Description: A literary beatdown! (Himeko wins against Laila.)
What is the meaning of this? Is there about to be another match involving the amazing Hurricane Hime that's not at a library? Apparently so, however some would understand that the heroine has a bit of historical importance to Taiyo. Historical in the sense that she strongly supports it.
The Taiyo Dome is bustling, plenty of people are filling up the seats and admittadly most of them students! Is this a second chance for her to restore some fighting pride to the school? Could be.
As usual it's an open challenge, the pink-clad girl that's suddenly bursting through a thin sheet of paper with a cry of 'mmmMORTALS!' hasn't the slightest clue who in dickens Laila is. But her name is pretty! The applause is grand, but obviously biased.
She rushes like a bullet toward the center stage that's set up as a basketball court; it's normal, with a hoop at each 'side' so it looks like a giant cross from overhead. The court is surrounded by a giant, metal gate. Metal as the 'net' that hangs from the hoops. One might say there may be an unfair elemental advantage in this match! Taking the center court, Hurricane Hime strikes a pose for the croud, as she cries, "Hurricane Hime.. APPEARS!!"
The competition is significantly less saucy and spunk-filled! Of course, Laila standing off on the side of the enormous Taiyo Dome flicking a cigarette and wearing a tight skirt was getting her her share of... dare we say it... heat. Even if it was quieter, more intent heat.
The thin sheet of paper trick makes Laila raise one eyebrow, shifting her weight to her other leg to make her hips shift. This IS going to be pretty easy, Laila thinks, as she steps up into the ring itself, glancing up towards the hoops, the net, everything! She flicks the cigarette off to the side, thus proving her to be a rudo (ruda?), and undoes her hair scarf, tucking it in a blouse pocket and shaking her hair out.
"'Hurricane Hime,'" she says aloud. "I've heard a lot about you. They say you've got a very unique fighting style... is that the case?"
Woah. When addressed, Hime quickly turns around to look up to the egyptian woman with a look of mild suprise. She's fought quite a few people but this woman looked much more exotic than the others. Very pretty! It's rather impressive! However refusing to be shaken up by flattery, the self-proclaimed heroine crosse sher arms with a big, bright grin. "Ah, so you've heard the rumors! It's true that the style is unique but it's more than that.. It is the strongest style!"
The little Hurricane strikes a series of quick poses, swinging her arms this way and that, and then takes a hop back to drop into a stance very similar to an ansatsuken fighters. "I'm afraid I don't know much about you or your style, but I hope that you'll learn something from mine; All styles can be improved with a dash of Saikyo, So pay close attention! Are we ready cuz I know I'm ready to be ready, Freddy!"

"Saikyo style?" Laila says, the word a little unfamiliar on her tongue. She lets out a low chuckle as her lips curve back into a rather mirthless smile, eyes narrowing in a faux-friendly way. "I'm afraid I've never heard of it. Can you say that it's really the strongest?"
Still, Laila thinks, the girl's not doing much harmful. She might as well play along and pull out the acs when the time is right. Instead of hurling steel, she takes a step forwards, leading with one arm that waves in front of her, as if she's trying to imitate Mantis Style, or perhaps Snake Style, or perhaps Neco Coneco style?! This is just to cover her, of course, as she approaches --
She slides one arm forwards as the opposing leg snaps forwards, to try and shove Hurricane Hime back at the same time as she trips the smaller girl up! It's not terribly forceful, though perhaps surprise will tell.

Hime's had a good handful of types of fighters she's gone against. She'd like to think she's 'wow'd' every one in some way or another; but she can tell right away the Laila doesn't seem to find her very imposing. Which only makes her grin broader of course. "Well, actually there's a perfectly reasonable explaination why you've never heard of it," she replies as she watches her oponent get close. She shifts with the intent of tumbling away, and Laila is faster than she looks! She's quite tripped up and, "Ack!"
She hits the turf but quickly is back up with a handspring. "Of course it's the strongest, it's just you're ignorant!" she chirps, dashing forward to then leap into the air, twist to face Laila backward and attempt to clock her right in the chin with a flying back kick! "It's ok! None of us are perfect~"

Bonk! Laila's arm raises as she ducks her head to avoid that kick, catching it instead on the arm. Did Himeko hit metal?! She's got something up her sleeve - a hidden weapons master!? Like that guy from that old show. Maybe Laila will turn into a white duck, later.
"What's that explanation?" Laila asks, taking a few quick steps back. She raises her arm, then, before lowering it quickly, something sliding into her hand. "I'd love to hear it -- unless you just mean to call me names!" And then she flings the shuriken at Himeko, a fast-moving bar of metal with a sharpened point! However, she isn't really aiming at anything too vital, so. Maybe she doesn't want to get too grisly in front of schoolkids?

Shuriken? That's.. That's like scissors! Is this a classic scissors versus paper match? Or maybe Laila is some sort of ninja? She certainly didn't look like one but.. You never know these days. Hitting the floor again she's in position to deal with that blade though, she jerking her shoulder to the side as it wizzes by to imbed into one of the b-ball poles. "Woah!!" she cries, looking back, then forth again.
"Names? I'm just stating the facts, you're purposefully uninformed, uneducated if you aren't familiar with the style that took out Sagat's eye! Come on, this is basic stuff here!" Hime scolds, shaking a finger at her opponent. Woah, a page from Iincyo's book? And with that Hime is on the prowl again, reaching for the holster at her thigh. When her hand whips forward, a rope of paper slips is thrown out toward Laila's ankle and if it connects, wraps about it twice! She then jerks it like a whip, sending a shockwave forth that at the end would toss Laila into the air and slam her back down onto the floor!

Laila's eyes widen at the sight of that paper shaping, forming a rope, whipping towards her. It astounds her! She's taken completely off balance, and is left with neither her crayon, nor her pencil as she's grasped and whipped into the air. She tenses up her back to avoid getting her neck snapped by brutal whiplash, and then she's flung down, bouncing on the ground before landing with a small cloud of dust around her. "N, nngh..."
She pushes herself up, her hair in disarray. "So," she says aloud, "this is the style that brought down Sagat and maimed him?" She rises, rolling her neck and giving Hurricane Hime another smirk, this one significantly less warm. "Well... that is /very/ strange... because I had never heard of Dan Hibiki using PAPER." She folds her arms in front of her then, tossing her hair back with a snap of her neck.
The air around her shimmers as she says, thoughtfully, "Maybe he just never learned to read?" The air itself does seem warmer, although this is actually her slightly heating the metal 'fencing' and hoops with her gathering chi, and that heat radiating outwards normally. Given the chilly weather outside, it's probably slightly pleasant!
COMBATSYS: Laila gathers her will.

It actually takes a moment, but suddenly Hime feels a light sting on the back of her foot. Her brows furrow slightly as she flashes back to having kicked Laila and.. Uh. It was a pretty hard defense. Maybe the woman is REALLY buff. ... Uh. Some.. How. She has time to think about this since her opponent is busy getting slammed in a not-fun-but-worksafe-way.
There's a bit of silence as Hime stares at her opponent, and then she crosses her arm with a completely baffled look. "You've never heard of him using paper? I guess whoever told you that doesn't like you or something," she says with a smirk. The air getting warmer is most certainly noticed! It is confusing, of course. But not enough to keep her off the offensive, as she's racing toward Laila and then springs off the floor, curls into a ball and barrels like a cannonball toward the woman. Look out! If she impacts, she'd bounce right off and land on her feet. "Cuz that's basic! He loves his signature!"

It really is a hurricane - a hurricane of Himedom! The strike hits Laila in the midsection, sending her staggering back with an audible 'oof' as she lets her hands splay out. She staggers then, resting back against the "fencing"... and raises her head, her lips drawing back in an even crueler grin, this one actually distorting those otherwise-pretty features palpably.
"Do you think I have the time to spend learning about the techniques of every mail order charlatan to ever buy a late night info-mercial?!" Laila says, before letting out a rough, wild cackle. "You've already gotten yourself into the worst trap you could imagine!" Her fingers coil around that fencing, and her head leans forwards. "You won't be coming out of this intact, 'Hurricane Princess'!"
Her hand raises then, another needle appearing in her palm, the length of it already looking dull red. She draws that hand back, taking a step forward and throwing her entire weight into the slinging of the needle - it flies fast, but she's certainly telegraphing it! Can the legendary princess overcome this strike? Is there worse yet to come?!

"Hey, I'm just saying!" The pink-clad wonder says back to her opponent, seeming to be in even higher spirits now. "If you're going to try to argue, know your stuff, lady!" Because it's true, Dan doesn't specialize in paper, that's her own little twist. But it's much more fun to tease her opponent, get her nice and riled up! However is this going to work for her, or against her!
One can almost see the question marks flashing over her head, trying to figure out what Laila's 'trap' is though. "Ummmmmm.." A needle? That's.. Not too bad, I mean sure it was ripped from the fence or something but. "Initiate, HOT DODGI- YEOWCH!" There's a nice hiss the moment the tip hits her scarf and shoulder, it sends her tumbling back, but she rolls to her feet, grasping the needles base and pulls it right out with a cringe. "... Oh man, my scarf. Shoot!" And you know, not OW MY SHOULDER HELP AMBULANCE!
However it makes it a little harder to pose, even when she strikes one, "Let's go!" she whips out her trusty textbook 'Excalibook', tears out three brightly glowing pages and whips them into the air. They fold into paper airplanes and diev bomb toward her opponent! "That's a crazy technique you got there! But Hime will prevail!" ................ "BELIEVE IT!"

Not the greatest foe of any Egyptian -- READING!?
The paper airplanes fly straight and true as Laila is stepping forwards, confident and perhaps too much so to really understand just what she's doing. She ends up with several of them embedded in her, almost before she notices, and it takes her a moment more to really notice the pain. Her back arches and her face contorts, some blood - just a small amount, of course - seeping out around the impact points. She twitch twitches, then, before twisting around to rip the paper out of her body. Then she takes a few moments to just... stand there, screaming, twitching a few times and seeming to focus palpable hate rays onto Himeko!
The hate-a-thon finally trends back into normal speech as she says, venemously, "The only thing I believe is that I'm going to break you over my knee, you little brat!"

"ZOUNDS!!" Hime yells back, taking a big step back with an overly dramatic suprised pose. Why, even her black scarf flaps back a little bit as Laila shows her.. What.. True colors? Or has she been teased to the breaking point? Either way, it's not very funny to the heroine, it's kinda freaky!
Following th threat, Hime just gives a big, bright grin, her lesser injured arm sweeping out to her side, "I don't know about all -that- now, but if you're going to come at me with your best, now's definatly the time! I hope you brought your bookbags, because I'm going to take you to school! Oh!" Hime feet-shuffles, as she thinks it's time.. To take things to the next level. And with that she just bursts into the frey, one fist held forth Skullomania style until she's close.. In which she slides along the turf while scissoring her legs to capture Laila's, one hand reaching for the womans wrist. A sharp twist would send the egyptian crashing onto her back, then she hand springs off the floor to land on her gut. "Take this!"

Himeko 0/-------/=======|=======\======-\1 Laila
Laila is subjected to the worst fate imaginable! Being thrown to the ground, stomped, left on the floor like some kind of a cheap joke! The indignity of it burns within her even as the pain makes her groan, eyes still burning hot with the fury she'd shown just a moment before. "You, little....!"
She reaches up then to grab at Himeko's ankle and - do nothing with it. Just hold her there, if she can. Hold her there and pour her pain, her hatred, her even more hatred, and all of her... even more hatred upwards, outwards, towards the roof. No, not the roof! Towards the struts supporting that basketball hoop up above them. The struts and the /screws/ within them. She grits her teeth, the power flowing out of her as something sizzles, melts, and the thing suddenly groans in strain.
Laila lets go and skuttles as best she can out of the way, cackling unpleasantly again. This may be a cue. Can the Hurricane Princess look up in time to see that enormous object as it breaks free from its moorings, suddenly toppling down towards her head?! It has to be at least three times her size! She may have to resort to an active means of defense, especially as its lower reaches seem to be glowing a faint red as well. What manner of witchcraft...!?

How embarassing. Of course Hime thought it looked very -very- cool, a girl her size performing a neat takedown like that? A++! And then she's up on her feet, fist raised in the air as she barks a Saishu-esque, "Ha-HA!" Her celebration is cut short though, as the heroine looks down, folds her hands behind her back and just watches as Laila does her little thing. What -is- she doing anyway?
She doesn't budge and inch when the woman goes back cackling like a witch, and just simply doesn't get it until, "... I- I don't get it.. What's so funn-" she looks up. ".. Uh oh."
She actually can't believe what she's seeing. She has to admit, her opponent really knows how to use her surroundings! "... UH O-" WHAM! obviously the object is a lot bigger than she is, and.. There's no escape! It's almost like being swung at by an oversized mallet as she just goes flying across the half court, sailing clean, bounces off the rattling gates and crashes into the turf again belly-down, kicking up a bit of dust. The sound of impact echo'd real nice through the arena too. For a moment she doesn't budge. But then her hands twitch, and when she pulls herself up from the floor there is blood just pouring down from her forehead over her face, she using her glove to wipe off her mouth. "... This hurts to much I can't even find the right cry for it. Nothing wrong with the basics thought right?"
Hime scrambles forward, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"
And then she springs forward with a flip, her heel snapping out with hopes of slamming it down atop Laila's head. "That!" she lands, following with a backflip kick under the womans chin, "Really!!" and finally just barrels forward, throwing herself head first into Laila's stomach! "HURT!"

Laila is barely up at her feet when that flipping Hurricane of Hime comes back at her! Can anything stop Hurricania?! Laila's eyes narrow, she crouches slightly, reaching up -- and as that heel slaps into the palm of Laila's hand, it becomes clear that SOMETHING can! This, of course, interferes with followup.
"Do you know what else hurts?!" Laila screeches. "What else hurts -- is being stabbed in the back with a bunch of," ooh, that's going off the Neo League's DVD releases, "paper airplanes!" And with this, she turns around and tries her level best to wrench that leg out of Himeko's hip socket in the process of sending her down to the ground!

"Ptoo ptuuh!" Spitting the blood from her mouth and an eye closed.. Yeah, this bleeding thing is definatly a pain in the butt. Maybe that's why she messed up the kick, she isn't entirely sure! However the AMAZING happens at that very moment! Her hands thrown up and behind her head, there's a look of worry when Laila looks to be doing something really really bad. The fierce jerk does something neither of them expected, and that's Hime's boot flying right off her foot when the wrenching is done. Behold! Look behind her it seems that at mid-technique she had tied her paper slips another basketball pole fence and she's now grasping those slips while she falls to the floor and lands on her feet.
Hime stares at Laila. And then pouts as she lets the ropes go and crosses her arms, "Oh it was just a baby pinch. I say walk it off!" she declares, and starts to get fired up. There's a blaze in her eyes as she grins again, grasping behind her to swing an oversized paper fan up at Laila's chin; the very tip explodes with bright white energy moments before impact that'd send her opponent flying up into the air, "Here, I'll help!" Casting the fan like a fishing line, the paper extends to grasp Laila's ankle, and she'd proceed to giant swing her right into another basketball pole!

Argh! Grabbed?! Laila finds herself hoisted ignobly up and swung around towards that basketball pole. She grabs at it instead of being slammed into it, which is at least to her benefit in the long term. She only has pulled wrists, not a whacked head!
As the paper seems to relent, though, Laila bounces on her back, skidding along the court floor. She answers Himeko with a little "ngh!" of pain, flinging another of those shuriken at the little devil-girl! This one, though, she isn't aiming casually. She wants it to sink into her and hurt! However, it's not on fire. That's something, at least.

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- awwwwwwwww." D:
Hime thought she totally owned Laila there, but alas that is not the case. The slips do give, of course, they're hardly unbreakable luckily for her opponent. Her injured shoulder is feeling a little better now at least, she giving it a light roll, and .. She's starting to feel the drain now here. She can see the shuriken quite well, despite the continued bleeding down her face, but can she do much about it? Well, not really, the metal hits her body with a *thunk* and causes her to stagger back a little, but this time it falls onto the ground on its own! "Still standing, huh! I guess I'd better fix that post haste!"
Onward the young Hime pushes, needing to get closer to Laila if she's going to finish the girl off! She gives a large, dynamic, super jump into the air! "Hime's ULTIMATE technique!!" she cries, and she starts spinning in the air like a little blue hedgehog, "Final! Death! Justice!" shoom! She beelines at Laila, and at the last moment unwravels to reveal her oversized paper fan again.. This time sans any sort of energy, wanting to smash it down in her opponents face! "Saikyo Special!!!" FWAP!! That is, if it connects. That fwap would be loud enough to ring in the air of the arena but good!

Laila's already kneeling down, preparing to leap up and subject Hurricane Hime to a brutal throw right over her knee, maybe even an attempt at some kind of a backbreaker move. She's pissed! Why not cripple a child? Of course, all of this is rendered moot because as she leaps up --
THWAP
Laila stands there, her face hidden by the fan, fingers curling slowly into fists...
It's a freeze-frame moment. Though really it's difficult to judge if the situation is very awesome, or very frightening because many spectarors; despite the love of their hometown hero, may feel the little Hurricane may have just signed her own death warrent. To Hime, it doesn't matter. She thinks she looked VERY AWESOME in that defining moment, the fan sliding down when she finally lands. Is that a red mark down Laila's face? Could be. "Oh ho ho, oh boy.. Oh BOY, you survived that that isn't good."
The girl twirls the fan and re-sheathes it, "What are you, immortal?? I'll fix that!" And how? More kicks! With a grunt she twirls around and throws a single back-kick toward Laila's gut. "Hyah!"

Laila leans back, some of those metal skewers sliding out into her hand and starting to burn red hot as she draws them back. Then the smaller woman whirls around like some kind of a dervish, and as Laila rears her hand back to stab near-molten lead into Hurricane Hime...
WHACK
That back kick hits Laila in the solar plexus. Her eyes widen and she drops the metal spikes, staggering back with a very musical wheezing sound. Score one for Saikyo!
Also chalk one up for the little people! Brushing the back of her hand along her forehead and getting even more blood on it (she is looking like a bit of a mess at the moment), there's an even broader smirk from Laila's double-over. "They say that my fighting style takes peoples breath away! Pretty true, huh? But I have a secret to tell you, my exotic-looking foe."
Hime takes a faux-kung fu stance, bouncing on the toes of her feet. Give her a second to catch her breath and.. "I lied, when I said the attack before way my ultimate technique! If you're smart you'd give up now, and then ask if you can sign up at the Hibiki Dojo, yeah?"
Hime darts forward, and snaps her left leg out, looking to catch her opponent right in the arm, then kicks with the opposite to the other arm. It's then finally twirls to finish with a sobat kick! "Not that your metal thing isn't cool, but it's lacking! You should chill out a bit and think about it rationally."

Even as Laila struggles to regain her footing, she is subjected to a furious volley of kicks which hit her in the arms, which are now significantly less metal laden! There isn't any snapping, but she does make a few tight, pained noises as she's kicked twice and then thrice, her arms slammed up into her face - nearly breaking her nose!
She can feel her legs giving out beneath her even as fury rises in her, impotent. Maybe in time her rage will be unstoppable! That time isn't now. She snarls, then, reaching one hand with a fumbling motion into her blouse, yanking out a handful of those spikes. She wills herself up, staying on her foot on raw cussedness and little else, and charges forwards with a downward slash, aiming at Hurricane Hime's... her /everything/, really; she can't be picky in a situation like this!
She sinks to her knees then, and flops further forwards, steam seeming to rise from her body.

A good defense, Hime is rather impressed. Though she seems genuinly suprised that Laila is still so mad! Why should she be, the heroine offered a very very good deal! She did notice the less metal-y response however, telling her her opponent has probably weakened drastically. Set up in a slightly more defensive position, the little Hurricane takes Laila's attack dead on, saying upon approach, "I tried to warn you, but it seems you won't be satisfied until you realize what you're dealing with!"
So what happens? The spikes are noticed, but perhaps also noticed is her textbook in her arm, in which she tears out the pages in a rainbow arc. Oh the attack most certainly hits and sinks in a bit, the spikes slam into the make-shift wall and right down onto the tiny fighter. But in that exact moment there's an explosion that would send her opponent flying back as the saikyo fighter declares, "Allow me to start by telling you my name! I am...." the blood is wiped from her face as the girl swings her arms up, bent at the elbows and stands on her booted foot, "SHE whom does nnnot allow ILLITERACY!!"
Her stance straightens, arms held out like airplane wings as she steps rapidly from foot to foot. "The defender of knowledge!!" With a quick crouch her left palm slaps the turf, then she windmills her arms into a pose suspiciously similar to a masked-skeleton fighters. ".. Hurricane.. Himeeeeeeeeee!"
Bottle rockets whistle into the sky. It could very well be a co-incidence, but during the whole ordeal it'd seem the judge has already declared the young heroine the winner of the match. Though the applause perhaps isn't as great as it could be as they're pretty confused by the uh.. Very.. Cool pose. 'Sweet.. I -nailed- it!'
COMBATSYS: Himeko has ended the fight here.
