Description: Kiyoko's all set to make her debut in the fighting world. But until that day comes round, she's still just an ordinary schoolgirl. It is on the campus of Justice High, then, that she is confronted by one Riko Koganei. Who has a question for Kiyoko: for her dream, how far is she prepared to go?
School has been out for hours, but for the 'super-elite' of Justice High that doesn't mean all the students have run off. And this isn't simply because the school has required boarding, but because if you wish to have a chance at getting good grades in such a school you're going to have to put in extra hours studying and going over what you've learned in class. It's almost compulsory. So hours after classes have finally been released students are finally pouring out of the main building, some going to the dormitories and others heading for the sports fields or main gates.
Among a small group of girls is Kiyoko, wearing her Justice uniform as might be expected since she's at school. The group is talking about a particularly brutal test that's coming up about History tomorrow, and there are of course complaints that they'll have to do even more studying later tonight in one of their dorms. For now, however, they're all going to go their separate ways, since clubs are another important aspect of school life, many of Kiyoko's friends breaking off and heading for sports activities while others actually walk back towards the school building for things that'll be held inside. The young woman herself, however, looks a little lost, walking first towards the exit to the forest, turning back and heading for the dormitories, and then turning once again and going for the exit again, unable to make up her mind.
Until someone makes it for her.
There's a flicker of motion, probably visible from the corner of Kiyoko's eye. Something shifting atop the nearest classroom block, near the roof. And then a small object arcs through the air, clattering to the paving stones near Kiyoko's feet. An aerosol can, battered and dented by the landing. And as it bounces to a halt, it gives a loud -hiss- of escaping pressure...before rupturing in a dense cloud of acrid white smoke.
Followed by the sound of feet lightly touching down on the courtyard ground.
Seeing something in the corner of her eye, Kiyoko looks over that way a little, but when she fails to notice anything specific she figures it's just a bird. So it's a surprise when all of a sudden a can comes to a stop next to her, and she looks down towards it with a confused look, "Where did that come f- aah!" A little yell of surprise comes from her when the white smoke begins covering the area. She covers her mouth with one hand, and then begins feeling around with her feet for the can, attempting to kick it away from her with a good bit of force if she can manage to find it. The footsteps could be any one of the many students around- it's the can that has her attention, and all that smoke.

Dense smoke, choking smoke. A cloud billowing out from the broken cylinder, completely engulfing the courtyard. In a few minutes, there's going to be shouts of alarm from across campus...students and staff are going to come running. But for the time being, it's just Kiyoko.
And someone moving up behind her, extending a hand...
...to tap her lightly on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," a voice says, politely.
Just before an honest-to-god /metal pipe/ comes speeding out of the fog, swung like a baseball bat towards Kiyoko's skull.

The smoke is definitely a far larger cloud than Kiyoko had anticipated. Kicking the can away didn't help at all. She coughs a couple times as the smoke burns in her lungs- hopefully that's nothing too much to worry about, though she can't help but think it might be. The tap on the shoulder gets her to begin turning around as she tries to see who's addressing her, only to be interrupted by the unmistakable sound of something traveling very quickly through the air- something traveling for her head. "Ee!"
The response is a natural one, aided by a good amount of practice. Kiyoko simply ducks down, quickly, and the object whiffs right over the top of her head. And while a success it's still rather disturbing to the teenager. "What the heck are you doing!" She stumbles away from whoever is in the smoke, trying to see through it enough to see who or what swung that at her.

"Oh, sorry," chirps Kiyoko's assailent.
The pipe whistles in the air, twirled neatly through a dramatic loop, wielded with a theatrical flourish. A length of metal pipe held by slender fingers and a slim arm, attached to an equally petite female figure - albeit little beyond a silhouette in the smoke.
While the smoke's causing Kiyoko a small bit of breathing difficulty, her attacker seems largely untroubled by the eye-watering fog. She grins, a flash of white teeth visible even through the billowing mists.
"I forgot," the other girl continues, cheerfully, "to tell you..."
The pipe swings round, one round end pointing directly at Kiyoko.
"...defend yourself!"

If someone is going to be using a weapon with that kind of style, one must assume they've got skill to back it up. If Kiyoko tried to spin it like that it'd likely end in the pipe clattering to the ground, much like the can of smoke did. The fact that the girl- that's a girl right?- has no trouble at all in the misty smoke is also disconcerting. As are her words. "Defend myself? What are you talking about?" Kiyoko frowns slightly. "You're not kidding, are you?" Not the way she swung the pipe at her earlier, that was entirely serious.

"Maybe I am," the other girl singsongs, her voice a high musical soprano, "maybe I'm not."
She grins again. The all-enveloping smoke hides her features from view, but there's something in her body language that just speaks of mocking amusement.
"Let's find out..."
She ghosts forward, then, swinging her arm at full extension, gripping the pipe at the base - sweeping the length of metal in a long fluid crescent towards Kiyoko's legs, aiming to take her feet out from under her.
"...ne?"
COMBATSYS: Kiyoko blocks Riko's Quick Throw.

Riko 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Kiyoko
Something about the way she speaks is a bit aggravating to the purple haired young woman, probably the mocking tone, really. The girl in there comes forward, and Kiyoko moves into a defensive stance, staying still while she's rushed at. When the pipe is swung towards her she takes a half step forward and intercepts the arm with her own, slowing it down so that when the pipe hits her in the leg it does little more than cause a stagger. That's not to say it doesn't hurt, though. "Gnh..."
By now the intent is at least clear enough for Kiyoko to know that her assailant isn't going to just stop and leave her be. In retaliation she swings her other arm up in a circular motion and attempts to strike with two fingers at the joint at her opponents shoulder, the hope to numb it enough with a pressure point strike to stop the arm from working for a bit, or failing that, at least make her drop the pipe. "I'm getting the feeling you're not joking at all. Hah!"

But Kiyoko's fingers don't find flesh. Instead, they collide with a metallic ring, her fingertips hitting the curved surface of the hollow pipe. The impact bats the length of tubular steel away, and the figure behind it rolls with the blow, dancing back a step.
"Ooh," the pipe's wielder murmurs, "good guess!"
She sounds happy. Too happy.
By now, the cloud of smoke is beginning to clear...enough that Kiyoko can get a better look at her attacker. There's colours, at least, a long yellow coat, short black hair...
...but probably the strangest thing is her size and height. Shorter and slimmer than Kiyoko herself. And then there's the voice, which sounds very young.
And possibly just a little familiar.
The pipe whips out at Kiyoko again, this time a straight-line thrust, one heavy ringed end blasting towards her abdomen.

Riko 0/-------/------=|====---\-------\0 Kiyoko
The small, short figure gives a sense of being vaguely familiar to Kiyoko, much like forgetting something you were about to say. It seems to be right there in her mind, but she just can't place it. It's really rather annoying. The stab that comes forward causes another quick reaction, and Kiyoko hops backwards, but makes a big mistake. She's completely unused to fighting someone who's armed, and forgets to account for the length of the pipe itself. Half a foot away from the hand that thrusts forward, the rest of the pipe jams directly into her stomach and causes her to automatically keel over in pain. That felt about like she expected a metal pipe to!
But she isn't completely unused to pain, and she manages to recover herself before the familiar figure can get an extra free shot in. "Definitely... not messing around..." The girl assaulting her definitely means business, so she can't help but do the same herself. She moves forward to get within range, knowing she's at a real disadvantage without a weapon of her own. Once she's within actual striking range she swings her right hand forward to try and aim a single debalancing strike to the side of the head before twisting on her heel and bringing her left leg up in a twisting kick aimed at her ribs. "Yah, HAAH!"

The dual impacts slam into the smaller girl, rocking her slim frame. Solid hits, smashing through fabric into flesh and bone. But she's still standing, still on her feet. In fact, it's almost like she deliberately /didn't/ make any move to dodge. Or even block.
None at all.
"Good," the pipe-wielding girl laughs, sounding pleased.
Which is when she flicks her wrist, changing her grip on the pipe - and slams one end towards Kiyoko's ribs, pressing the cold steel to the side of her torso.
And then there's a loud ROAR...as the gunpowder charge packed inside the hollow tube goes off.
A plume of exhaust gases erupts from the other end of the pipe.
The discharge from the end pressed against Kiyoko is...considerably more.

Uh oh. When someone smaller than Kiyoko can take a hit and remain rock solid despite it, it's a bit worrying. It also leaves her in a pretty awkward spot, one leg still up in the air and retracting as the pipe suddenly shoots towards her as it did before. This calls for extreme movement, and Kiyoko doesn't hesitate. The one leg that is on the ground bends slightly, plants, and then shoves down; launching her up off the ground and out of harms way as the pipe rushes forward. The explosion that happens only a moment later tells her just how lucky she was- that would -not- have felt good if it had hit, and that's a pretty large understatement.
She back flips as she moves through the air in order to land properly, and gives her opponent a glare. "What the heck was that? Are you trying to kill me, fighting with a pipe bomb?" Moving in at this point wouldn't be smart- the other girl will have plenty of time to get ready to meet her attack, and that could end badly for her. Instead she decides to stay back and turn to a different method of attack. Her opponent just escalated this by using explosives, so she won't feel bad about it. Her right hand lifts up into the air, "Spring..." and then she swings it down, suddenly glowing green as she releases energy, forming a crescent in the air along the path of the limb which suddenly rushes forward towards Riko, "Blossom!"

Bomb or not, it doesn't stop the ninja girl from slamming the smoking tail end of the pipe into the ground. Steel scrapes against the courtyard flagstones...
...as she /grounds/ the pipe ninety degrees perpendicular to the earth, and then swings her -entire- weight onto it, like some kind of crazy parody of a pole vault.
Crazy or not, it carries her completely out of the path of Kiyoko's energy projectile.
Riko remains atop the pipe, her legs bent at the knees, crouched and balancing on the exceedingly narrow support. A totally improbable position, her yellow raincoat fanning out behind her.
She lifts her head, giving Kiyoko an odd look.
"Fukakami-san," Riko points out, reasonably, "people fight with knives, swords, and chi blasts that go through walls. You're complaining about a bomb?"
COMBATSYS: Riko focuses on her next action.

That certainly worked for the young ninja. Even if she can jump away and be very mobile if she needs to, she can't do something quite as dramatic as that. It leaves her in a bit of awe. "Wow..." And as she stays on top of the pipe she seems much more familiar. A memory comes back to her, of a similarly sized girl standing on the arm of a chair in a way that seemed to defy physics. And then she says her name. But what's that? "...How are chi blasts any less dangerous than a bomb? I bet that'd go right through a wall too!"
Yep, it's definitely her. The same sort of humor that was found when going over the paperwork. "But... why are you doing this, Riko?" Materials contractor... yes, bombs could definitely fit under that designation, couldn't they? Now knowing who her opponent is, she's not quite so quick to rush in to attack, especially after that bomb... luckily hanging back can provide benefits as well.

"Ahhhhhhh..."
Riko lifts a hand. She runs her fingers through her hair, scratching her head. She screws her face up, making a show of pondering the question.
Then, abruptly, she withdraws her hand and snaps her fingers. Her expression brightens, as if enlightened.
"What do -you- think?"
In a whirl of motion, she springs into the air, carrying the metal pipe behind her. She twists as she arcs through the space, bringing the pipe round to strike at Kiyoko from above.

A question instead of an answer. It fits her profile so far, at least. Mysterious and confusing, just as she had been when they first met. "I don't know, because you want to see if you can beat me up? You told me to defend myself so I don't think you want to /really/ hurt me, though now I'm not so sure since you used that bomb."
Too late, she spoke too long, and gave Riko the chance she needed to catch her off guard. She tries to slip out of the way when the pipe comes for her head, but she just doesn't make it, getting conked right on the head and stumbling backwards, "Ite..!" She winces and puts pressure on the top of her head, but quickly realizes she's putting herself at a disadvantage. If she doesn't do something she'll just get picked apart. At least she's close enough that she won't have to take much time getting into range.
She takes a full step closer and then hops up lightly, kicking out with her foot to try and plant it on Riko's chest in order to thrust her backwards and away.
COMBATSYS: Riko endures Kiyoko's Light Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////// ]
Riko 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\0 Kiyoko
The kick slams solidly into Riko's ribcage, shoving her back. But the ninja girl doesn't topple over. She skids backwards, rolling on the in-line skates that clad her feet. Now that the smoke's almost gone, that much is clear. She /is/ indeed wearing skates, and the wheels ratchet against the flagstones of the Justice High yard.
"Saaa," Riko murmurs, "close..."
Then Riko stops, coming to a halt, ceasing her rearward roll - so sudden that sparks fly from the ground.
She blasts forward, an instant later. The pipe, still in her hand, springs at Kiyoko. The pipe's dented from the impact with Kiyoko's skull, trailing fumes from its use as an improvised explosive device... but still a more than adequate weapon.
And made of metal, after all.
Riko's free hand shifts into a distinct pattern, two fingers outstretched, the others curled - forming a half-sign of the ram. A surge of chi builds round her body, flowing through her pipe-wielding arm, into the weapon - and out towards Kiyoko as Riko thrusts the pipe like a makeshift tazer.
"...but this isn't about ME!"

Riko 0/-------/---====|=======\-------\1 Kiyoko
Kiyoko's style mainly focuses on defense and keeping her safe, and the martial art focuses on keeping her healthy and well. Luckily her defense instruction includes protection from more than just physical attacks. The energy begins to form over the girl and funnel into the pipe, and Kiyoko lowers herself slightly and widens her stance slightly. The pipe comes forward and she quickly reaches out with her hands and snatches tip, her hands briefly glowing green around her palms to help counteract the electricity flowing through it. It's not perfect by any means, but it goes a long way to blunt the force of it.
"Ngh... so it's about me then? I guess that makes sense, since you came to my school and jumped me." From her low stance she pulls the pipe towards her, but not to try and tear it from Riko's grasp. Rather, she uses it to move her forward, letting go quickly to roll forward onto her hands, trying to hook her ankles- probably her knees in this case, around Riko's neck before suddenly reversing her momentum to try and swing the smaller girl up and over before slamming her back first into the ground. "Harvest Moon!"

The little ninja crashes into the earth, hard enough that she splinters the flagstones. Chips of granite fly into the air, along with a pained hiss. But Riko recovers quickly, rolling out of the impact crater. Amazingly, she still has a grip on her trusty blunt instrument. She props herself up with its aid, as she rises in a partial crouch, resting on one knee.
Riko looks at Kiyoko.
Not much time, she reflects. In another few moments, this combat is likely to attract attention. Other students on the Justice campus have likely already been alerted to something going on in the courtyard. There's a few faces watching from windows of nearby buildings...
Which is all fine. But if someone like Hyo Imawano, or the principal himself, were to intervene...things might get awkward for Riko.
Well then.
"Saaaaa," she whispers, drawing out the syllable. Riko grins at Kiyoko.
"You wish to fight on SNF, Fukakami-san?"
She tosses the pipe into the air, catching it on the downward arc - but catching it differently, the metal smacking into her outstretched palm.
"Then..."
With a smile, Riko /throws/ the pipe at Kiyoko, sending it flying like a spear.
"...SURVIVE!"

Her attack was successful! But she realizes something as she's getting back to her feet, her face turning red. She's not in her Tai Chi uniform, she's in her school uniform- which has a skirt. Well, hopefully the smoke is still thick enough that anyone rushing to the scene couldn't see! "SNF?" Blink blink, "/that's/ what this is about? You didn't have to just jump me for something like that, you know, you could have just asked!"
She has other immediate problems, though, in the form of a pipe coming at her. She could try to get out of the way, but it's coming pretty fast, so... she sees that the smoke canister is still close, and moves over and swings her leg at it to give it a mighty kick! But... she isn't the most accurate of kickers, no Roberto Miura, and the can completely misses the flying pipe! That leaves the pipe coming right for her, one leg high in the air from the kick... and it nails her right in the forehead. "Aah!" Her head snaps backwards, her other foot slips, and she plummets to the ground, her head hitting the pavement and whipping the other direction with a resounding *crack*. "Nn! Nnngggg..." She's not talking as she slowly gets off the ground this time.
"You're not strong enough," Riko says, calmly.
Her tone is formally polite, her inflection flawless.
She gets to her feet, resting her wheeled skates on the courtyard ground. She slides her hands into the pockets of her raincoat...and simply stands there, watching Kiyoko from across the impromptu field of battle.
"Are you, Fukakami-san?"

A hand slowly moves to her forehead, where there will no doubt be a lovely red welt on her to explain to her friends later when they study for the test. They don't know about SNF yet... she'll tell them she fell and hit her head. That's partially true, at least. She grits her teeth and slowly gets up. "I... I am! You haven't got me yet. That was just a stupid mistake. Everyone makes those, even the best fighters." Well, maybe not.
Her tone of voice takes on something new though, a sense of being insulted. "You can tell me I'm not strong enough, but I know I am!" Will they disqualify her if this roller-skating girl proves to be too much for her? How much would that waste if it did? What would become of her... would she ever be able to get the courage to do something like this again? She can't let that happen.
"If you don't believe me... I'll have to show you!" She springs into action, rushing forward as fast as her legs can carry her before jumping up, trying to plant both her feet into the center of Riko's chest. If she succeeds she'll twist around to hook her legs about Riko's neck before flipping backwards hard to try and smash her down into the ground again, only this time she bounces back up into the air and twists to try and smash her face first into the ground before trying to slam her back first two more times, pouring everything she's got into the assault.

Grabbed, twisted, slammed...
Except when Kiyoko drives the ninja girl face-first into the earth, she never makes it. Riko's forearms hit the ground before the rest of her body, breaking the fall. For a moment, her muscles strain against Kiyoko's, a stalemate.
Then Riko smiles.
It's a cold smile, almost feral.
"So," she murmurs, "this is your resolve..."
Her spine tenses, her body coils. And Riko breaks out of Kiyoko's grip, her entire form twisting, one leg shooting out in a mule kick straight backwards.
"...GOOD!"

Shoot! How is it that even though she seems to connect, she fails? She has her, definitely, but the ninja on wheels seems to be able to evade getting hurt, if barely. And then she manages to break free completely and launch an attack in the same instant. "Darnit!" Kiyoko struggles back towards Riko, shoving herself backwards towards her again as the kick comes. Her legs get close, but then the kick smashes her, and she's unable to close them into a lock again, flopping forward onto the ground. She's just failing at this. Failing completely. She picks herself up, shaking her head. She actually seems to be on the verge of tears. "I'm not this bad am I..? No! I know I'm not!"
The question's rhethorical. Not directed at her. But Riko replies all the same.
"You're not bad," Riko answers, with brutal honesty, "but you're not good, either."
The ninja's on her feet, now. She rolls forward, silently, coming face to face with Kiyoko. There's no trace of amusement in Riko's eyes. The smile is gone from her face.
"You want to fight?"
Riko arches an eyebrow.
"This is what you must face."
She leans forward, staring at Kiyoko.
"Where is your resolve?"

At least she's not bad though, right? She has to calm herself as Riko comes forward, luckily no actual tears forming on in her eyes. "Yes I do! Of course I want to fight, who wouldn't? Fighting is one of the best, funnest things in the world. Maybe I'm not good yet, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be." But is she convincing Riko or herself?
Where's her resolve. "If you want me to prove myself I'll keep fighting you! I... I still can, if I have to! I know it'll be hard, and I know it'll be dangerous, and I know I could get hurt but I don't care. It's what I'm going to do, and even if you go and tell everyone that I'm too weak for it I'm not going to let that stop me."
Riko laughs.
"You think," she says, harshly, "this is -fun-?"
Her face shifts into a fox-like grin, her eyes slitting.
"Hm," she muses, "maybe. But..."
Riko bends down, lifting the fallen pipe from the ground. She holds it up, pointing it at Kiyoko.
"...it won't," Riko states, "always be."
The ninja girl slings the pipe over her shoulders.
"Think about that, Fukakami-san."
She turns her back.
"And if you're still determined..."
Riko lifts a hand.
"...I'll see you on TV."
With that, there's a brilliant flash of electric-blue light, a high-intensity discharge of chi. Then Riko's gone, leaving a charred patch of ground where she stood.
