Description: IN WHICH BIRDS AND CATS TEAM UP TOGETHER. Yet, while they fight onwards, and valiantly, there is something far greater that is combined. BEARS. And what else, but a giant bear, to turn the tables for everything good and justice loving?! WATCH AS BEARS VIOLENTLY MAUL OTHERS.
Today marks a purple letter day for Gedo. Birds and Cats have formed an alliance, the alliance of Birdie and Katana. Nothing can stop them now.
And they march. They march long and hard through the streets of the Southtown Sydnicate, being hired by Geese for a quick and simple job. Maybe he thinks that they can't do it right. Maybe he thinks that it'd be funny to see Gedo come after the two thugs across the street in a convience mart.
Whatever the case, both of the thugs are here on this perfect, sunny day. The birds are chirping and the people are happy. But then there are the two thugs that came with empty bags on them. Katana's truck, the get away truck, was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it was hid. Maybe it exploded. Or maybe it's trying to hide /really/ hard back there as a wall.
However, back at the convienent store, Birdie opens the door. There's a little ding-a-ling-a-ling given off as the nice old lady who owns the store turns towards Birdie. "Ohhh. Customers! How can I help you?" She asks, like a sweet old lady.
Birdie blinks, raises and eye brow and chuckles. "Yeah. You can go outside while he take some stuff from your store free of charge. If you don't I'll have to bruise of your hips for you." Birdie states, "Oh. Yeah, and don't tell anyone." Sneaky sneaky Birdie! Now no one will ever find out this is happening at all!
Especially with the owner outside and a truck right next to the building masquerading as a wall with some twigs attached for 'camoflauge'. Hey they should have just painted a tunnel on it.
Nothing... CAN STOP THE MIGHT WHICH IS MIGHTY AND MIGHTILY RUSHING UPON THE BUILDING THAT IS MIGHTLESS.
It is, however, mighty fine looking.
The wall(truck) was triple parked against a fire hydrant, and as Birdie opens the door to the convenient store, Katana LEAPS OUT OF THE wall(truck) and raises his blades. "KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOKIIIIIIAIMA!" He bellows, with no real purpose, or real reason, or real WORDS. But that never stops the Shogun. THAT NEVER STOPS HIM AT ALL.
And that's when the nice old lady comes out of the convenience store, the armored man landing nearby her with BLADES, and with the scary mask. He takes a step forwards... and onto his knees. "You must understand, fellow Japanese woman... we are on a rite of conquest, and it is your store, oh honorable elder, which is the target! I hope you understand.. that today, your shop ACHIEVES GREATNESS!" He bellows, standing up completely. "And we shall take everything that had made it great!" BOTH BLADES IN THE AIR.
"This shall ensure that the greatness is with us now, and that your store will have to re-earn it.. but do not worry, oh elder.. I am sure of your POWER. For the spirits will be with you.. as will the police, BUT THEY SHALL NOT INTERRUPT US!"
ANd that's when Katana stops shouting and walks through the glass door. "Perhaps I should have used the door!" He states in authority. "But no, the SHOGUN OF MAD GEAR, is too good for such doors! WE SHALL LOOT THROUGH THE WALLS!" The Shogun yells, perhaps gone MAD WITH POWER.. as he begins to take items and just thrown them onto his truck.
Birds and cats, working together!? What force of unlimited strength could possibly overcome such an unstoppable perversion of nature!?
The answer is BEARS.
Raizo Imawano is in the neighborhood of Gedo. WHY ON EARTH the Principal of Justice High is anywhere /near/ Gedo High is a question that probably has a very interesting answer that might get him in trouble, but we're not here for that.
Raizo wanders along the sidewalk, on toward Gedo High... when he spies a wall(truck) parked next to the convenience store handily situated across from the school.
And the owner standing next to it looking generally terrified.
...and Katana existing. Let's not forget that.
Raizo merely watches for a moment, and then sighs, popping his knuckles idly. "Those boys," he laments. "Isn't Mad Gear a Metro gang?"
Well either way, the old Princibear quickly jogs across the street, not getting run over because he is the size of a house and if a car ran into him it'd probably shatter like fine porcelain.
He approaches the store. He doesn't call out, preferring to see how long it takes Katana and Birdie to notice their incoming mutilation.
Birdie just sort of tries to keep Katana out of his mind, but everytime he does it seems that Katana forces his way back in by spouting insanity and coming through the freaking wall?! Now that's just... awesome! Birdie nods in approvement for once in forever as Katana has, GASP, done something RIGHT.
Birdie pushes off the old lady as he brings up his bag. "Yeah! Alright bloke. You empty out the cash box and I'll just take whatever here in the store we can use. I'll even take some of those snacks incase we get the munchies on the way back. Heh heh." Birdie states as he begins to empty snacks and even the pictures on the wall into the bag! All those lottery tickets? BAG! Things that shoud be in the bag? BAG. Things that shouldn't? BAG TWICE. Hair cair products? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT'S IN THE BAG.
Birdie, a professional thug and nogoodnik begins to put everything and anything in the back, one after another. Katana can handle himself, right? Everything is going according to plan! Nothings going to stop them now!
And well, he doesn't even NOTICE the large bear man outside. It's probably just a weird wall scroll or something. That Katana sure is whacky.
BEARS!? IF IT WAS ROBOT BEARS THEY'D TRULY BE DOOMED. Maybe they still are.
Either way, Katana existing is important to the world, far more important than anyone would possibly expect, admit, or agree with. They don't know what they're saying though, so Katana wins this time.
As Raizo gets closer, Katana can feel the waves of power running off the bear. BUT HE BELIEVES THEY ARE HIS. What man, machine, or bear, would DARE challenge the MadGear Shogun!? AND HIS BLADES OF MIGHT. But enough of that. Katana is busy, mask covering his face, moving between the store and the truck, not noticing Raizo at all. He doesn't even begin to notice the size of a small house bear who is approaching, step by step. Katana..
IS JUST THAT JAPANESE.
As Birdie GETS A NEW WALL to move things in, Katana heads to the cash box this time, before taking the cash box out finally, and emptying it. And then looking for other money, stuffing things into the cash box before he turns to Birdie.
"We shall help fund it, far beyond what he would have possibly believed!" HE!? WHO IS THIS HE>
Either way, Katana does not see Bear-cipal either. But perhaps when he is mauling their faces.

Raizo steps up, patiently, until he is blocking the light from entering the broken door. He crosses his arms, like a pair of steel pipes.
He stands there watching for an instant, then sighs, reaches down, picks up in one hand the nearest object that isn't nailed down - a lightweight newspaper display stand - and hefts it, casually, testing the weight.
Then he hurls it at Katana's head, to get the Shogun of Wherever the Hell he's From's attention.
"Gentlemen," Raizo rumbles, cool as you please. "I daresay this looks like something you shouldn't be doing."
As Birdie continues to loot, he just looks about. What else could he possibly steal in here that could be worth while. "Yeah." Birdie states back to Katana, "He
'll be real happy with what we get him."
And this is a promise. Not a threat. And why would it be a threat?! He's their friends! Really, it's not just business they go on picnics together and everyhting. But that's for another time. As Raizo steps in, and a large display stand is thrown, Biride turns about to see what's going on... to see what's going on! Oh my. Now that's just horrible! Putting down the bag for a moment, Birdie knockws what he has to do.
Moving out of the store through the hole in the wall, Birdie tries to get the jump on mister Bear, and if he has the jump on Mr. Bear, he's going to use it! Well, he totally will, watch.
A quick grab is made, as if to grab a hold of the larger man. "Sorry bloke, but we're kinda busy. Now, if you're going to buy something," Birdie pauses as he aims to hurl Raizo through the front window with a throw, "you'll join us in the store to do it!"

As Raizo finally BLOCKS OUT THE SUN, or the light, Katana takes notice of him. The pair of steel pipe like arms. That gets Katana. It's a sight he'd never have possibly believed.. IT'S SO AMAZING. But Katana cannot simply stare forever.
Because a freaking newspaper display stand smashes into the Shogun, causing him to figure his options. What options.. what.. can he do!? WHAT C-RIGHT.
Katana leaps from behind the counter, and instead of taking it head on, he takes it BODY on, being slammed backwards, to land against a rack, which causes him to fly at Raizo as it rocks back and then forth, his blades out in an attempt to THRUST BOTH BLADES INTO THE BEAR MAN. What is there a springy stand? This is a question for the ages. PERHAPS THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
"YOU... SHALL... SEE... MY... FEARSOME ABILITIES! SHAAAAAANOOOOOO KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He cries, blades first as he FLIES THROUGH THE AIR.

Raizo's enormous enormity stands UNBOWED even as he's attacked. And for an instant, it almost looks like it could stay that way!
But he underestimates Birdie's strength, and the brawny guy with weird hair does in fact manage to get a grip on him and HURL him further into the store, where Raizo rolls to a stop only slowly, smashing through display cases as he goes.
He rises, dusts himself off, and then glares up as Katana comes swinging at him. "Not a bad throw, young man, but really now, did you think that'd /stop/ me?"
He steps to the side, Katana's blades swinging through empty air, and counters quickly - driving his full, enormous body into the blow, and smashing his knee for Katana's gut while the Shogun of Mad Gear flails. Birdy is spared wrath for the moment on account of having wisely moved Raizo /away/ from him.
Birdie watches as Raizo flies through the front of the store and comes down to a stop. He even watches as Katana attacks Raizo with AWESOME ABILITIES. It's all good and well, really.
But then as Raizo seems to be more of a fast thing, Birdie remembers him. Oh yeah, he's that guy! Oh... oh damn. Uh. Yeah, it's time to help Katana out a little. He thinks, what could help Katana out more than anything ever.
He watches as Raizo turns around and talks smack to him. Oh. Yeah. He totally knows what to do.
"Oh yeah? Well. Maybe I did, Bloke." He waits a second, moving to get closer towards the front of the store.
"Hey! Katana!" Birdie states, asking for Katana's attention. "This bloke just said that Japan sucks."
Oh yeah, he totally just did that.

As Raizo gets right back up, driving his full, enormous body into Katana.. the Shogun attempts to prevent this. His hands rise upwards, clapping towards the knee. "You ... YOU DISLIKE JAPAN!? I SHALL HAVE YOUR HEAD!"
But can Katana stop KNEE!? Not yet, apparently, as it slides through, slamming into the warrior, and falling back, causing Katana to roll backwards from the strike, bowl into a shelf, then another, and then spill milk all over the floor as he smashes into the cases at the back.
But Katana does not stay down. THE SHOGUN NEVER STAYS DOWN. "You .. SHALL SEE YOUR MISTAKE! I SHALL SHOW YOU, PERSONALLY, THE MIGHT OF JAPANESE. The spirits, and my ancestors, will DEFEAT YOU! NO KAYAAAAA SHANOOBOOONUKOOO!" He cries out, blades pointing to Raizo.
He will never truly die. JUST FIGHT TO THE END.
Raizo glances over at Birdie, merely snorting in vague amusement at the thug's retort -- and then the CATCH PHRASE!? that sends Katana into a shrieking rage.
The huge bear of a man looks back at Birdie, asking, "You just had to set him off, didn't you."
Again Katana rallies, and again Raizo simply slips past the blades, sliding past the attack with an agility belying his apparent age and mass, and then, when he's right up in Katana's face, he replies, "Young man, I assure you, I know more about the vengeance of one's ancestors than your entire clan does. Please stand down."
Thne he punches the gigantic shogun in the hat. Mask. Helmet?
Birdie just looks back to Raizo with a shit eating grin on his face, "You bloody well bet I had to, Bloke." Obviously Birdie will GET HIS when the time comes. But the time is now right now, so he's got nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
Advancing on the Bear Man as he simply sends a quick punch into Katana's face, Birdie's quite sure that Katana can handle himself. Why's that you ask? Well, rabid Shogun's show up as being three times more likely to claw the opponents face off.
%Yes with Jitte. Yes they're attached to his hands WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU THINK WOULD BE THERE.
So as Raizo throws a punch, Birdie just grabs down for the giant man's leg behind him, attempting to whip him around the store and into the... DUN DUN DUN, female health isle.
Birdie's so evil.

As Raizo aims to simply slip through the blades, he does, and as Raizo aims get RIGHT IN KATANA'S FACE, he does. As he asks him to stand down, Katana, however, DOES NOT.
But the punch on the helmet.. causes him to stagger back. It's like being hit with a sledgehammer. But the worst part?
YOU HIT THE HAT.
Katana for a moment, is silent. And then he goes insane.. if he wasn't already. "You .. DARE!? TO STRIKE THE SHOGUN'S MASK... YOU SHALL PAY!" He calls out, the wakizashi just pointing. Before he leaps up. "FOR THE SPIRITS AND MY ANCESTORS. HERE IS WHERE YOU FALL!"
The Shogun's leap leads him towards the giant bear, with enough force, hopefully, to slam him into the ground, both blades pushing into him. And if he knocks him over, Katana will do some BEAR CLEANING, even as Birdie whips him about.
"DAIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He charges. Hard. Fast. The ground and Bear are pressed together so fast THERE IS A FIRE ON RAIZO. He keeps charging, not getting anywhere because of Raizo BUT THE FIRE IS STILL THERE. And then he aims to flip him up. And then ... PILEDRIVE THE BEAR. "BURRRRNIIIIIIING!"
And then jump away. "FOR JAPAN, WHICH THIS MAN IS LYING TO ME OF BEING BETTER THAN. I ... AM THE TRUE JAPANESE!"

Raizo learns the hard way what happens when you hit the hat.
Suffering. Suffering and woe.
Raizo is picked up by Birdie, and mutilated by Katana, and thrown by Birdie, and set on fire by Katana, and after a moment, there's nothing happening over in the womens' aisle!
Raizo Imawano...is dead!?
Apparently not: shuddering heavily, blood soaking his shirt and suit, dripping from severe wounds; his eyes and his face, swollen thick by suffering. His suit is smoldering.
He's snearing.
"I see," Raizo mutters. "I didn't expect the two of you to be worth this much trouble."
He takes another moment, panting, and then finally looks up, a manic gleam in his eyes. "LET'S SEE HOW FAR WE CAN TAKE IT, BOYS!" he cackles, and then MOVES, speeding along through the destruction - trampling his way across aisles, hands outstretched. He grabs at Katana as he passes, aiming to snag the Shogun of Mad Gear by the head and bodily drag him along, smashing his body against and through whatever may happen to be in the way between Raizo and BIRDIE, and Princibear again reaches out to grip his face, with his free hand, and then, provided he's managed to grab at least ONE of them...
...he pinwheels his arms, spinning the both of them around and smashing his fellow titans into anything that happens to be in the way, before HURLING them right the hell out the front doors.
If nothing else, this will hopefully put the fear of Bear into them even if they proceed to blow him up.

Birdie hasn't been assaulted all battle! Surely there is nothing that can stop such a terrible beast! But then the Bear Man does it. Oh he sure does. Even as he gets hurled to the other isle and Birdie begins to walk away, the man just has to get back up.
Well, he sure does!
And as he does, he launches himsel forward, grasping a hold of Birdie's face. It's a good fit. He's a bit on the heavy side but Raizo can make it happen -- And does! Birdie's face is grasped terribly, and being smashed around is putting the pain right into everything. Oh this hurts! Birdie tries to move through it, but finds as he's tossed out the front door that it isn't going to happen like that.
Coming to a terrible stop in the street, Birdie blinks, bleeding, and pushes himself up. It's that time again. It's TIME TO MAUL A BEAR.
Moving back inside at a brisk pace, Birdie just reaches out as Raizo comes to a stop, aiming to give him a heck of a lot of head butts.
BIRDIE STYLE. And if those head butts go through, well, poor Raizo. We knew him well.

And then Katana is picked up. THE MAD GEAR SHOGUN NEVER GIVES UP.
Although he is quite good at flailing helplessly when picked up by a giant princibear before being hurled the hell out of the front doors, being spun about rapidly and then smashing into thing after thing. Simply, the Shogun is hurled, unable to even yell, picked up by his head, and then tossed out of the doors.
And then he collapses on the other side.
And then he stands up. "I .. SHALL NOT ... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" He seems to be stuck on this word, before he collapses again, forwards, unable to really move from the hurting.
BUT THE SPIRIT STILL BURNS>

Upon getting hold of Raizo, Birdie would not stop there!
Heavy links would surround Raizo and lift him INTO THE AIR. Once there, he would fly really, really high up into the air before Birdie POULLED THEM DOWN. And then Raizo would fall to earth, STRIKING THE GROUND HARSHLY. Because Birdie is powerful like that.
But oh he's still alive?! Wuh-oh!
Raizo stands there, half-slumped, breathing labored. He's not down yet, but...these two are giving him a much harder time than he remembers! Partly, he reminds himself, because the /last/ time he saw these jokers, he had Ryo Sakazaki around beating one of them senseless.
He begins, slowly, to stand, but then his eyes painfully widen, Birdie standing tall. "You're joking," Raizo mutters, then realizes to his horror...he hadn't HIT Birdie until that throw! Crap!
But he's not done yet, either, and so as Birdie comes along, Raizo brings his arms up into a tough brace stance. Birdie's MILLION HEADBUTTS OF MURDER smash into the harder parts of Raizo's skull, and then the titanic man HURLS Raizo up into the air, yanks him down, and --
--Raizo moves. Thick sheathes of chi surround him, he tears the links Birdie's using apart with his claws and bare hands, and he roars "YASHA GURUMA!" as he descends upon Birdie like a meteor composed entirely of murder and knives.

Birdie easily picks the man up and drops the man down, but in the end, it's pretty easy to see that Raizo is in a league of his own. Birdie's unable to even successfully TAKE IT LIKE A MAN as he watches Raizo come up, to descend like a meteor on him.
Birdie raises his hands, to grapple and continue with, but Raizo's already there. The strike of energy that's pretty lodged into the chest make Birdie get rocked even harder. Oh lord was he in pain. And even still in pain, Birdie has to force himself up. "Hah... hah. Wow you hit hard." Birdie states as he prepares to throw himself right at Raizo.
And he does, slowly limping up and throwing himself at Raizo, aiming to strike the man, and actually run into him with his hair doo and run him into the ground with punches. After a while, the punches slow down.
And then stop all together. Wow, that turned around fast! Birdie just rolls off and begins to unconsciouslly move to the truck. Wow that hurt.

Raizo moves. It hurts - everything hurts, right now. But he can't afford to let Birdie unload. The titanic thug comes crashing at him, and Raizo throws himself backwards, landing on protesting arms, and then not so much somersaulting as FALLING back down onto his feet, staring at Birdie with a dangerous gleam in his eye...
...which he closes, as soon as Birdie turns to run away.
"That didn't go so well," Raizo mutters, sitting there a minute to get his breath back. "The poor owner's not going to be happy." Fortunately, most sane people in Southtown have fighter insurance by now! Unfortunately, it's probably provided by THE EVIL GEESE HOWARD.
COMBATSYS: Raizo has ended the fight here.
