Description: WAR ON MAD GEAR IS DECLARED. The Hellraisers have made their presence known. And Katana is there, coming to the aid of his gang. But when he gets there, with Birdie as well, they end up having to take on a GANG and their leader, Mangler! Watch for chills, spills AND OTHER VARIOUS FIGHTING WORDS. This is totally worth reading. SO YOU BETTER DO THAT. And who wins!? THE ANSWER IS INSIDE!
From the Saturday Night Fight, Katana was feeling rather upbeat. He had shown a great warrior his strength, and as well he had gained a TRUCK. Such things are important to the future of Mad Gear! But things, when he returned, have been DIFFERENT. Yes. The Burn thugs have taken it upon themselves to make an advance, and one of Katana own thugs, which are much less classy in the same vein and less strong, have come seeking help from Katana!
But that is why Katana grabbed his wakizashi's and immediately set foot out.
And that's why when the small, but strong gang, who was busily beating the heads of his own. They didn't stand a chance, even if the fat men were a little harder to hit away then normal. They were still getting pretty rocked by the gang that had just appeared. But that's about when the bus that Katana had commandeered from the SNF barreled through the streets of Metro City in the slums. He couldn't lose this section.. or he would lost much of income. Then Mad Gear ... MAD GEAR WOULD BE IN TROUBLE!
And that's why he's also riding ontop of the bus, his weaponry unsheathed as he stands, wind whipped against his large shouldered form, clad with the ceremonial mask and armor, and ducking or leaping over lights and other such Metro City objects high enough to clip him! He would have taken backup, to ensure his dominance, but it would be the one who had taken him to the Dojo! He would now work to HELP HIM AS WELL!
"Those who oppose the Shogun of MAD GEAR ... WILL PAY! To try and take this from us, you will regret it... the pain that you will receive for doing so shall remind you NEVER AGAIN! Now ... you shall face the true power that is Mad Gear! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIII BOKO!"
He took his wakizashi upwards, pointing it forwards just as the bus brakes, and breaks hard, the Shogun being launched from the top and landing before the swarm of Gang Members, weaponry out, and ready ... TO SHOW THEM ALL.
.. Something. They can see his blades after all, so it'll have to be something besides just what he is!
Birdie, a lot less thrilled than Katana may be on this expedition, comes along due to Elle's orders and probably not much more. Other than owing Katana his own services since he used Katana to get revenge on the Kyokugen Dojo student, only ending up to meet a teacher and old man of great strength. Ordinary, he was not! Birdie could barely make a dent in him!
Now on the bus and moving towards the location quickly, as Katana hops over obstructions that only threaten him, he just waits for their stop. He'll see it when they get there. That's for sure.
"Yeah. Yeah. Mad Gear sure is something." Something that Birdie doesn't voice. He just lets Katana think that it's a positive aspect instead of what Birdie would like to call a great group of thugs. You thought it wasn't going to be, but Mad Gear is great for what it is.
It's just Katana.
Once the bus comes to a stop, Birdie emerges through the front door, barely fitting out of the bus. He looks around before looking towards Katana. "Alright. So we're here now. What's the plan?"
Indeed, there's little doubting the potency of these burnouts. The upper tiers of the members are far beyond what many who remain in Katana's employ are capable of, and even the worst is a manic, fearless and brutal individual. They are savage with access to people with unbelievable talent, which makes the independent conflicts likely doomed to failure without Katana's help. After all, getting another member of Mad Gear isn't easy. Someone has to be a talented brawler, but not able to get a break. Someone who believes in Katana's dream. Someone loyal and useful. ...Crash just needs to find a homeless guy and get him high. He has the edge in any attrition.
The area in question is an open street, where about five members are presently loitering around. They had just driven off the Mad Gear who squatted here, and are celebrating victory by drinking excessive amounts of alcohol while a couple brawl openly with pipes, cheering and laughing. All wear black leather jackets, with flame embroidered up the cuffs to the elbows, with vibrantly dyed hair. One of them, dressed in chains and rather largely built, is settled atop a car. They all are... rather high, eyes mildly out of focus, seeming loud and aggressive even just watching.
And then comes the loud speech, which most only turn to observe in the middle. They all start to stand one after another, and don't even bother to move out of the way despite the bus screeching to a stop rather shy of hitting them; If Katana were inclined to mow them over, they were either too stupid or too arrogant to evade it. Useful to know for later!
"Oye, it's that wannabe!" states the largest figure atop the car, the only one who's not rised to the occasion. He hurls his beer bottle towards him, laughing derisively. However, others are not so open. The man, amusing appearance or not, is respectable for his accomplishments, and Birdie significantly intimidating. "Hey, it's Katana..." "Man, that's the leader of Mad Gear!" "Dude used to rule this city–"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" roars the car-bound man, and everyone does. "Crash is gonna rule this city, not him! Katana didn't do shit for us, less then that grunt in City Hall!" One large finger points at the pair. "Get the hell outta here, or we'll torch you and your gaudy little bus for fun!" The Hellraisers, sensing conflict, forget about the importance of Katana's position and start hooting, raising pipes and fists to the sky, some causing sparks of chi in blue and yellow. It looks like the shogun might get his first brush with this new faction after all...
Crash is a dirty bum strengthening mad man! Katana is, meanwhile, a leader for those who wants something more in their life than pre-planned rules and the society already in place. Which is why Katana fights with all his might! To attract Mad Gear members as WELL as continue his dream, as well as their own .. he wouldn't back down until something rather significant stopped him! Which well, might be a group of thugs. ALTHOUGH KATANA WILL NEVER LET SUCH THOUGHTS GET INTO HIS HEAD!
As the Gang members finish mopping up his own, Katana looks on to those around who challenge him, and what Katana sees is black jacket wearing thugs, whom seem rather under the influence .. and lead by a single large man who throws a beer bottle at Katana, which is slashed out of the air by the Shogun. "I ... AM FAR FROM A WANNABLE!" Katana yells back as they finally get to cheering. But not for him.
Katana notices more than he should, and now is such a time, the leader of Mad Gear taking up his weaponry and moving forwards a step. "Through me flows the blood of Japan! And with it, the might and strength of Japan! And with it .. THE SPIRITS WILL HELP ME AS WELL!" Katana bellows, posing once with the blades up, and then down, and then forwards.
"Whoever this Crash is .. he will taste my blades when I am through with you all!" Katana is sometimes a push over .. but one thing is for sure! Katana is NOT able to just be pushed to the side .. he will keep charging in the way no matter what. "Torch me or my bus if you dare .. for I am not alone, and I ... WILL DEFEAT ALL OF YOU!"
And he looks serious, pointing a wakizashi at the closest gang member. "Let me show you what this 'wannabe', Shogun of the Mad Gear Gang, CAN DO! HYAAAAAAAAAH!"
Birdie stands a little too close to Katana. He can imagine that when this is over he's either going to have some heads busted in, or else his own head would hurting. Either way, he can already tell Crash really dislikes Katana, and if not dislikes him, is vying for the same gang territory that Katana says he wields. It leaves really nothing to the imagination,
Especially when everyone begins to call out about Katana. Birdie just raises a hand and scratches his head as they all go berserk against Katana. "Bloke you ain't very popular 'round here are ya?" Which is sort of ironic because Katana was very popular with the police for a while, and Haggar as well.
Watching as the gang members begin to raise pipes and fists, some obviously coated in chi, Birdie just grins. But then Katana mentions him, and that he's not alone. Hell, he might as well go with it. Resting his massive arms against the pavement, he towers over the regular sized man.
"Whatever. Let's just bust some heads." Birdie says as he looks from Katana and back to the gang.
"I'll shatter the remains of your gang in this area and use it to gain favor with Crash! I'll be a legend for my men taking out the great Katana!! Everybody will know the name of Mangle!!" The large man on the car continues, flexing in a way that would be impressive were Birdie not already dwarfing him just standing still. "Isn't your name Marion?" one of the Hellraisers comments, earning himself a swift kick in the head. This is accomplished still without Mangle standing up, apparently adept at peddling his influence through being lazy. "Shut the hell up, I said! Break those two, boys!" Mangle snaps his fingers, and the fight... is ON.
Two of the Hellraisers, one wielding a rather impressive pipe, advance forward with shouts and hoots. One with blue hair is heading towards Birdie, lowering his head and trying to simply run into his chest, a rather girlish shriek leaving his lips. The other teeters off-balance before letting loose a rather focused overhead strike, so vigorous that he's completely off-balance thereafter. The other two are hanging back, cracking knuckles and sparking chi... It seems they get the nobodies, then the somebodies, and maybe MARION HIMSELF?!

As the Hellraiser slams his pipe straight towards Katana, Katana had only so much time to react.. and with a weapon as such, Katana would take some time, later, to chance. But so early.. he would wait until later. "You will do no such thing ... Marion.." Katana says, his armor clattering against the pole as it slams into his wrists. "Instead.. I will leave you and your men beaten and broken when I and Tauros are done with you!" He finishes, then grunts, and then, "HYEAGH!" Katana pushes the weapon away with all his strength, and with the Hellraiser completely off balance, the Shogun takes advantage of the situation.
The wakizashi are not brought in a light strike. To strike so light .. he would not show his dedication, nor would he show his drive! "You .. will fall.. and by my ancestors, I will show you the true spirit of the leader.. and not through talk and other men!" Of course .. they may be pretty hard to deal with as well.
But with that time, Katana crashes towards the Hellraiser with the pipe, both wakizashi coming forwards as his sandals hitting against the floor as his armor clatters while he moves. And he strikes out, thrusting both forwards and then slashing outwards, intending to put two deep gashes into the high man .. but he may see it coming! "FIERCE STRIKE OF THE SHOGUN! KYAAAAAAAAH!"

Birdie just watches as the man on the car flexes. Heh. He'll have to make his way there and make that guy suffer. If he can of course. He's not too sure. He's never been a real good check of strength. He does know that he should be paying attention to the Hellraiser that's running at him. And he does at the last moment, putting up his arms for the hellraiser to run right into him.
"Hah. And you call that hair. Bloke, you've got a lot of learnin' to do." The hellraiser manages to push Birdie a good yard or so before he stops, planting himself to the ground as he reaches for the hellraiser him. The massive hands come down to grab a hold of the gang member that ran so carelessly into his grasp.
"Besides. That's my style." Birdie says as he tries to grab him by his clothes before literally tossing him up, and over, and towards the cement in a single fluid motion. Birdie's had some practice here.

"Hey! My name's Mangle!! The name I was born with means shit! Or should I find out who you are REALLY called, Katana?!" That's probably a nice touche, but the large man still makes no motion to enter the fight, although he's leaning forward and glowering. This leaves the conflict itself taking place; The pipe deflects cleanly, and the poor Hellraiser is open. But the sheer physical ability and raw perception compensates for a lack of skill. He moves far faster then he has a right to, twisting while snapping up his weapon. It is interposed between the point where the blades bisect, clanging off in another shower of sparks and only giving him mild gashes. The man stumbles backwards, cackling in glee before suddenly shooting out one foot, trying to kick Katana right in the face for his trouble.
As for Birdie, the poor Hellraiser quite literally bounces off, landing upon the ground with a grunt disoriented. Dangling helplessly, he manages to do one thing; Swinging his foot, trying to peg Birdie /right/ between the legs. This doensn't stop him from spiraling away and thudding on the concrete in the slightest; But it might leave Birdie a good bit more sore in exchange! The other two laugh, apparently enjoying their friends being assbeat enough to not partake in it yet, even if they'd likely triumph easily with the raw numbers... These people are a far cry from simple pushovers. A lack of training and cohesive leadership is the only thing keeping them from being citywide threats... But if that was rectified...

As the larger man yelling his name distracts him, Katana looks onto the Hellraiser, and as he comes in, kicking towards his face, Katana attempts to close his hands upon the foot.
THUD.
Unfortunately, things don't go so well, and Katana is not only beaten, but beaten soundly! The leg slams against his face, and staggering back, Katana is unable to prevent the mask from impacting onto his flesh! Falling backwards, Katana staggers before collapsing onto his back and lies motionless ..
HELLRAISER WINS.
"I have no other name than Katana.. I .. AM JAPANESE... such a name is right for a Shogun Samurai .. it is only right!" The wakizashi are held, but clatter as he fell. He'll pull himself up in time. Maybe not before he gets kicked around though.

As the hellraiser is sent flying backwards, Birdie is set to deal with something completely not good for him. The kick strikes between his legs and delivers a most heavy blow as he moves in towards the hellraiser.
Only it doesn't just glance off of him. He moved directly into the wrong spot. As he went, the shot strikes him clean, and causes him to stop moving there and then. The pain is immense, and for now, he's not really moving.
This means the Hellraiser wins this round! FOR NOW. Birdie will get his revenge! Sometime, really. I don't know.
Still, Birdie's unable to go.
"Ahaha! Oh man, you guys are a bigger joke then I thought..." Mangle comments, doubling over with a seething array of less then masculine giggles, eyes tearing. "I'm one of the best fighters in Crash's employ, and you can't even handle these peons?! Don't make me laugh!" Which fails, since he's already cackling again. Both Hellraisers now appear much more arrogant, one strutting as the other picks himself off the ground and grins savagely towards the huge Birdie. The other two are seeming to enjoy the fight even more, as both of the opponents are significantly stalled in the early stages. Of course, they give little time to breathe. The pipe-wielding one tries to grab hold of Katana's ankle and twist; For how lithe he is, he'd have no difficulty swinging the larger man around, trying to slam him into the side of his own bus. The other has rushed towards Birdie anew, clenching his fist before whirling around to try to punch the behemoth as hard as he can in the chest. "Eat it!" Can the pair overcome these terrifying odds?!

A bigger joke than he thought? Can't even handle the peons? You get the Shogun rather angry, Mangle.
And that's when he really, really, puts effort into it. Pulling himself up, Katana had fallen nearby the ally.. and laying on the ground nearby to him was enough pieces from the busted up landscape.. and there happened to have been a stop sign.
Well.. the Hellraiser is going to stop alright. "I .. NEVER....." The stopsign is swung as he kneels, both hands taking it to swing it back and then slam it across the Hellraiser's face and body, as the hand came to grab hold of the ankle and twist.
"GIVE UP! The Shogun .. will not fall to such!" He pulls himself up to his feet, and breathes heavily. But he is far from out of it yet. It would certainly give the Hellraiser something to think about though. "When you deal with Mad Gear .. you deal with me .. and I refuse to let such low class gang members.. get the best of me! HYAAAAAH!" He yells, psyching himself up.

This time, Birdie wasn't going to leave himself open for the strikes. Instead, he was just going straight into it. As the Hellraiser threw himself towards Birdie, clenching his fists and punching at his chest as hard as he can, Birdie grinned. "Eat what? Sure. I'll eat it."
And he did, his chest being struck multiples times by the powerful blows, but they don't o much but push him back a good deal.
Without a moment to lose, Birdie moves through the pain, firing forward a single punch in chance to beat it right into the face of the hellraiser, and give him a nice present. A present of a large fist, adorned by the shadow of it looming over him, into his thick skull.
%"Hahahahaha!" Birdie called as he threw it forward, trying to clean the Hellraiser's clock.

"Low class?!" Mangle snorts, which really sounds more like he has something caught in his throat then anything else. Rectified by a medicinal quaff of half a vodka bottle immediately thereafter. "You're the washup who got curbstomped by some bearded wrestler..." Of course, the stop sign works as intended; Severely denting itself on the side of the Hellraiser's face, who goes down harder then presidential approval polls. Pushing himself up in a long gesture, he turns to face Katana, spitting bloodily. It's hard to tell if it's the impact or the drugs that makes him look out of it. ...And as for Birdie shrugging off the lovetap, his massive fist hits cleanly. One tooth flies off into the sunset, the Hellraiser not much further as he crashes into the side of a car, sliding limply down. "Stop messing around!!" demands Mangle.
AND THEY DO!
"Let's do it!!" With that, one of the Hellraisers rushes forward, snarling loudly before leaping high and twisting around with a loud grunt, snapping out in an attempt to kick Birdie /right in the eye/ with the heel of a boot!! The other simply grips his baton in both hands, unleashing a truly vicious blow trying to catch Katana in the chin and send him skywards!! This is about as effective as they are going to get, sadly...

As Mangle snorts, Katana listens. Of course he did. OF COURSE HE DID. But he has since become something far greater. Or perhaps, something far greater ( IN HIS MIND ). But then, mental power from being smacked upside the head one too many times. And well. In such situations.. far stronger have found themselves having to fight back against the strong willed Shogun.
The goons get serious, and as he faces Katana, spitting blood, Katana looks back. But the man isn't good looking anymore, oh, heck no. And then Mangle demands they stop messing around.
As the Hellraiser grips his batons with both hands, a truly vision blow being launched towards him .. Katana doesn't seem to stay still long enough, dashing towards the man, and then under the strike.. and then grabbing for the man's legs.
"While my warriors are weak, Mangle.. they do not rely on such drugs to give them their strength.. and I, WITH MY OWN MIGHT, WILL SHOW YOU JUST WHAT IT CAN DO!" Which is, currently, grab the Hellraiser's legs, whip them against a brick wall, and then send them flying towards another.

Did you see that part in Superman where super man stopped the bullet with his EYE. Well, this is no different! Okay. It's somewhat different, but Birdie stops the hell of the boot with his eyebrow. And hard head. As it comes, Birdie hurls himself forward, putting his head right in the way for the round house kick to hit right on.
But it doesn't stop there. Grasping a hold of the man's leg, Birdie squeezes with a toothy grin. "Don't think your gunna run away that easy bloke." And then Birdie raises a single, strong foot and thrusts it out towards the man's groin. It's a slow but train like blow to the Hellraiser.
"Eyaaaaaah!" Birdie grunts as he tries to hold the man there, fully intending on making it hurt loads.

Oh, Mangle takes offense, good sir. "At least I don't rely on a cheap gimmick!!" Even if the initial luck the pair had seems to be swiftly ebbing. No matter to this particular leader, as they are indeed the chaff! Maybe the other two, still sparking chi, will have better luck instead. As for Birdie's present sparring partner, quite a masochist by all accounts, he leans inwards to the brutal kick, which permanently removes his ability to have children. But he could care less, as he tries to grasp Birdie by the hair and then /wrench/ down, to slam him into the pavement. With the intent to start kicking the shit out of him during that opportunity, to the best he has! While the other, as Katana snakes in, tries to snap out a kick to his throat... he instead goes offbalance in the awkward maneuver (which he had never tried before), slams into a wall, and then becomes intimate with a second. Things are looking poorly for our... ...which are the heroes, again?
"A gimmick!?" Katana responds angrily as well, offense indeed. "I ... do not rely on cheap gimmicks! My soul, my very essence is that of a Japanese man! How could you believe I am anything but!" And as the gang member snakes in to snap out a kick to his throat, Katana unfortunately.. or fortunately, is a bit too fast, and then is quickly meeting two walls.
Katana himself doesn't let the gang member get a break! "I don't believe we're done yet .. you .. will meet your fate at my hands!" Katana's 'death' kanji on his shirt, albeit flawed, is prominent still. It has not been beaten to all hell and back.
"NOW .. face your fate!" His wakizashi leap towards the fallen Hellraiser, a quick strike, but with enough force behind it to make it deadly, blade flashing and slashing forth on a single quick strike!

The thug really does get a grasp on him. Wrenching Birdie into the ground, once, twice, three times. Birdie's beginning to look terrible. The nice handle in his hair is a great place to grab, and as he's thrown into the ground multiple times, Birdie bleeds as he's wrecked on the ground, over and over again.
But he's not done yet. He's moved through it. By grabbing his hair you've angered it. Birdie can't even control himself. He has to do this. As Birdie wrenches himself free of the thugs grasp, a whole new feeling rips through him. Raising a single fist, Birdie sends the punch towards the thugs face in an amazing display of brutality.
It stops, and then Birdie literally tries to grab the mans arm and quickly hurl him back towards Mangle's car.

Flying through the air, the manhandled Hellraiser crashes into Mangle's auto with a crunch, and slides down to double over on the cracked street. Twitching, he manages to slowly crawl upwards, turning in a lethargic manner towards Birdie. He's almost out of it, the adrenaline leaving his system before he stumbles into a run... gathering speed quickly, and then unleashing a single hammerblow, both fingers interlaced, trying to catch Birdie in the side of the face. He lets out a loud snarl, but regardless of success hits the ground thereafter, spent. As for the other, he catches the flashing steel with his pipe again, seeming quite a good dueler – before slipping close, and unleashing a brutal strike towards Katana's throat. That, if he manages to stagger, would be followed by a homerun swing towards his face as well. "Yeah! Kick their asses!" Mangle calls, whooping contentedly even if his men are falling...

As the mangled Hellraiser falls into Mangle's auto, Katana looks towards him .. and as Birdie's assaulted, Katana stands true... Katana knows Tauros would do well! And that's about when his own catches the flashing steel with his pipe, and then unleashes a brutal strike towards Katana's throat.
But no, it does not get there. Infact. It doesn't get close.
Both hands come up, and Katana brings his armor up to slam into the pipe as it swings, and as it swings again, Katana takes the second blow. The force slides him against the ground, but when all is said and done, Katana STILL STANDS.
"Hah... what power it gives you.. But it is nothing .. WITHOUT SKILL!" Sliding forwards, making up for the distance he lost, Katana rushes forwards, body somehow thrusting forth across the ground, bringing the wakizashi up towards the gang member far faster than before. "JIGOOOKUUUUU!"
And then he does it AGAIN, with the other hand. "SCRAPE!"

As the Hellraiser comes bowling at him, Birdie's not playing that game. As he rushes back towards Birdie, Birdie just raises his arms and braces for the next strike. He catches it just in time as the hammer blow catches his massive arms, beating upon their already weakened state.
Birdie however, just lets out a breath. "Hah... hahah. Nice try man. Nice try." Looking towards Mangle and his hellraisers, he gives a twisted grin. "Next." He calls, waving for more as he leans back. He obviously wants some others to try. He ain't leaving until he's getting zerged hard core. Instead, he just waits for the next guy to come for him.

The hapless Hellraiser has little chance to deal with Katana's assault, stomped rather neatly and crashing to the ground with a clatter as his pipe is lost adjacent. But he regathers himself, clinging mostly to stubborn will then anything else. "Hah... better havin' fake power then no power..." is the first thing he bothers to say, spitting to the side. "Givin' me the tools to do what I want!!" Which at the moment appears to be swiftly snapping out his weapon, trying to crack it hard upon Katana's chest; Not fancy, but it's disturbingly quick and forceful by most accounts, throwing all his weight wildly into it. As for Birdie... Well, another Hellraiser has stepped forward, spreading his stance. "Hahahaha!!" is mused, apparently more talkative. "FEEL THE BURN OF MY RIGHTEOUS FIRE!" He then seethes in curls of yellow fire, gathering a ball of it in his hand. Although the aesthetics are nifty, what he hurls at Birdie thereafter is more of a ‘paff' then anything, ergo one that would burn rather fiercely regardless... The last Hellraiser is getting ready, sending the fall of his companion. Only Mangle remains lackluster and lazy. "Waste of time... Even if you beat them, both of you won't get me!!"

As the Hellraiser crashes to the ground, spits at him with his horrible language, lacking completely of honor.. Katana is not ashamed. He is angry. And this Hellraiser has earned his SCORN.
"You ... to say such a thing." Katana responds, before raising his wakizashi.. "I will not let you leave here on your own power!" As the weapon is cracked towards his chest, Katana leaps back from the assault with the same speed, his body contorting. "HIYAH!" He yells, the wakizashi slicing past the Hellraiser as he goes, attempting to finish him off as he slips by the quick strike.
There .. would be none who would remove the fuel that burns his fire!

Birde can already see this 'Righteous Fire' coming right at him. He's not appeased at this prospect. So as you expect, he might do something CRAZY. And he does. The 'paff' comes right towards him a Birdie LIFTS up and over the fire ball. SOMETHING is wrong here. Opening flapping his arms to represent a bird, Birdie comes down, right over the projectile, infront of the Hellraiser.
YEAH. Like the game. Birdie is getting REVENGE. Thus, the BULL REVENGER.
Aiming to grab hold of the Hellraiser, the next thing he'll do is literally tear into him, multiple head buts given in quick succession, one after another without any remove, the very follicles used are stronger than anything Birdie has.
On the last blow, Birdie goes ALL THE WAY to the mans chest, and upon coming up, Birdie tries to hurl him up, and over, like a rhino. Gutting the man there and then. A grin the entire time. "EYaaaaaaaaah!"

And at the same time the Hellraiser rushes forward, snapping out his pipe. SHINK! For a second he stands there, before wobbling forward in a splatter of blood. Yet he still stands, turning slowly back towards Katana, appearing to be no unworthy foe with the weapon. "Hah... nice try!!" He then rushes once more, hoping to grasp hold of Katana before twisting to throw him face-first into the ground. A simple assault by all means, but potentially effective! Which merely leaves the newcomer... Who is almost all but removed from the fight before it begins. He manages to scarcely pull up a defense as he's grappled, and although he endures the onslaught, it's only his writhing and interposed forearms that spare him the mauling of his life. He's still in poor shape when hucked aside like something spent, panting before pushing back to his feet. "That... that all you got?!" He rushes towards Birdie anew, twisting back and unleashing a jackhammer blow with his hand, intending to plow it right into Birdie's face!! ...Somewhat hard!!

As the Hellraiser rushes towards Katana and then twists him face first into the ground, KAtana is slammed into it hard enough, and the pain is extrodinary. But Katana toughs it out. He slams hard, armor and all, his foot failing to raise into the man, but not getting that far.
"You are but a nuisance.. And I will get rid of you soon enough!" But first, Katana picks himself up. Slowly.
He's getting worn down, but the Hellraiser will before him. YOU JUST WATCH.

The jack hammer blow twists right for his head, and Birdie, thinking really fast, which is obviously too fast for him, tries to stop the blow by ensnaring the blow giver in the chain as soon as he lurches out the hand.
But that doesn't happen. Instead, Birdie's caught in the blow, sending him back as it knocks against his head. More blood flies, but Birdie's a tough customer. He's already. He'll be fine. His grin gone again, Birdie gets back on the defensive.
That shot actually hurt.
How the tide has turned again in this savage battle. Katana's mortal foe has evaded a finishing thrust, and appears to be trying to capitalize on it by shifting forward and unleashing a brutal kick towards the side of his knee, guard still held up even if it's mostly drugs and stupidity that's keeping even mild cohesion within his body. Mangle continues to laugh on his car perch, finishing the last of his alcohol and hurling it towards Katana anew. Even if it hits, it wouldn't hurt, but the insult is what counts. Twisting around, Birdie's foe flares with energy, and then erupts! His hand, sheathed with energy, attempts to impact him right in the stomach with a rather heavy amount of force for such a low-tier fighter, to sear him as well. "HA!!" is snarled out. They must succeed!

As the Hellraiser unleashes a brutal kick towards Katana, Katana takes his hands up, raising them in the way of the foot strike. The leg is prevented from lashing out to him, and this time, the beer slams into Katana head first. But it doesn't push away his drive. No. Katana looks head on towards the man behind his arms. "I will end you now. YOUR TIME IS OVER!"
And then he leaps into the air .. SANDAL FIRST.
He .. WILL FINISH THIS! "BOKO NO KOBUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His muscles, and his spirit, soars! HIYAAAAAAH! It's like some kind of bad DBZ flick or something!

The two strikes of chi find their mark! Oh, Birdie twist and turns, writhing from the energy injected into him! It's a terrible experience as you might imagine!
But he's not going to GIVE UP. No, NOT BIRDIE. It's not or never, do or die. So Birdie does the BEST THING EVER.
Running right towards the Heallraiser, Birdie throws a punch right towards the thugs face with FORCE BEYOND FORCE on it, aimed to send the man reeling from the blow. "I ain't down yet you bloody loser!"

Oh, the newcomer isn't giving up that easily. He sees the incoming force of nature that is Birdie, and he will not back down. Sensing an opportunity to finish him off, he lunges forward like a wolf towards an exposed throat. But he also lunges right into the punch, and his pathetic force doesn't stall it. He flies backwards, crashing along the ground for a good ten meters before slowly sliding to a stop, limbs sprawled askew in a horribly maimed fashion. He doesn't get up right away. As for Katana's nemesis, he's finally dispatched, hit in the face by the sandal. Quivering, he takes two steps back... but hurtles towards the other man, trying to catch him by the face, fingers seeking eyeholes. And then tries to knee him right in the stomach before hurling him towards a nearby garbage can. "This isn't over..." he wheezes, as he thuds to his knees and then face-first upon the ground. Yet the last of Mangle's men now steps forward, cracking his knuckles in anticipation...

As the Hellraiser rushes towards, grabbing the eyeholes of the mask, Katana is kneed in the stomach before hurtling into a nearby garbage can. The pain is very real .. but Katana will not give up, no.
Instead, once he is slammed back, Katana rises to his feet ... and then begins to ready himself for another fight. Hands come up, arms pointing towards the other Hellraiser, and all of him rising to the challenge.
"Come then .. I ... AM WAITING FOR A CHALLENGE!" Katana yells out, his body weak, but the soul still burns. He staggers a bit.. but Katana isn't one to just give up. And as the next steps into play, Katana ... r
FREAKING DASHES TOWARDS HIM!?
"DAIKYOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" He leaps up, wakizashi being brought downwards towards the body of the Hellraiser, as he begins his ... POWER CHARGE. If he lands on the Hellraiser, Katana forces him to the ground, and runs him against the cement before launching him up into a wall, charging until the man is launched off.
"BURRNNIIIIIIING!" He is no longer tired... HE WANTS TO KEEP GOING!
As the Hellraiser lands in a maimed fashion, Birdie's not one to leave a dead dog down. As the man moves to throw Birdie with some gnarly chi, he just accelerates his fist, pushing it right into the man's head. Oh he's not a happy camper. Still, BAMF. As the man rolls away, Birdie already knows what he's doing.
As he tumbles down, Birdie runs after, breaking forward in a run as he lowers his head down, only to charge head first into the fray. That man's going to get what's coming to him. If successful, the beak on Birdie's head will skewer the man, leaving him ready for the tenderizing.
BY FISTS. Many of them that rain down from Birdie's meaty hands. It's brutal. But that's exactly what it's supposed to be.

Oh, the hapless Hellraiser doesn't even know what's happening. One moment he was trying to leap away from a vicious bull rush, the next he has multiple broken ribs and can't see out of a swollen eye. He's a crumpled, broken heap upon the ground... but manages to lurch upright, hacking bloodily while turning to face Birdie. "Urrhg... I'm... I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!!" He then rears back, his hands beginning to flare with bright yellow fire. The globe builds and builds to monumental proportions. And then, as he collapses, it is *HURLED* towards Birdie. ... Very, very slowly. It seems to barely be holding shape, let alone retaining any velocity. Birdie would have to be very inept to be hit by it.
The other has managed to endure the vicious onslaught of Katana, and manages to snap up his hand and cause a detonation of blue energy /right/ in the Mad Gear leader's face, as he spirals and impacts a wall to slide down, hacking bloodily. Mangle seems to be at best bemused, finally shifting off the vehicle and landing in a thud. He's well into six feet and burly... to anyone else, menacing. Energy crackles over his arms as his neck shifts to either direction, popping. "Alright... enough of this...!!"

As the man endures Katana's onslaught, Katana prepares himself for the detonation, and when he is unable to move out of the way, Katana is slammed backwards against the wall as well. It hurts .. but Katana refuses to give in, as well. His opponent had crashed against a wall.. and Katana himself, crashes as well.
But when Katana rises again, he must fight the fatigue. He cannot be tired.. not now. Now, he will do his best... he will take this man with him, and then move onto Mangle. Birdie is alone for now ..
BUT CANNOT WILL NOT GIVE UP!
He looks towards the Hellraiser. "I hope .. you have readied your defeat!"

As Birdie just shovels into the poor man, there's nothing he can do. And then he talks about taking Birdie with him, well, that's not going to happen! Birdie begins to walk slowly backwards, out distancing the fireball by just walking away from it. He breathes heavily once more. Two down, one tough mother to go.
Actually sitting down as Mangle comes down in a thud, Birdie grins. "Haha. Your men break easier than twigs bloke. I've seen stronger men in Mad Gear." Birdie doesn't move much at all. He just sits down and looks up towards the six foot man.
"Tiny."

"Enough of this. I'm taking this guy down!" Mangle points towards Birdie, and the other remaining Hellraiser salutes. "C'mon, gimme a hand!!" With that, the other flares with his own chi, as the apparent leader raises a palm. Energy begins to gather, in a much more potent and stable manner then the others thus far. Yet the other launches his own ball of fire towards it, causing it to grow and crackle ominously... Before the large figure shoots forward, pointing his open palm and the payload directly towards Birdies' face. "Game over." A sudden detonation of raw energy follows, the very ground lightly searing beneath as the wall of chi attempts to consume and annihilate the other fighter!

The Hellraiser goes to help Mangle, Katana looks towards them.. and well.. they're busy with Birdie. .. they IGNORE KATANA. And so, Katana takes this time to run back to where he came from. There's a bus parked nearby....
Yes. A bus.
As Mangle and the hellraiser go to take care of something else, Katana leaps into the drivers seat. Likely, Mangle won't have trouble with this.
Likely, the Hellraiser is a bit too high right now to really pay attention, much less expect, a bus coming straight from behind. But the wheels spun. Everything goes into motion.
AND THEN SUDDENLY, BARRELING DOWN UPON THE HELLRAISER, and perhaps Mangle, the Bus is being driven by Katana. Straight towards then.
HONK HONK.
"I'M STILL NOT DONE YET!" Katana responds, with the gas pedal completely to the floor. Say hello... to truck.

Game over? Not toady! Well, not now at least.
As Birdie watches as Mangle get aid from the other Hellraiser as he's sitting, he just watches. Just watches the man come for him. He's coming, that's for sure. Slowly, slowly, and then he does. The hand of raw energy it set to bare at Birdie as he sits. It's coming for him without a though. It threatens to overwhelm him. And he's just sitting watching it happen.
The explosion fires at point blank range, but Birdie doesn't do nothing. His body tenses, all his muscles flexed at once as he lurches forward, through the energy as it tests his already weakened strength. Consumed, he is.
Annihilated, he isn't. Through the raw energy, the Bull Horn comes, follows by Birdie's features, threatening to stab the man right in the chest and pin him against his own car in a mad dash towards the other side. "EYYYYYYYAaaaaaaah!" Birdie grunts as he pushes.

Oh, Mangle isn't going to give up nearly this easily. Although he's impacted hellishly by the goliath opposite, hitting his car so hard to skid it up upon the sidewalk, he merely tries to grasp Birdie by the face, grinning in a sadistic manner while his fingers dance with energy. "Not good enough!!" is cackled madly, as he unleashes another detonation of energy, trying to hurl the larger man away in the same motion. And hopefully ending the fight!
Yet the other Hellraiser can see the bus coming towards him. And he has no recourse... but to get hit. There's a horrible >THUD<, and Katana within is likely quite happy. But then one trembling hand lifts, grasping a windshield wiper. And up pops the man, face bleeding, expression manic. He sheathes with energy as well, before a massive ball gathers... and detonates, point-blank, hopefully before Katana can shake him off or leap away. He slips off regardless, rolling to a stop all but defeated. ...Being run over by a bus always hurts, regardless of how high you are. But is the fight already finished?!

But that's when a MASSIVE BALL GATHERS... and BAM. Katana tries to escape, but cannot. He's blasted back, through the back of the bus, and lays on the street.
He can't make sense of anything .. so for now, Katana lays on the ground, forcing himself up.. and pulling himself together. "The ... SHOGUN ... IS .. NOT. DONE. YET!" Katana refuses to fall once more, his body awash in chi .. but yet alive.

Birdie's not giving up, just like Mangle. He's going down hard. If he's going down at all, you have to go down fighting. That means Mangle's going to get something to remember Birdie by through his little expenditure. As Birdie's literally knocked backwards without a though to spare, he connects with the cement, bleeding and ragged. Asphalt chips as he lands awkward and his follicles strikes the ground.
"Alright, you bloody git." Birdie seethes as he wrenches himself up from the ground. "I ain't bloody done yet... not yet with you!" Birdie forces himself up, and you know what that means? The end of the fight is near. Just like you wanted Mangle. Just like you wanted.
Charging like a man possessed, the colossal figure of Birdie skirts the distance between himself and the gang member in seconds, bleeding and raged, he's got one last chance.
Throwing himself headfirst towards Mangle again, he tries to pin him right against the car, thrashing wildly as punches rain down from each side, pummeling the smaller man with each impossibly large fist. Birdie's got only this, and he's giving it all. "Eyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" He grunts.
Sooner or later, the punches slow down, and eventually stop. Birdie breathes heavily and against the Hellraiser's and what they stand for. He's a rebel like that.

There was an attempt to heft up forearms and stop the barrage, but Mangle simply can't; Which has more raw brawns might be debatable, but it's sufficient now to savagely slam him backwards and rain blow upon blow, and when Birdie drops, so does Mangle, landing upon his knees and hacking up a rather significant amount of blood. Yet slowly, trembling, he gets back to his feet. "Hah... hah... Useless...!!" He then turns towards Katana, arms hanging at his size as he breathes deeply. "Let's finish him off...!! Here is a technique I have honed over countless time..." Slowly Mangle twists, and then begins to spin wildly while approaching Katana. "HaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Before a rather simple-looking punch is thrown. Ergo it's enormously forceful, by any standard, it certainly doesn't live up to some devastating ultimate assault... Of course, a moment later the other Hellraiser is rushing forward, leaving a trail of cerulean fire before he tries to grasp hold of Katana and then hurl him away, amidst an eruption of energy. "STAY DOWN!" he adds for good measure.

Katana watches as Mangle lands upon his knees, and Katana looks on, pulling himself up finally, as Mangle twists, spinning wildly, Katana isn't ready when the other Hellraiser rushes forwards and leaves a trail of cerulean fire before he grasps Katana and hurls him away.. but not alone.
"Useless!? ... I ... WILL NOT FALL... SO EASILY!" His body, burned. Katana's being pained by the chi, he can feel himself lose consciousness. BUT. As he goes down, the fist is grabbed as he goes down, Katana taking Mangle's fist and pulling him along with the eruption of energy and then hitting the wall with him, before tossing Mangle towards the broken bus.
Katana stands, staggers forwards with the wakizashi ... and then disappoints Mad Gear. The Shogun's sight becomes blurry, he steps one more step, and then his massive body hits the ground. He doesn't open his eyes, the mask clattering loudly against the cement.
It was close.
But Katana .. could not take all that was given.
He had finally fallen.
A valiant effort. Two men against Mangle's entire gang... When he alone might be able to take one?! Unacceptable! This is going through his head even as the annihilated Katana hurls him, slamming into the bus and leaving a significant dent before thunking upon the ground. Trembling he raises, the other Hellraiser similarly panting. "...pant... pant..." Katana's truly earned Mangle's respect, if nothing else. "Remember this. We're the future!" A swift kick is offered to Katana's ribs before he begins to limp away, grimacing. "Get our gang patched up. I'm declaring WAR ON MAD GEAR!! And I want this fool alive to see it fall... for GOOD!" What better way to get on Crash's good side then that? The first skirmish has been fought and lost... But the battle... The battle shall rage on!!
