Description: Aranha and Naerose duke it out in Belize. Zach causes trouble for both combatants. (Winner: Aranha)
Aranha waited at the foot of the El Castillo while he waited for his opponent arrive. His mind was at work the moment he arrived studying and every step as he waits for both the others to arrive. He wanted to know every inch like the back of his hand since the knowledge could be the difference between victory and defeat.
He had fought Katelynn before and had yet to avenge his loss at her hands. So he was looking forward to the fight but little did he know that he had a surprise.
Aranha, the Dancing Spider, better enjoy the beautiful landscape set as the backdrop for this fight while he can because things are going to get interesting.
There was however a slight change up in the plans, one that might make Aranha go WTF man. This was in the form of a clerical error. When they were printing the invitations a fly landed on the pages and somehow Katelynn plus fly bits was read as the computer to be Naerose. The plot of Brazil began simply and a confused witch received a letter in the mail. She loved letters that weren't bills.
%And so she shows up, the witch clad in red with a big smile for everyone.
"Hi! I was invited for Snf, see?" She shows her noticed indicating her fight and then looks over at Aranha, who probably saw her as soon as she emerged from the crowd. She fixes her shades. She beams.
"Aranha haha!"
Zach is running a bit late, but eventually shows up in a Hawiian shirt, jean shorts, and sneakers to go with the Terry Bogard-esque ball cap. He looks around, hands in his pockets.
He is still a relative unknown in the fighting circuits, but one or two fans run up to ask for an autograph or to offer encouargement to the wanderer. He takes both with a certain amount of embarrassed grace. Then he hears Naerose. He grimaces a bit, and then quietly ushers the gaggle out of the immediate combat area.
"Hoo boy. This will be... interesting."

There were a whole bunch of reasons that Aranha wasn't happy to see the red witch. First there was the fact that everytime Naerose showed up at one of his official matches, Aranha lost. While for the most part Aranha tried to keep himself grounded in reality he had to acknowledge that there were things that couldn't be explained. Naerose was one of them.
The other reason was the fact that he knew Naerose was connected to Blackjack and so he's convinced they're doing this to mess with him after the 'incident.' Even if he's mystified as to how they'd know it was he who caused it.
The best thing to do now is to act like he knows nothing and this consists of, "You! What are you doing here!?" An official whispers in Aranha's ear. "Oh."
With nothing else ado he goes into ginga rocking from side to side before suddenly lashing out with a spin before swinging a foot at the Witch's head. Might as well make the best of things.

So is this some sort of a dance or something? The witch is totally like what? She pretty much just stands there and watches Aranha, completely and utterly mesmerized by his movements, that is until he decides to swing his foot at her head, connects, and sends her tumbling across the ground going, oof and ouch.
She sits up. Fixes her shades, fixes her hat and can't make the smudge go away and stares at Aranha. She maybe never realized that he was into dancing. She's pretty sure she can do that.
"Hah!" she cries and..Sort of spins in a poor imitation of a waltz with her broom as the shadow partner before trying to hit Aranha with hit.
Zach frowns as Aranha and Naerose start to throw down. His job description for this match boiled down to this:
Cause both parties trouble. Try to be fair about it.
Zach, on the other hand, does not really like Naerose, and does not even know the Dancing Spider. So the initial decision of 'Who to hit?' is a fairly simple one. Aranha kicks the witch, while Zach simply tries to shoot her in the back with a baseball-sized globe of that infamous purple Psycho Power!

Aranha quickly recoils from the kick that he leveled for the witch's head and leans away from the witch dancing away from the waltzing swing of the broom before launching another kick, this time it's to the body from the instep done with the intent of driving the witch towards the wall which he's counting on keeping her pinned down until Zach's Psycho Power can hit her.
Even if the chaos agent doesn't hit, he's already setting up variety of moves for himself and inwardly looking forward to hitting the witch some more.

When she catches nothing but air you could say the witch knew she was in trouble, so the next thing she decides to do is protect herself, holding up her broom and by pure chance, covering the shot from Zach. The truth of it was she was caught off guard but BOTH attacks, but managed to turtle her way out of getting mauled completely and she lifts her head it is with the relization that more might be coming. She decides the best course of action is the tried and true Human shield.
"Ohhh snap! Help!" She cries and tries to grab Aranha and move him into position to protect her from attacks from the unknown attacker (Zach, from behind) and from.. Aranha himself!
Zach grins a bit as he steps to one side, and behind a large-looking rock. He brings a leg waaaay back, like a soccer player perhaps, and covers his lower leg in that sparkling purple energy before kicking the large boulder at Naerose's midsection. The rock takes off as if fired out of a cannon!

Aranha had a different plan in mind when he kicked the witch towards the wall but then Naerose had to try to grab the capoeirista. Capoeiristas have a severe aversion to being tangled up and so he adapts by hopping back and out of the witch's grasp while he has the distance he can't go for a quick melee attack which means he's going to have debut one of his newer moves.
He spins upon landing on ground and with backhanded flick of his wrist he sends a blue glowing spider web right for Naerose, further establishing that he isn't the same fighter Blackjack tried to hire so long ago.

It's total chance really. How does someone make a shot go away she can't see? By trying to get out of the way of Aranha's shot is how. She throws herself to one side and raises her broom which then knocks aside - by chance, the incoming attack from behind get's knocked aside, the one she actually wanted to get out of the way of, does not. She gets hit dead on and lets out a little cry, but the first attack, the one glanced off her broom sends her in one direction with Aranha does the other. She hops on her broom to prevent herself from falling on her face and then jets off at Aranha.
Zach charges the Dancing Spider; he's picked on Naerose enough. For the moment. He tracks the traceur with a calm eye as he skids to a stop, swinging his left fist in a motion that seems like a very dramatic uppercut.
A moment later, a jagged spike of psionic energy lances up where Zach =thinks= Aranha is going to come down. Which would be hard to dodge, which would be the point.

Aranha knew it would be a matter of time before Zach got around to attacking him. Of course, knowing that it was coming and being able to do something about it were two different matters altogether.
Aranha attempts to side step the witch's broom charge and is caught fully by it and is taken off of his feet before rolling into crouch with the witch behind him. He doesn't have time to rest and so he goes into a back handspring to attempt to clear the the psycho energy spike but it is hard to dodge and he gets clipped by the energy but he manages to land balanced on the unclipped foot.
He then twists with a powerful spin attempting to face Naerose again by slamming his foot into her and hopefully taking her off the broom.

Well she was going to crash one way or another, it was only fair that it happen by being kicked off her broom. And so the witch hits the ground with a thud and her broom keeps going. This however has the problem of leaving her distastefully unarmed. She's totally screwed.
"Aw man," the witch says, picks herself to her feet and dusts herself off.
"I need that," she says pointing to the broom and if Aranha needs more help being told to go get it she aims a kick. .
"So go get it!" and aims said kick toward his crotch.
Zach jumps clear off the fracas for a moment, and looks between Aranha and Naerose. He thinks for a moment, and decides to lay off the energy slinging for just a moment. He looks around for something appropriate, and happens upon a another rock! There are a whole bunch of those laying around.
"Hey Spider! Catch!"
Zach then tries to smack the runner with the rock!

Aranha does /not/ like people going for his groin and every time someone has gone for the jewels it has ended with Aranha's feet meeting their face... repeatedly. This time it's no exception.
And it's because he knows where that foot is going and it's why Aranha completely ignores the warning from Zach. Well actually it's filed away but dismissed as unimportant. It drives the Capoeirista to his knees before the foot meets the groin. The lower position of Aranha's body does blunt the impact a bit and the fact that he braced for that particular blow helped him as well but while he's in so close and before her foot touches the ground, his body glows as he jumps up and stomps on Naerose's head.
That's only the beginning. He jumps into the trees, on the pyramid, he even uses Zach as a platform to deliver attacks from a variety of angles and then drops down into a roll right next to Naerose where he makes a final modification to his Joker's Wild attack by finishing it with a soccer style kick right between her own legs. "Get it yourself."
Well the witch isn't going to be one to notice a kick like that, not like Aranha would and especially not after everythign he's done so far. She really crumples neatly. As far as coming up with anything to do. Well, when you're that far gone.. But then again he did attack first, Is she dreaming? Or just sleep blasting? ASk Aranha later. There isn't a call, just a sudden pop and a snap followed by a shower of sparks.
Meanwhile the witch is sleeping peacefully and snring loudly.
COMBATSYS: Naerose can no longer fight.

Zach sets the rock down after staggering back from Aranha's... impromptu springing off of his chest. He lokos at Aranha, then at Naerose...
...and simply sticks his hands in his pockets to walk away from the fight. His job here is done...
