
He's pretty sure Ryo can take it from here.
"Not bad form," the old man muses. "That old coot taught the boy well."

Birdie just hunches over, and begins towards Raizo. He's not even trying to look like he's still unwounded. He's just walking up towards the man with his teeth clenched, his head low, and his body aimed forward as if in a different, more menacing prospect.
Somewhere, Birdie begins to look over the smaller man, looking for just something. He's not letting the old man out of this one just yet. Not just yet anyways. "C'mon. We're not bloody done yet!" Birdie answers, bleeding rather terribly.
He breathes, and waits, and breathes some more. He's not real happy, as one could only imagine.
"We ain't done yet." He repeats.

Not done yet Birdie? Yeah. That's what you think.
Meanwhile, Katana over here, is DRIVING THE TRUCK STRAIGHT AT RYO. And he doesn't let go of the steering wheel, tightening his grip on it. And as Ryo stops it with his body before sending off punch after punch KATANA DOESN'T LET GO.
Meanwhile, he does however, pray to the spirits. How? "Oh .... SPIRITS."
And that's when Ryo uppercuts Katana through the top of the Fire Truck, and INTO THE SKY. He flies upwards, spinning .. spinning .. SPINNING. And then eventually he has to come down, and down he does. Blades first. The Jitte aiming towards Ryo's shoulders to slam him into the cement.. "TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!" if he misses, well, SPLAT. He's out cold. But if he gets Ryo's body ..
He's going to charge him into the ground like he failed to do before. But if he doesn't, Katana is going to treat Ryo to BEING a truck, for free, by letting him go pretty fast, and dragging him across the cement body first. "CHUUUUUUUUUUU!"
And then heft him up, slam the jitte into him, and totally Japan like, POWER BOMB HIM. "SATSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" And then, of course, land in a sprawling heap of man.

Not to mention his ribs and back. Oh gods, his back /hurts like heck/. Grunting out in pain, Sakazaki staggers back up from his landing spot, holding his head and quickly shaking to clear it. As much that guy was a showoff, that STILL hurt pretty damn bad.
Wait. There were two of them, weren't there? Ryo turns around slowly to give a look in the british's direction, a fist tightening. This whole fight was ridiculous! "HEY!" He shouts out.
"IF YOU WANTED A REMATCH, A /REAL/ REMATCH, YOU COULD HAVE JUST SAID SO! But nooooo! You had to go 'aww I can't beat him along LET'S BRING ALONG MY PAL'. COWARD!" Sakazaki screams, his hand glowing with pure chi again and thursting out another fireball in Birdie's direction. Fortunately, it's not nearly as big as the one he hit him with LAST time. "KO'OU KEN!"
Raizo looks Birdie up and down a moment.
"Yes, I see that," he says, drawing closer. He's in a mild amount of pain, at worst, but...
...well.
"You're quite determined, sir, I must admit. I think that's an excellent virtue, though it's a shame you've decided to use it as you have." He steps closer, walking placidly onward as Birdie bleeds defiantly at him. "I suppose I can understand the allure of the life, although I personally feel that such activities can only end in pain. Perhaps, if I demonstrate this to you enough, you'll understand? Probably not...a teacher's dilemma!"
Raizo is still talking. This may be somewhat less of interest to Birdie than the fact that he has by now walked right up into Birdie's personal space, spread his arms wide, and is now moving to grapple Birdie in arms the size of duct pipes and then SQUEEZE.
He may or may not be attempting to crush the consciousness out of Birdie so that if and when Ryo inevitably explodes him, it will hurt less. Isn't Raizo nice?

The large Brit spent most of his energy shambling towards Raizo, the shorter, clawed man. To Birdie he was of course smaller. Almost everyone was smaller to Birdie, but that doesn't matter at the moment. He heard the grinding of metal. Obviously the truck had found it's end, or at least, a bit of down time. Either way, Birdie's still focused on dealing with Raizo.
But then Ryo shouts out at him. It looks like Katana was ALMOST there. ALMOST. Yet so far away! So what does Birdie do when the glowing fireball of pure chi comes at him? GRIN AND BEAR IT. Actually using it to propel him forward towards Raizo, the large Brit almost seems to have a sort of fire jet burning into is back but pushing him on towards the teacher.
"Yeah, yeah. Later... but, bloody 'ell not now!"
And that's when the teacher makes his move, aiming to actually get in close and squeeze, but Birdie, he comes to fast at first. Impacting with his head spike into Raizo's chest, he begins punching, slowly but surely losing strength once more. Sooner or later Raizo gets his arms around the flailing Birdie and finally takes the fight out of the man. Birdie's own strength comes from pure strength. Nothing flashy. Just strength.
"Ugh... bloke, you're a rock." Birdie says, only to be bear hugged. And, man, he certainly does go unconscious from the bear hug. It does hurt less now, the chi burns aren't reminding him every second of it. Raizo may very well have a doctorate in anesthesia. Either way, Birdie's down for the count.
For good reasons too! The man just lays there. For now.
Ryo watches the fireball crashes into the Brit -- and the Brit crashing into that monstruous old man with an eyepatch's bearhug. He don't think that he would have wanted to be in the place of that crazy punk. Pretty damn far from it, just by looking at how the man took that...hairdo impaling. He was at the end of it once, too, and he can say that it's no pleasant experience.
Sakazaki snorts after wipping out some blood from his mouth and nose with a sleeve, slowly shaking his head as he approachs Raizo, looking at the destruction around him, then at the downed Birdie. "He's a good fighter, but I guess I overestimated his good will and sporting spirit." He comments sourly, shaking his head again before looking up at the principal.
"Thanks for the help, sir," He wish -- or rather his pride does -- that he could say 'but I didn't needed it', but he at least have enough humility to admit that he could have been in trouble, here. "Name's Ryo Sakazaki, welcome to the Kyokugen Dojo Household."
A pause, he gives another circular glance before adding with a grunt. "Or what's left of it."
COMBATSYS: Ryo gains composure.

Raizo's eyes widen as Birdie uses the attack as he does - riding Ryo's own assault and using it to smash Raizo to pieces.
...but he doesn't really fall apart. Bruised, battered, certainly...but by the time he crushes Birdie to sleep, Raizo is not himself on the verge of unconsciousness. He looks down for a second, then grunts, shaking his head, and looks over at Ryo. "Young men like him have a problem with losing gracefully, yes," he observes. He glances over in the direction of the ex-fire truck, adding, "You seem to have had this well in hand, though. Good work, Mr. Sakazaki."
He pauses, and then adds, "I am Raizo Imawano, the principal at Justice High School. I've been working with young Hotaru on some issues going on out there that you may be aware of. I've also had a brief run-in with your father. It's nice to meet you. Hotaru speaks highly of you."
Ryo knew that he have seen that guy's face somewhere -- or at least heard the physical description. "Tell me about it. Rematches are perfectly fine, but this is going way too far." Sakazaki adds on the subject of the Meat Team treachery, giving a last look at the downed Katana, the ex-truck and Birdie to refocus on the big man of a ninja.
So that's him, the principal of Justice High School... Very intruiging. "Issues...Yeah, I think I know what you may be talking about," He begins, then grunting and shaking his head. "By 'run in', you probably mean 'came and attacked you out of the blue', do you?" Like that'd be anything new. "Likewise, Principal. Can I do anything for you?" He don't answer directly to the last part, but it's obivious that he's very pleased that his student is not badmouthing behind his back. Not that he suspected her to do anything like that, but.
Raizo laughs, smirking, which does not actually look terribly endearing on a face like his. "Yes, that's about what happened. I'm still not totally sure what the cause was, but..." He shrugs. "I haven't seen the man since, so I suppose it can't have been too important."
The old bear then looks around, and says, "We should talk at some point about some of the problems currently facing this city, Mr. Sakazaki. But for now..." He shrugs, gesturing around at the thoroughly exploded dojo. "I suppose you have more pressing concerns."
Problems facing this city? It's not just /this/ city as far Ryo is concerned. Problem...why does he have a feeling this will somehow end up as him and a few others going down into the streets and single handely clean them out of filth again down the line? "Gladly." He replies, bobbing his head faintly and snorting again. Damn blood. You can stop being annoying in my nose, now! "Come by any time and we'll talk."
He follows the gesture, allowing himself to nod a second time. "Yeah. Clean up, repair a bit, take out the trash..." he says, hefting a faint, harmless punt at the downed Birdie, more of another way to say 'gotta do something with them, first'.
