Description: In an epic Epcot encounter aboard the Spaceship Earth, Daisuke MURDERS JIRO?! Who knows whether this is the truth or not! The only way to find out?! READ THE LOG. (Winner: Daisuke)
Spaceship Earth, the most iconic attraction at Epcot. The center peace, the main focal, and the very symbolic structure of the park. The eighteen story geodesic sphere houses a thirteen minute dark ride.
The interior, however, is filled with a lot of people coming in to not only enjoy the incoming ride, but to actually see the Saturday Night Live fight that will occur.
Hey! Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are there too, entertaining the kids -while- awaiting for the fighters to come out. So it works out for both parties! Fight and the Disney crew!
Where is Jiro? Well, the young man is actually kicking it with Chip and Dale, entertaining them while having -real- chipmunks hanging over his shoulder. "Don't worry, they'd want to see how their famous 'kin' is doing." He smirks, adding a wink.
"Wow, they're cousins?"
"Well, yeah." He pauses, observing the time before he snorts. He scoops the chipmunks up and he places each of them on the two massive chipmunks' shoulders.
"Alright. Time to deal with this match." He rubs the shoulder, then he steps onto the stationary green car. Observing the surface, he looks on it and he mutters, "Man, this thing is kinda small." He shrugs, "How the hell I'm supposed to fight on this, I don't know."
Of the ninja, there's little sign. It's just families and kids in ear-hats streaming past to load up into the tram, though the first few cars remain empty to give the impending fight some space.
Some time passes, and the event organizers begin to grumble among themselves, along with the 'cast members'. "We can't stall this ride forever." Meanwhile, Goofy finishes taking his picture with a child who'd gotten off the last ride, then he strides toward the front car of the tram. "Are you ready then, Kasagi?" ...It is definitely not Goofy's voice.
The Disney character leaps onto the hood of the first car, balancing easily in those comically large shoes, and draws a kunai from his vest pocket. He places it at his throat, to the shocked gasps of the onlookers, then in one fluid motion draws the knife down the length of the costume. It flutters down, revealinga darkly costumed individual. He takes the head off, flinging it aside. Daisuke kicks the rest of the costume away, the ninja standing there with his arms folded, his breathing mechanically audible through the respirator he now wears; no longer harsh and wheezing, it comes through steady and measured. He says little else, waiting for his opponent to come forward.
Folding his arms, Jiro shakes his head with dismay, lowering his head as Goofy approaches. He doesn't exactly pay attention, but when the voice asks him if he's ready, his head immediately pops up. "What the?" That caught his attention alright.
As 'Goofy' leaps onto the car, the man stares with a puzzled look. "Okay, so I'm fighting a guy in a Goofy costume." Okay, he got his ass kicked before by BRad Pitt and SAILOR MERCURY, so this shouldn't be too odd. Whatever. However, as the ninja draws the blade out to the length of the costume and removes the head...
A little boy bawls, "HE KILLED GOOFY! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" And few of the other children sob while others turn away. Mothers immediately cover their children's eyes while gasping.
At this, Jiro facepalms and mutters, "You know, you could had made another entrance that -didn't- involve crushing little kids' spirits." He shrugs, then he gives the staff members a thumbs up.
"Go ahead, guys."
In relief, the staffers -finally- turn on the train. As the train moves...
The announcer goes, "FIGHT!"
The brawler finally leaps up along the train rail, finally coming forth, stepping along the tracks before winding his fist back. Then, he drives himself forward with quick elbow strike to the shinobi's face.

Daisuke's voice is cold, though clear enough through the breather. "I didn't choose this location. It was the best way to scout the battlefield beforehand." He gives the captive audience a dry look. "I don't know whose bright idea it was to allow people so close, anyway." And then the fight begins, and there's no more time for chatter. He sees Jiro come forward and moves in low, aiming to duck under the elbow and past his opponent. It might have worked, too, if that costume had been fully cleared away. As it is, a piece of it snags him on the foot and he stumbles into the cart he was standing on, bringing his neck in perfect alignment with the incoming elbow. His head snaps back, a sharp intake of breath through the mask registering the pain. Goofy's Revenge.
Daisuke regains his footing, leaping back along the train to the next car as the ride begins to start its incline into darkness. The kunai he used to kill Goofy is still in his hand, and he sweeps it up as he passes by Jiro, aiming to score a slice up his side.

"You have a point." Jiro considers, "The person who picked this spot does need to be shot." He grumbles.
But, after the strike, Jiro keeps his guard up for the next move. The quick counter attack was noticed by Jiro, and he was going to act as quick by leaning away from the strike. But, considering where he was at and the proximity of the blade, he opt to had used his arm to defend himself by bringing it back and tighten his stance. But, he's sliced across the chest as the blade was too quick.
"Damnit!" He hisses. Then, he drives himself forward to grab onto the railings, pushing himself ovewr towards the next track, aiming to look for something useful.
...Meanwhile...
The train moves to the first display, the cave interior. It shows the Cro-magnon man and the Shaman! It goes on about the history of the cavemen, who developed the first speaking language.
At this, Jiro reaches out for the cave man's 'club', "Yoink!" Snapping his attention back at Daisuke, Jiro takes a nice leap and swings the club out at the ninja.

Daisuke flicks the knife at the caveman, the tip embedding itself in the wide forehead with a quiver. Oh yeah, these kids are gonna walk away with freakin' nightmares. He leaps down to the next car, twisting his torso so the club easily passes through empty air. As he does so, he draws his sword, the treated metal barely catching any of what little light there is. With his back to the audience, he sweeps his sword out in a long arc, flashing blue arcs of electricity sparking down the length of the blade. In the dark corridor, an arc of blue-white fire appears in the air, the crescent streaking toward Jiro and his makeshift weapon.

At the kunai striking the caveman, Jiro can't help but to snicker. That's really, really messed up. But funny as hell. Although the club misses, Jiro doesn't let it get to him. Though, he does toss the thing out back towards the cave man.
It is when the area becomes dark again that the light manifests out in the form of the crescent blue-white fire. Too late to act, Jiro winces as he's caught by the forceful blast, then he winds his right arm out.
Lifting the hand up, he retailates with a lace of crimson chi that flares up, releasing the flaming cutter the size of an arm. That large, bladed chi shoots straight towards ninja. This is before he leaps back to another car, gritting his teeth before he looks behind him.
...Oh hey! They're approaching the Egyptian temple!

Tsk. Daisuke sees the copycat move coming, and before the arc of chi crosses his path he's jumped straight up, holding onto a light fixture near the ceiling. It's a good thing the ride is on an incline; Jiro's slash of fire passes harmlessly over the civilians' heads.
Daisuke kicks off the wall, landing in the Egypt vignette behind one of the animatronic models. He holds his free hand in front of his face, forming a particular seal, and along the edge of the exhibit four sparking blue silhouettes of the ninja appear lined up, slightly crouched as if they were linebackers. "Come and get me!" the ninja snaps. Even as he speaks the shades leap off the platform, rushing at Jiro one by one.

Damnit!
Jiro growls out as the attack misses its mark on the shinobi. The young man grits his teeth, shaking his head before he looks towards the ninja. But, as he kicks up from the wall and landing behind the animatronic model, Jiro snorts.
As he beckons the young man, Jiro immediately leaps on top of the car and he starts sprinting over towards the path that the ninja is at. And as he closes in---
One of the line-backer ninjas strike Jiro down while he was in mid-air, causing the young man to land against the railings in a awful sounding collision. "Egh...." He grits his teeth, then he holds his stomach, then he gets up to attempt once more until he hits the ground again from the next three tackles.
"F***!" roars Jiro. He rolls along the ground before getting up, then he grumbles, reaching for an Egyptian model before they leave, and he swings it out towards the ninja's direction.

Jiro 1/------=/=======|======-\-------\0 Daisuke
Daisuke twirls his sword lazily in one hand as he watches the oh-so-satisfying pummeling. As each chi shade smacks into Jiro, it evaporates into nothingness. He turns away from Jiro and starts to head up the ride to the next exhibit, the Phoenicians, but the profanity catches his ear easily enough. He glances over his shoulder as he lands with one foot on the track just before the cars reach him, then leaps into the air once more, this time aimed for Jiro. He sweeps his sword down, catching the head of the flung model, knocking it aside to crash into the wall. It falls into the service area beneath the tracks, dropping out of sight.
The ninja continues his flight path, and as he comes down toward his opponent he reverses his grip on the sword, holding it upside down and over his head. Were he attacking a non-fighter, this could well be a killing blow. As it is, if Jiro doesn't get out of the way, the downward-stabbing blade is going to hurt like hell when Daisuke lands back at the Egyptian scene.

It is then that the train is slowly moving away from the Egyptian scene and into the darkness... The black depths that clouds the sight of the entire fight. It has been what has hurt Jiro for some time, considering that the ninja had managed to used the darkness to his advantage.
Although Jiro had been at a disadvantage for a while, he finally does get his moment to shine.
As the sword-wielding ninja makes his flight path down towards Jiro with the sword arcing down for a powerful slash, Jiro immediately leaps up into the air, twisting himself to avoid the path of the blade, yet reach over towards the head. As he presses the chin over the shoulder, Jiro drops the weight down upon descent to where he will land on the seat by the butt.
..Of course, he aims to have the ninja's jaw against the railing before he release, using the moment to have his head bounce off from the railing.

As the sword-wielding ninja makes his flight path down towards Jiro with the sword arcing down for a powerful slash, Jiro immediately leaps up into the air, twisting himself to avoid the path of the blade, yet reach over towards the head. His right arm is locking against the top of the ninja's head while the left hand locks against the right hand, thus securing the hold. Jiro's back is turned towards Daisuke. Jiro drops the weight down upon descent to where he will land on the seat by the butt.
..Of course, at the same time, this would put ninja's jaw or the throat against the railing for the landing before he release, using the moment to have his head bounce off from the railing.
Yes, getting in close was a very bad idea. Daisuke's jaw smacks against the railing, and his head jerks back sharply. The ninja's mask hides most of his expression, but his eyes are squinted tight and tearing up with the pain. He only barely manages to catch a hold of the front of the car, letting it pull him along through the next part of the ride while he regains his senses.
"Nice shot, but can you keep it up?" The ninja's voice is slightly distorted now; the respirator probably got damaged with that last strike. He rolls backward, planting his feet on the floor of the empty cart and straightening. It's dark, yes, but he can change that...his blade begins to glow a bright, pale blue, electricity dancing over the edge. He swings it over his head once, casting light into the normally dark hallway. As he lights up Jiro, on the next go-round he stops the sword, the tip pointing straight at his opponent. The chi coursing through the blade builds to a blinding intensity, and with a cry from the ninja it streaks outward, an enormous ovoid storm of chi coursing through the air directly for Jiro.
COMBATSYS: Jiro blocks Daisuke's Ion Storm Dance.

Grunt.
The young man takes a deep breath after the landing, then he hears the distorted voice from the ninja. But as he rolls backwards, Jiro watches for the next move, leaping after him. But as the view of the area becomes illuminated, Jiro's eyes widen and he narrows his eyes, deciding that it is time to work on channeling the same energy that he did once more. That signal of the storm was more than enough to give Jiro the notice that something big was coming.
So when the two head to the next area and the energy is released, Jiro brings his arms together in an X motion, then his chi flares into existance. The scarlet blaze explodes into life as the white-blue fire blazes towards his path.
From there, there is the collision of chi crackling against each other as they fight against one another. Lightning builds up from the collision, crackling with a loud surge as Jiro tries his hardest to fight off the overwhelming power.
...And then, he pushes himself out, bursting through the blast as it crackles away. Although the exhaustion of the fight did wound him through the force, Jiro doesn't let it stop him.
He winds his left leg back, then he swings it out towards the head of the ninja.
Meanwhile, they are soon approaching the Greek Theatre. There is Sophocles, lecturing a bunch of other men in toga.

Daisuke's eyes narrow. That was enough chi to drop an elephant. Or Gan. He crouches briefly before sprining up into the air, sailing over Jiro's head and landing among the Greeks. He slips behind a toga'd individual, listening carefully for approaching feet while he catches his labored, unfortunately loud breath. It's not exactly a tactic worthy of showmanship, but who said ninjas were flashy?
COMBATSYS: Daisuke gains composure.

That was. It could had dropped Jiro had he not learned to draw on his chi in the manner of the defensive. Unfortunately, it does tire him out at the process. So, while Daisuke is recovering his breath, Jiro can easily hear the breathing.
So he leaps over towards the setting.
He doesn't move. Instead, he grabs the nearest toga'd man and he -chucks- it out towards the Greek in front of Daisuke, aiming to have him toppled as well.
....It's -his- turn to be silent.

The aim is true, and the Greek takes it right in the face. He falls over, still going through the few motions animatronics are capable of. But underneath, there is no ninja. Ninja is...not visible.
There is silence, apart from the pre-recorded narration of the ride, for a second or two more, then once more the sharp crackle of electricity fills the air, and a blue light emanates from another Greek near the back for two seconds before the wave of energy rips his head off, the arc once more carving through the air in Jiro's general direction.

There is satisfaction as the Greek was knocked over. He is approaching the site where the ninja was it. That is the key word: Was. His eyes narrow, before he slams his fist against the toga wearing individual.
But as his attention shifts towards where the ninja could be. Instead, he's seeing the wash of the carving light energy homing down towards his direction. As he attempts to evade it, he's actually caught -right- at the very center.
His eyes widen and he is soon knocked down.
Ow.
Oh god. Ow.
The light pierces through Jiro in the name of 'truth'. He staggers back, falling on one knee clumsily. But soon, he rises himself back up as a hand ripples with the scarlet fire. WIth it roaring to life, the young man grits his teeth and allows the flowing wrath consume the hand. That scarlet chi roars with life as his eyes focus at Daisuke. "Okay.... that was cool, but.."
Jiro springs forth at the path where the source was, as if trying to pinpoint the ninja before the fist shoots forward. The impact will result in a powerful explosion.

Daisuke stands where he launched the arc, sword at the ready, watching Jiro quietly. Economical movement is the name of the game at this point. Though he crouches slightly when Jiro approaches, it's not until he commits himself to the punch that Daisuke leaps backward, feet hitting the wall with a dull thud. He leaps upward, taking off over Jiro's head smoothly and landing back on the cart which steadily makes its way up the track, approaching the Roman-era vignette.
"Over here, meathead," the staticky voice calls, and he punctuates it with two kunai, the knives flicked out from his free hand at Jiro's back.

It was with that the blazing fist creates an explosion on the greek guy instead, sending fragments and pieces everywhere. "Well damn." He frowns slightly, then he hears the voice calling out towards him.
"What the..."
Meat head?! He'll show you...
Jiro tightens his fists and he runs towards the ninja along the Roman-era vignette.
Unfortunately, Jiro is caught by the two knives to the stomach this time. He drops onto the ground quite hard. "Damn..." Feeling his body not moving, he starts to shut his eyes.
Daisuke blinks once, surprised. "Well...damn. Didn't think he was that close to dropping." He stands up, his breathing evening out, though still staticky through the respirator. Worked like a charm; he didn't have to cough once at all this fight. He looks dwn at the audience staring up at him, most of the kids applauding the show, but for the most part the parents don't look at all pleased. He glances up further into the ride, then drops down to the service area, disappearing from view entirely. Probably best if he makes a quiet getaway. They'll find Jiro quickly enough. Probably.
COMBATSYS: Daisuke has ended the fight here.
