Description: In which Daigo and Bison exchange harsh words over smooth tea. ... or they might just punch each other the FUGG out. You Decide! (Winner: Daigo)
The crowd in Buster's Braced Bowling Alley is much bigger than usual tonight. After all, professional bowling is hardly a spectator sport. Watching a pair of titans crush each others skulls with bowling pins, however, most certainly is. And the SNF announcer is hyping up the crowd.
"That's right, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we have a truly epic clash! Entering now, we have the man who united Gedo High, The Legendary Gang Leader, Daigoooooo Kazaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" With his name being mildly mangled by the anoouncers showmanshiply drawl, Daigo can be seen entering the are described as 'the ring', clad in his trademarked school uniform. Well, at least this time he wasn't stuck in some tall triangular structure for a battlefield. But at the moment, he watches for his opponent to arrive, surveying tonights wacky arena.

Daigo 0/-------/-------|
Bowling. For Chrissakes. Well, at least it's a goddamn AMERICAN sport. (Ssh, don't no one tell Bison different.) Bowling. Heh. Well, the SNF folks at least provided him with something kind of neat... bowling-ball gloves. And not just gloves -shaped- like bowling balls... they're actual bowling balls. 16-ounce. Reinforced. With appropriately-sized holds for his hands.
Bison got there early enough to be there before Daigo; however, as the Big Boss is introduced, Bison isn't anywhere to be found. Until, of course, there's a deep bass thrumming, the kind of sound that is nearly subsonic, that creates a thrill of danger and a sense of foreboding. From the opposite side that Daigo came in...
... in stomps the boxer. With his bowling-ball glove contraptions. Bowling balls never looked so dangerous.

That is quite possibly one of the strangest things Daigo has seen in the SNF so far. Bowling Ball Boxing Gloves. Why would you even....
Shaking his bewilderment, Daigo gives a nod to his opponent, before falling into his normal neutral stance, eyeing up his opponent...
Before the bell rings, and Daigo rushes in with a fast kick to Bison's side, to see what sort of defense he's up against. It's here, we noticed, the one change to Daigo's outfit. He's wearing bowling shoes. They wouldn't even let him in if he didn't.

"Y'know," grunts the boxer, the infamous Mike Bison, as he drops one bowling-ball clad arm to block that kick at his side, "people still think I'm gonna fall for kicks. They just don't get it." My god, he sounds almost conversational! ... for all of just about three seconds.
Then he lifts his right fist, brandishing the bowling ball. "But they just don't get it," he says, sounding sad, his eyes half-closing...
"I DON'T FALL FOR THAT WEAK S**T!" Ah, there's Bison, true to form now; his other arm comes up and he adopts a classic boxing posture, flowing from that into his own attack--snapping his bowling ball-clad hands up and around. Looks like an uppercut, but he's trying to strike underneath the armpits...

The fist coming up, Daigo manages to twist out of the way, and take the hit on his prepared arms. Well. That answered that question, certainly. "Well then..." Daigo does not, in fact, move in with another kick to test that theory, but instead moves to step forward, and grab the boxer by the arm. If succesful, the plan is to throw him forward with a bit of a roll, and hopefully put some distance in.

"WEAK!!" shouts the boxer, right into Daigo's face, as that stoic Boss comes up and grabs him. He was defended against... but the fight's -just- starting. Daigo will get his grab; he will get his roll and slam. What he will NOT get is distance, as Bison manuevers his body just a bit, here and there, so as to remain right up in Daigo's face. It's a risky gamble; he's probably, tactically speaking, quite better off absorbing the damage in other ways...
But you have to gamble to win big, and that's Bison's style. Roaring, he attempts, quite simply, to just bash Daigo's face in with a vicious hook punch, thrown from his left on a tight, fast arc; Bison's counting on the element of surprise here.

In this case, the hit connects, knocking Daigo to the side. And while he tried to roll his head to avoid the worst of it, it was by no means enough. But it's far from enough to take Daigo out of the fight, as his fist glows red with Chi, still stuck in close with the combatant, he throws a single, solid punch at the boxers midsection, hopefulyl while he's still recovering from the hook.

Stings. Stings a lot, actually, as Bison bends towards that fist, folding his arm and taking the chi-infused punch on that burnished, dark muscle. The impact isn't that bad... but that chi... Bison hates it. Absolutely hates that crap. It isn't (just) jealousy--it's something that gives his opponents an advantage over him... and Bison hates that. He grunts, again, as he staggers a step to the side, but he recovers quickly, with the skills gained from his boxing training.
"For an overgrown kid," he grunts, "you c'n hit pretty hard..." But you know? Bison can, too. He grins, offering a simple combination--left jab, followed not by the usual right straight--but a short right hook. It is, in a way, the classic 'one two', but not in the same sense that most use it... still, for now, Bison's remaining up-close and personal. Where he's best.

As he sees Bison coming in with the 'old one-two', Daigo moves to evade, and, in fact, interrupt with his own. Unfortunately, that's not quite how it happens, the right hook throwing off his reaction, meaning that Daigo catches the blow full on. Not much can be done for that, unfortunately.
Henh. Bison surges forward, following Daigo's position. "Good try, -kid-," says Bison, derisively. Obviously he doesn't really mean it at all, but hey, at least the words got out of his mouth.
"You got some balls, tryin' to out box -me-, Mike Bison! I was a goddamn World Heavyweight Champion!!" And here he shows just -one- of the reasons that his titles were taken away, as he attempts to thrust a shoulder into Daigo's solar plexus, to knock him backwards.
That, see, is just to take Daigo off balance, though, as Bison straightens to his full height and then prepares his -real- attack--swinging both arms wide, and then in, attempting to CRUSH DAIGO'S HEAD.
(with bowling balls). Probably the bowling balls will break before Daigo, but... who knows?

This one, Daigo is more prepared for. Bringing his arms up, he blocks the two massive bowling balls, atempting to push them back. It still HURTS, but this time he's not takign bowling balls to the face. However, rather than keep close, he slides backwards, landing in front of....a bunch of bowlign pins. "Fine then..." Grabbing a bowling pun, he hurls it towards the incoming boxer, hopefully giving him a few seconds reprieve.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---GHHK!" That is the sound of Mike Bison yelling, rushing forward, fist at the ready...
... and getting PUNKED IN THE THROAT by a bowling pin. It stops his charge, immediately; he's left to stagger forward, his momentum spent in a single moment, his no-longer-bowling-ball-clad hands at his throat.
Finally, he straightens, his dark eyes burning. "Bitch... you gonna pay for that... you hear me? I am gonna bunch you so hard in that face of yours that your scar's gonna burn with pain..."
Daigo doesn't have time for pointless taunts. But he now knows where he has his advantage. The gang boss wastes no time in taking advantage of his opening, thrusting forward with his palm, as balck spikes of chi fly from his hand, moving to keep the the raging Boxer at a distance, and on the back foot.

Henh. Thinks he's got the boxer, does he? Well. Bison doesn't even bother trying to defend; he just lunges forward, that aura of energy slamming right into his chest. It slows him down a little, but looks like it just makes him even madder; he forces himself forward, smoke seeming to come off his torso, the residual effects of that chi energy...
And he as he lunges, he starts punching. He's back in Daigo's face, again, throwing a quick combination--right hook, left uppercut, right straight, right straight, left uppercut...
The punches are thrown with blinding speed, speed one wouldn't perhaps expect out of a big, power-boxer like Bison...

This. Will. Hurt.
Rather then evade, or even try to dodge, Daigo accepts every punch thrown at him, as he attempts to get closer and closer to the boxer, doing his damnedest not to recoil from the hits. But now, he is in the perfect position, glowing with Phoenix Chi. "You will regret that."
Suddenly, Daigo's Chi explodes in a volcano of flame, surrounding hismelf, and, most likely, the boxer who insisted on keeping in close range.

Bison regrets NOTHING. He's momentarily satisfied, when he feels his punches strike home; nothing gives him that same feeling... though money, wine, and women come close. Bison sneers at Daigo, thinking at first that his punches were solid...
... and then the man explodes, blowing Bison up into the ceiling with a burst of fiery chi that he is completely unprepared for. The ceiling of the building cracks as Bison impacts; and then he's falling. Is he done for? No! At the last moment, Bison lands on his feet, crouched down, panting for breath, his body steaming again.
"Gonna pay... for that..." he hisses, driving himself forward again, despite the tiredness in his muscles, attempting to put a fist under Daigo's chin.

The Gang Boss slides back, catching the blow on the chin, and hitting the ground. But he manages to pull himself up again, spitting some blood from his mouth. He glares at the boxer, rushing at him...
And then past him, to circle around, and grab him from behind, and suplex him into the floor of the bowling alley. It's a risk, but it might just pay off.

*CRASH* Bison goes down! Oh MY GOD! ... but wait! A closely-watched instant replay will show that Bison actualy twisted out of Daigo's grip, just at the last moment; it allowed him to cushion the fall just a touch... -just- enough to survive. The crash is still terrific, though, shaking the entire bowling alley, setting off all the pin-dropping machines as they sense gutterballs.
Bison rises to his feet, panting hard. "Ain't done yet... boy... you gotta face me down one more time..." Suddenly, he's rushing forward again, his arms thrusting forward in an alternating pattern, a series of driving, powerful straight punches aiming to _END_ the fight, one way or another... he's running himself ragged, for sure, but his determination, as dark and single-minded as it is, is also quite admirable, in its own way..

This time, Daigo isn't going to risk just taking the hits. He manages to block this time, prepared for each strike. But he's not in the best state right now, wobbling a bit. "Fine....then..." Another single strike, as he gathers Chi in his fist once againt. He is not going to go down without giving it his all, that's for damned sure.

Ha... ha ha... HAHAHAHA... Bison is laughing, in his head. It wouldn't be a pretty sound if it were being externalized. He's too tired to move; his arms feel like leaden weights with liquid fire running through the veins. He's dog-tired and he's ready for a beer and a nap. Or some vicodin. Somethin'.
But there's something he's gotta take care of, first... this punk kid. He sees that punch coming, of course; he's tired, not blind. But he's focused on a point, a single point on Daigo's face.
That scar. Suddenly, bison lunges, literally leaping forward and slamming the thick, bony part of his forehead into Daigo's scar--just as that punch lands. The impact throws the punch off, but it's still enough to throw Bison to one side, sliding down a lane and into the pins.
Into that moment of silence before everything erupts, the cheerful jingle of the alarm bell system can be heard ringing, and on one solitary screen flashes a congratulations for a wonderful strike. How fitting.

That's it...Daigo that blow has to be enough to take Daigo out. He goes flying from the strike, catching it in the scar. It HURTS.
And he lay there, for a few seconds, before hemanages to pull himself upright, looking at his opponent. Waiting.
The time it takes seems to take forever.
But, the bell rings.
The announcers voice rings out. "And the winner, by knockout...."
"DAAAAAAAAAAAIGOOOOOO KAZAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAA"
COMBATSYS: Daigo has ended the fight here.
