SNF 2008.04 - Cats and Dogs! Katana/Tran vs Ingrid/Naerose

Description: WHAT IS THIS THIS ISN'T MY ORDER OF PIZZA I DEMAND MORE JAPANCHOVIES.. NO NOT THOSE ANCHOVIES, JAPANCHOVIES. THE RAW FISH. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR THIS POOR SERVICE. ALSO I DECLARE WAR AGAINST YOUR PIZZA ESTABLISHMENT (Winners: Ingrid and Naerose)



"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIES AND GEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTLEMEN!" It's an exciting night at Howard Arena as the ever loveable SNF announcer begins his weekly routine. Dr. Tran, standing in one corner of the arena, immediately spaces out. Blah blah, guy is probably asking if everyone is ready to rumble or something, blah blah. How long can this go on until it gets to the good parts?

And then a spotlight blazes into existence, illuminating Dr. Tran for everybody to see. "In this corner, the new holder of the Contender's title, DOCTOR! QUACK! T.! TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Tran, mid-way through raising an arm to smile and wave, freezes. His teeth begin to grind, but then through a mighty force of effort, he raises his hand the rest of the way and begins to mechanically wave to the crowd.

After the fight is over? Assuming Tran can still stand, he and some SNF personel are going to have words. Angry, hurtful words.

AND IN THISSSS COOOOOORNER.

The spotlight sort of floats over Katana, standing there triumphantly. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEY. YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE SHOGUN OF MAD GEAR! YOU JUST CAN'T!" And suddenly, the Shogun of Mad Gear begins to CHASE THE SPOTLIGHT. "Come back here! .. You light, THE SHOGUN WILL HAVE HIS DAY IN THE SPOTLIGHT. HE WILL HAVE HIS MOMENT OF GLORY AND FAME!" Katana keeps chasing, but the spotlight is either drunk or has things against Mad Gear because as best he can, KATANA IS RUNNING IN CIRCLES.

If this is pre-fight show, it does well.

"You .. WILL BE .. MY SPOOOOOOTLIIIIIGHT!" Eventually it stops and Katana leaps into the center. "AHAHAHAHHAHA! There. Now that is do-" It flits off towards the other contenders, as Katana glares.

There will be reparations for it! .. REPARATIONS.

Although trucking Howard Arena probably isn't the best idea. Especially with his boss being, you know, Geese.

HMMMMMMM. Moving over to Tran, the massively muscled Shogun readies himself, raising both jitte. "They stand no chance." He mentions to Tran. "Whomever they are."

AND THEN THE LIGHT PASSES OVER HIM AGAIN. "And that demon light begins to get on my nerves. THE SHOGUNS NERVES."

In an utter contrast moment to Katana, Naerose is caught, red handed, with her fingers in the cookie jar. She's literally got someone's cookie jar, shaped like a piggy. And as the witch reaches in and scoops out the cookie goodness the spotlight shines on and she looks up like a dear caught in the headlights. Totally obviously stolen the cookies, whose cookies? We don't know, but the crumbs on her red dress and smears of chocolate around her red lips confirm, cookies have been stolen.

"Aw snap! It's the Po-Po!"

She runs away from the spotlight as best she can. Really it gives up pretty fast too. It probably would rather find someone else to shine on anyway at this point, meanwhile the witch returns to her cookie jar, being once again, in the dark.

Standing in her corner of the arena is Ingrid. She has a rather happy smile on her face and waves to the crowd, whether they cheer for her or not. Certain abilities of hers make fighting in front of such a massive audience an incredible rush, the excitement so very, very infectious. And so what if there are also those who are disgusted with the 'tiny girl' in the ring, and those that find her annoying, there are plenty of those who are the opposite to cancel them out.

"And in the final corner is Ingrid Holmann, the self proclaimed Eternal Goddess!" More waving goes on and her smile brightens a little. So they've introduced her with her little nickname, have they? Tran she really doesn't know, Naerose… well, how could anyone forget Naerose and her mini World Warrior contest?

And finally there's Katana. Oh, Katana, you get such an amused look from Ingrid. She raises her voice so she can (hopefully) be heard, "Why hello, Mr.Shogun! Have you managed to reconcile with your weeping ancestors? I do hope you've managed to calm their poor nerves."

"Man, Howard Industries or Enterprises or Incorporated or whatever the hell it is that Geese has got is really just dropping the ball left and right, aren't they?" Well, maybe they intended to irritate the beejezus out of half of their fighters. Tran's a doctor, not an advertising executive. "Or maybe they're just trying to get me pissed off beforehand..." Like Tran really ever needs that extra little push.

"Shit, whatever. Let's go, big guy, show them we're serious business!" Those final kinda half-assed words of inspiration given to Katana, Tran is ready to BURST INTO ACTION! He waits a moment first, though. The moment's gotta be right. Wait for it...wait for it...

t "FIGHT!"

The announcement bursts through the arena and Tran is off like a shot, heading directly toward Naerose. He raises one hand high and prepares to crush the red witch's head with a mighty punch, along with some proper wit to go with it! "Get...get...crumbled!" It's terrible enough to humiliate even Tran. He's still going to punch Naerose, though. Maybe that'll make him feel better.

"Hahahah! Show them? I am certain they know .. BUT ALL THE SAME, THE SHOGUN MUST.." Tran is bursting off, and Ingrid mentions questions if .. he has reconciled with his weeping ancestors. There is a moment after fight where the Shogun just doesn't move. Really. There is no movement.

But then he bellows. OH HOW HE BELLOWS. "You .. DARE believe my ancestors are weeping!? If anything .. they weep for yours, for ever having been born!" He yells above the roar of the crowd. "But do not worry I SHALL FIX SUCH A MISTAKE. SHOGUN STRIIIIIIIIKE!" The Shogun slides across the field, straight towards Ingrid, jitte brought back slowly as he just erupts forwards.. into a REALLY simple assault, intending to SIMPLY SPEAR the girl within his LOST RAGE.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" STAB.

HE MEANS BUSINESS.

Who could forget World Warrior Mini? I'll tell you who, Naerose could forget all about world warrior mini, despite sponsoring and running it and receiving no ratings, or commercial air time or any news coverage at all that she did not herself run, there was a World warrior mini. Still, if you asked her about it now? She'd totally be like huh? They say Naerose's have no memory, I gueess their lives are just like mine and that litttle plastic lunch box, is empty every time. Totally.

In the true spirit of the <censored> organization, Tran and Naerose apparently must fight like siblings over cookies. That is if your siblings tried killing you whenever they fought with you. Naturally Naerose tries to block with the only thing she has free to her.

Naerose has attempted to block with Cookie Jar. It shatters. She's heart broken. But she's still loved.

"How could you?!" She totally cries and then goes after Tran with something that will teach him, this will show him.. To mess with a cookie jar.. She totally tries to send him back with a solid swing of her broom.

COMBATSYS: Ingrid counters Deep Strike from Katana with Sun Upper.

Okay, so maybe Naerose would forget something like that, but it wasn't likely that Ingrid was going to any time soon. After all, how could she forget Jiro finding her and mercilessly beating her into the ground? Or the wonderful introductory fight against Naerose to join the competition in the first place.

Tran shoots off for Naerose at full speed ahead, seemingly itching to go ahead and smash in someone's skull. And meanwhile, the Shogun seems to take offense to her words! Ingrid seems absolutely shocked by his pronouncement. "Why, don't you remember our time in the park?" She shakes her head and pouts marvelously, "I'm so very disappointed in you, Katana. And here I thought you'd learned something important about yourself."

As he barrels down at her with his jitte ready to skewer her Ingrid simply stands still. "I think I'd better give you a reminder." She leans forward and taps the air in front of herself right as he's stabbing, and just before contact a disk of swirling golden energy appears. The weapons stab into it and freeze, along with Katana himself, before she flings her pointing arm into the air and sends the Shogun to the sky, only to have him fall back down to thud on the slate tiles. "Now do you remember?" She asks with a tinge of humor in her voice.

"I know, right? That was terrible." Tran really does seem to feel bad about his heinous misdeeds, even as Naerose seems intent on punishing him for them. Her broom comes into contact with him, far too hard to be comfortable, but it seems the doctor is at least a little prepared. Instead of smacking something tender and vulnerable, it instead strikes the side of Dr. Tran's head. "Ow." The impact makes him stagger a step to the side, but otherwise he seems mostly pretty okay. Ignore the small trickle of blood coming out of his ear, he sure is.

Regardless, this will not stand. "If you put it like that, I'd do it again, given the chance!" Truly, this is an meeting of the totally sane titans, and Dr. Tran, for one, isn't going to mess around. He goes right for the throat! Naerose's throat, that is, with one single, outstretched hand, to swiftly lift her, hold her tight, and then spin around and kick her so hard she forgets what a cookie even is.

Katana doesn't even remember the last time he saw Ingrid. He just knows that she's being certainly irritating now. And as she continues to pout and such, the Shogun's mask is all that responds to her. He does not have facial expressions to rely upon while wearing a mask.

What is the point when you could glare at them with a demon face all that time instead!?

As Ingrid creates a disk of swirling golden energy, weapons stabbing into it before he's launched into the sky only to fall. It hurts, indeed it does. But he gets up rather quickly, even after his body is crushed against terrible ground.

The jitte are raised up once more, the Shogun not even giving a grunt of a response.. BEFOOOOORE.... "JAAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

And leaping through the air with all his strength, Katana brings the bladed weapons again, down towards Ingrid, in an attempt to SKEWER the little girl. "SHOGUN .. STRENGTH!" He doesn't seem to be focusing on dealing with one who happens to seemingly wish to mock him .. HE SHALL LET HIS BLADES DO THE TALKING.

They are wordy and can say everything that ever needs to be said, are fluent in EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE, even the silent ones, and get to the point quickly!

Say, was Tran being mean? Naerose wasn't really sure, she had to consult something smart. Something like say.. Tran!
"Hey, are you totally trying to pull a fast one on me? I mean, I thought you were being fridnly and sorry for totally ruining my cookies or somehting but now I think you may of done all of that on purpose.." She adjusts her shades and considers the likelyhood that Tran would do something like that on purpose. Nah, he's a nice sort. Right?
"Yeah, you wouldn't do that." She conceeds, all the while hopping back and doing it some more like a little faery on speed. Seriously, imagine the gracefulness, mixed with being a total junky and that's what you have. Worse than an alchohalic who totally says they are sober enough to drive. The witch is probably never able to drive. Speaking of, she decides to fling a flurry of icy darts at Tran.

"Totally Sagitta minor. hah."

COMBATSYS: Ingrid dodges Katana's Fierce Strike.

Japan? What is up with this guy! To be sure he's full of ferocity and blazing spirit, but he also seems just a tiiiny bit touched in the head. Ingrid's alright with that, though. She only minds fighting crazy people if they're crazy due to being drugged by SNF staff. Yes, it's happened. Yes, she ran.

The mighty Shogun Strength maneuver heads her way, and this time she just isn't sticking around. One good reversal may be worth another, but the glint in Katana's... mask, is something she just doesn't want anything of right now. And so when he goes to shove his weapons through her she jumps into the air, flying up and over his head and then landing behind him. "I see that wasn't enough to convince you. I suppose you need a second helping."

With that she steps forward towards Katana, raising her arms into the air and then pushing them forward and down, simply intending to release a huge amount of her sparking energy and bathe him in it. Simple; effective.

Ice shards?! Gasp! What a sinister, underhanded blow from Naerose. Although actually, they're really not that bad. Tran holds a hand out to them, and they crash into his palm, quickly become water droplets and then nothing as they dissipate. "Yee, stings." And then onto business, and proper outrage! "I'm not trying to pull shit! That's the kind of thing you would do, if anyone!"

Yessir, Dr. Tran keeps things completely real. One hundred percent legit. He would never, ever do anything underhanded, ever. Especially not hanging back, trying to distract Naerose while he POWERS UP. "Look, seriously though, are you even paying attention? That big guy over is there is totally wasting your partner. She needs your help. Don't mind me, I'll let it slide just this once, because I'm such a nice guy." Could this rambling be a result of the insidious effect of Naerose?!

The Shogun does not even try to move out of the way, instead, charges forth into the sparkling energy. HE doesn't care. HE WILL STAB THIS GIRL THROUGH. It stikes him, but Katana doesn't even bother to stop, charging straight through.

She leaped out of the way, and Katana is just going to do this a DIFFERENT way. By charging forth at her and just planning to stab her again in the face. It's simple and effective.

If he gets close enough, provided it's not too late, he yells out. "DAIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"

And then slams the jitte towards Ingrid's shoulders, and then plans to run her into the ground, charging her, burning her against the ground, before leaping into the air and finishing with a faceplant.

Maybe a flower will grow there, of her face.

Tran isn't attacking? That's like totally an openning, The witch is like, hey maybe he wants to be friends and in the interst of being a good friend and stuff she decides to be a good friend and good friends love each other so she tries to give Tran a hug, Flinging herself toawrd Tran and shouting,
"I knew you were good!" All sorts of love and stuff. Weel.. sort of.

And that's when things stop being amazingly perfect for Ingrid. Oh, come on, you had to know it was coming. The fact that he charges straight through her attack is what gives him the advantage here, even if it's going to slow him down a bit. The blonde raises up her arms to deflect the weapons... only to find them pinning her rather than skewering her. And guess what? That makes blocking them with her arms utterly useless.

She's shoved to the ground, and then he finishes it off by jamming his weapons into her. Though it hurts like hell she's not going to show it, her iron will resisting to give in. And now she's on the ground, and Katana's right over her. Not Good. But luckily there is one thing she can do. And of course it involves golden energy. She flips her hand up and energy trails after it, but more importantly a shining ball of gold appears and heads straight for the Shogun.

COMBATSYS: Naerose successfully hits Tran with Glomp.

"Hwugh!?" Operation cunning ruse: failed. Tran should have known better. This is Naerose. She never, ever does what you want her to do, no matter what you do. She is like the eternal wrench in the works, and now she is tackling and hugging him. It hurts, but it's not that bad, at first...until Tran feels a sense of horror welling up deep inside him. It's an inky black, unknowable despair that drives men mad - it's like coming face to face with Cthulu himself.

So Dr. Tran does the only thing he can. He panics. "Get off get off get off GET OFF GET OFF AAAAAGH" It's like he transforms into a solid mass of writhing, lashing limbs, trying like hell to get Naerose off of him through the direct application of unfocused violence.

As Ingrid gets up finally, launching a golden ball towards him, Katana doesn't even move an inch, bringing up his gauntlets and raising them infront of his face, holding them up as the shining ball races towards him. He will attempt to prevent it from CONNECTING AT ALL.

Well, it'll hurt but still, less than if it struck head on.

But then afterwards, Katana simply sits there, not moving at all, looking up Ingrid, eyes forwards, facing the girl, blades pointing towards the girl but .. NONE MOVING.

Clearly, he's waiting for her to make the first move.. Or second as it was.

HO HO HAHAHAHA.

YEAH LIKE THAT.

And it totally works, the witch is flung off like such old laundry and that's like, oh man? Not very loving is it. She thinks for a moment, juts out her lip and peer peers at Tran as if he was contemplating further meanness.

"You know what? For a doctor you don't really do a good job seeing to the well being of your patients and what is with your theme? American hero? You're not a doctor you're JI Joe! With like kung fu grip and .. er.. massaging? Okay you know what? You're weird! Eat flame!" Cries the witch and looks really intents and serious. . .

She composes.

"Just kidding, man this is kind of fun huh Tran, wanna go get some Pizza afterwards, or ooh I know, ice cream!"

Ingrid smiles impishly at Katana as he raises his arms and stops the ball of Psi. Good enough. While he's protecting herself she suddenly curls up and begins rolling quickly backwards, escaping from him and getting to a nice, long distance from him. Like heck she's going to give him the ability to stab and slash at her without even needing to step forward! Her last rotation rolls her right back up to her feet, and a hand comes up to her hair to twirl it around her finger.

"You know, Katana, you're a very powerful man. I must admit, I'm impressed. You're very well versed with your weapons, and you certainly have the strength to use them properly. So I have to wonder what a man like you is doing in Metro City when you could be using your power for the greater glory of Japan?" What exactly is she getting on about? Who knows! But while she's talking she's turning this into a snoozefest for the fans, and making sure he doesn't run her over with a truck. Yea, it's coming. She can /feel/ it.

Shh, shh, shh. Can you hear that? That's the sound of the neurons in Tran's brain, each one of them tiny and adorable and filled with life. Aren't they just the happiest little things? And then they get the order to process what Naerose is saying. And they try, oh how they try.

Are you still listening? Now they're screaming. THEY ARE SCREAMING AND BEGGING FOR MERCY, NAEROSE, AND IT IS YOUR FAULT.

"I...ggk!" It's too little sense. It's madness, insanity! UTTER ENTROPY. Dr. Tran begins to twitch and mutter under his breath, steam rising off of his body, a broken man.

As Ingrid speaks to him, Katana simply looks upon the girl. He just stares at Ingrid. He does not move. He does not take any time. He just seems to be looking upon Ingrid. There is no motion made by the man to make it seem like he is planning anything.

He merely waits, endlessly looking upon Ingrid.

She may speak all she wishes.. but Katana is not making a single move. None. NOT ANY AT ALL.

Girls vs boys. Who will win. Typically you think, girls are nice and they are sweet and totally would never hit a person while they were down, but then you have to take into consideration, wait a moment, this isn't just any girl, this is Naerose, and she's not even a girl, she's a woman and she's totally like huh.

"Well ahh. Okay, so I wonder if he's okay. She makes her way closer to Tran. Closer.. Closer.. closer. She gets the feeling he's totally inviting her to do something.

"Hey, you knnow why I'm here right Doctor Tran? The food." She nods a few times. This is awkward.
"Look up. I'm sorry, but I don't think it's going to work out between us, so .. this is goodbye!"

The witch winds up and aims a kick at Tran's shin before turning and trying to run off.

Hmm. Ingrid wasn't expecting Katana to just stand there. Not responding to her verbally? Acceptable. Not responding to her physically? His loss. Her amused expression grows. "Neko got your tongue? Well, I guess you might not want to talk about that." The utter lack of HONK HONK surprises her. She's seen some of the footage of this guys fights. He got that thing to jump at /Big Ben/, there's little doubt in her mind he could get it into Howard Area.

But if he's just going to stand there, she'll take the initiative after all. A blinding flash of light surrounds her, and her hands come up to her chin. A dull, small sphere of energy forms there and she smiles to him before blowing on it, sending the orb floating towards him in the most innocent manner possible.

Initiating body and sanity defense measures. Dr. Tran, aware that Naerose is in front of him, talking to him, suddenly becomes completely deaf. He is blessedly free to concentrate on her attack, responding by moving his leg back slightly to soften the impact of Naerose's foot on his shin. Convenient, but it's still not enough somehow.

"What? I can't hear what you're saying." And then Naerose is running away, so...There's really only one thing to do. Whirling about, looking at the showdown between Katana and Ingrid, Tran bravely charges forward into battle, away from Naerose, fist glowing with an awesome power!

Mind, it's not actually glowing, it just looks like that because of the massive build-up of steam around his hands. One comes screaming in as part of a deadly, explosive uppercut, and the next comes crashing across to seal the deal, the old one-two punch except with explosions that are totally kickin' rad!

The witch totally ran away and was before long totally alone on one side of the arena. How did she know she was alone? Without looking back? Well.. namely. . The spot light! It wasn't on her any more. Afterall, you have a team of two on twos and on one side stands a witch and on the other side, everyone else totally fighting. So who is gonna be the one that the spot lights linger on? Ingrid and the two fellas. The witch looks around. She spots a garbage receptacle. She peers into it.

"Hey, you shouldn't throw these thigns away."

Naerose reaches into the trashcan, pulls out a popcorn bag, marked free refills on the side. She glances up at the stands toward a popcorn vendor and does a running jump to the railing. The security staff are totally like 'not again' and comes at her >:|, but she's too fast for them. ... Or not. The witch is cast unceremoniously back into the arena on her backside, but not before nabbing some more popcorn to watch Ingrid fight with.

"Go.. umm. .. little girl-chan! You can totally do it.. Um um um this is good."

Naerose sits and watches the fight, apparently enjoying herself

Oh bad. Oh bad, bad, bad, bad. Though she had been focusing mainly on Katana, here comes Dr.Tran. But he's not alone, because he's got a friend in the Shogun. Katana is crazy, he's rushing towards her and trying to stab the everloving crap out of her with his jitte. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately in this case, he is not the main threat. No, the threat is Dr.Tran, who's undeniable power is headed straight for her in the form of a big steaming fistful of pain that's going to absolutely annihilate her.

She takes one for the team. ...well, for herself, anyway. The jitte stab into her, and she grits her teeth. It is not often you find Ingrid using an attack to her advantage by allowing it to hit. She gets hurt very badly when that happens, and this is no exception. But the force of the stabs as Katana rushes forwards shoves her back, away from Tran. It gives her time. Time she needs to collect her power. Time she needs to calculate the exact location between steam and fist.

Time she uses perfectly. A brilliant surge of energy comes forth, shining about her. She leans forward, a weapon still jabbing into her, and points towards Tran. A little triangle of energy forms, and in front of it is a huge massive swirling disk of psychic power. The steam is nearly to Ingrid, but the fist is enveloped- Ingrid is safe.

The disk engulfs Tran and assaults him, lifting him high up into the air as the crowd watches on, Ingrid leaning back, removing the weapon from herself in doing so, and gives Dr.Tran a teasing salute, along with an amused smile.

He drops, her arms raise up for one last burst of energy. He falls even with her and her arms extend, a massive symbol flaring to life around him, the Symbol of the Eternal Goddess. And then, finally, he smacks into the slate tiles.

Ingrid turns to Naerose, flipping her hair, "Okay, your turn!" Somehow, her voice manages to go up an octave as she says it, sounding insultingly peppy and cheerful.

As they say in the biz: "HRGF!" Well, it's not something you say, per say, but more something you grunt as horrible psychic energies bombard every fiber of his being. Repeatedly. And the worst part? The very worst part of all of this?

She is so infuriatingly /smug/ about it. Even though every part of him aches after that, Tran is up almost instantly, one fist pounding the stone underneath so hard it cracks, propelling him upward. And then he walks toward Ingrid, steam sheathing him from head to toe. He's not walking slowly, in fact he's walking quite swiftly, every step full of violent purpose. And just as he comes within arm's reach of her, his fist snaps out, nothing more than a quick shot to the forehead. "Surprise."

HAHAHAH! She has been STABBED. STABBED she has BEEN.

It's well enough for Katana at least.. and instead, Katana , after Tran gets done with whatever, rushes straight towards Ingrid... and attempts to hook onto her with his jitte once more. "I was planning something WORSE... but I .. SHALL SETTLE... FOR THIS."

And dashing towards Ingrid, Katana attempts to make this just .. END.

"TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"

He dashes forwards, jitte intent on hooking onto the girl, and then slamming her into the ground. It's incredibly quick, and the Shogun is planning to just remove her for existence.

"CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" RUNNING AND CHARGING ACROSS THE STAGE, INGRID IS GOING TO BE DRAGGED AS FAR AS HE CAN GO.

"SAATTTSUUUUUUUUU!" And then launched upwards, blades slashing into her, juggling her until he tries to POWERBOMB her into the ground.

"THE SHOGUN SHALL DEFEAT YOU, AND THAT SHALL BE THAT."

While the shouting does reach the dark part of the arena floor where the witch sits on her backside, the spotlight is still not on her to illuminate her redness, or her laziness, it REALLY doesn't illuminate her laziness and by that I mean she is doing NOTHING just sitting there and doing nothing and while sitting there and doing nothing she is, EATING POPCORN. And Ingrid is doing her attacking and then something occurs to the witch. A thought process works like this, hey I could totally help, without helping..? She thinks about this for a moment while the battle rages. Reaching into her popcorn bag she is like mmm crunch crunch.

. . . . *crunch*

"This is really good. Oh hey, nice hit!" she cheers some and then realizes oh yeah, helping.

"Here little girl-chan, there is totally a lot of horse power in this so be careful!"

The witch sends her broom at Ingrid, something between a chuck and a chi inspired missile. It might be good enough for a brief burst of added speed should Ingrid actually not get hit by it and say grab on to send her barreling toward opponent A (whichever that happens to be. If not well.. )

The witch, broomless, eats more popcorn.

"Man, I sure hope that fight doesn't come this way." she comments, having just given her weapons to her 'teammate'

Ok. So Naerose isn't going to tag in and take the heat from Tran and Katana. Well, it was worth a shot, wasn't it? But hey, there it comes- the broom that will be her salvation.

Going along with it, Ingrid hops up and reaches out for that broom, which has been given a massive toss by Naerose the Red Witch. She latches onto it expecting it to jerk her out of the way of Tran's forehead bonk! The muffled sound of wooden handle smacking into a gloved hand and holding solid is heard... and the broom is now held by Ingrid.

Thonk! Her head snaps back as a steam empowered fist bops her not-too-kindly in the head. She then whirls towards Katana who is- uh oh. Time to turtle! Ingrid hunkers down /low/ kneeling one knee to the slate and tapping the air in front of her. But oh! Oh! In an ironic twist of fate the jitte go /over/ the disk and stab into her, rendering the thing inert as Katana digs his weapons into her and grinds her into the floor. But it's not over! She's flung upwards and slashed to pieces, her clothing becoming ragged and missing large swaths. And then, finally, she's stabbed once more and then slammed into the ground with explosive force, the slate shattering to reveal the harder granite below, spiderweb cracks found throughout.

"Tag...out..." Ingrid says, to Naerose but mainly to herself. And the broom? It's the most helpful thing ever, it's bristles covering her petticoat due to an up flipped skirt.

And Tran finds that's he's neatly set Katana up, somehow kinda. Whatever. He punched Ingrid right in the head, which is fine, and now she's down thanks to Katana pretty much flipping the hell out. But it's not done yet. Things aren't over.

Slowly, Tran turns toward Naerose, eyes blazing with an inner fire. +

And then the doctor charges directly at the witch, screaming at the top of his lungs, before leaping into the air to deliver a super steam-powered dropkick. HARDCORE.

With Naerose just there, Katana watches as Ingrid attempts to prevent him .. AGAIN. "Not .. THIS. TIIIIIIIIME!" The Shogun breaks through the wall, slamming into Ingrid.. and then stopping, breathing heavily.. YES. Katana has defeated the little girl. THE LITTLE GIRL HAS BEEN BESTED. Does Katana feel GOOD about beating the little girl?

WHY YES, YES HE DOES. That's just the way criminals roll.

And then turning to Naerose.. Katana half heartedly strolls over to the with and then pokes her with his blades.

"I GUESS WE MUST FIGHT NOW, WITCH... NAEROSE... BUDDY."

STAB... More like poke actually.

Naerose like totally knows when it is time to get the heck out of the way of something coming her way and that time is NOW. So she's like okay, time to go. She gives a significantly big wink and then sprays, yes SPRAYS from her mouth all the popcorn. I mean ALL Of the popcorn while getting out of the way of Tran. The popcorn is what you might call a 'smoke screen' only of totally chewed up popcorn. It hangs in the air like snow and the witch just gets the hell out of there. Then there is Katana, but with no broom, all Naerose can do is block with her forearm, which hurts. Meanwhile she decides to bowl right through Katana, flinging those darts of chi at him while trying to do a sliiide under him toward her broom.

With witch totally naps it from Ingrid's fallen form with a grin of self confidence and fixes her shades.

"Oh that was Sagitta Minor! And lets all be friends!" She winks with the winning smile.

Popcorn...everywhere. It's like a beautiful shower of blossoms, except it's totally gross because it's popcorn and Naerose just spewed it out like some kind of reverse shop-vac. "ENOUGH!" Tran's steamy aura flares, blowing the assorted bits away from him in a flurry of corn.

"Friends don't let friends talk! Not anymore! Not ever!" And then Tran is running at Naerose again, hand extended to just...just straight up grab her face and then explode it in a steamy chi bonanza.

Katana lays on the ground, chi burning through his body. Why must it all HURT SO MUCH. But he rises once more, shaking himself off, bleeding, but still up. The large man looks at Naerose, then to Tran, then Naerose.. and then LEAPS AT NAEROSE AS FAST AS HE CAN, aiming to GRAB HER AND SLAM HER INTO THE GROUUUUUUUND.

"BUTSUMUUUU .. BUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The witch totally is grabbing for her broom, actually she grabbed it last pose, but the moment of power from the pair of fighters coming her way just totally makes her go likee woah. Then Katana is on her and Tran coming soon after, she's so shocked she DROPS HER BROOM. Then she's like, Oh shiznits. That's totally my weapon!

"Must get broom.." She says, reaching and reaching and .. she just can't get it. It is at that time though that the little Smash Bros. circular sphere of doom appears under her. Actually it's all in her head, but the bottom line is that while Katana smashes her against the ground it's clearly making her unhappy as the witch is totally glowing with the pent up energy.

"I totally gotta go.. ! I can't hold it any longer!" Naerose cries, her voice booming in that way that you know something is going to happen and when Katana is done with her she's left with Tran, except.. EXCEPT .. she's still glowing .. and then, her hands outstretched as Tran grabs her, something happens, the witch lets herself get grabbed..

"EN Criento EN!" the witch cries and then unleashes both barrels. It's like a whirlwind of chi power that explodes out of her totally Dragon ball Z style, which will probably result in launching Tran no small distance someplace else, the while swirling torrent of destructive chi, seriously? Came from Naerose? She's even surprised herself as after she's done she practically falls on her backside.

"Oh hey, my broom!" she says cheerfully and picks it back up.

Once again, Dr. Tran pretty much just eats it. Mad with fury, mad with madness, he really isn't at all prepared when Naerose blows him away. "Hraaaaaaaaaaaagh!" The impact of it sends him flying backwards, windmilling. Evidently, it's not just for show, because when the blast finally subsides, Dr. Tran is on his feet, staring bloody murder at Naerose. "You...I...grrk!"

And then that's it - the time for Dr. Tran's last hurrah approaches swiftly, as he unsteadily flings himself forward again, both fists coated in thick, dense steam, ready to pound the bejesus out of Naerose with a powerful uppercut and a powerfuller cross. But then that's it - it's all she wrote for the doc.

Woah, Tran is PISSED OFF. Naerose is totally not going to let him get too close to her right now cause she's never really seen him this angry. The witch totally gets on her broom stick and jets off a short distance, like.. five feet, crashes, rolls the rest of the way and somehow SOMEHOW manages to stay away from him. Damned good thing Katana is too busy taking a moment to breath cause she's not about to have a lot of offense to give. When she straightens by the way and is totally like I meant to do that, she even says,

"I meant to do that.. Oh right pizza, about that.. Have you ever been to Pizzeria Uno? It's totally choice!" Yes that's right folks, Pizzeria Uno in Chicago Illinois receives the Naerose Delphine seal of approval. Meanwhile

Instead of attacking the witch fixes her shades and smiles, smiles big at Katana.

And stupid as hell.

As Naerose asks about Pizzeria Uno, Katana shakes his head. "I have ... NOT. Yet. But I believe, In time, I SHALL. Especially with us heading there soon!" The Shogun remarks. "But until then, Naerose.. I SHALL GIVE YOU MY BEST. SHAAAAAAAAA!" He calls out, charging a Naerose as ever there was a Naerose to charge! .. And with the jitte out, it looks like he's planning to drive them .. STRAIGHT INTO HER.

Planning is for LOSERS.

Woah, she doesn't like the sound of that. Naerose is like all about ready to say 'no, that's alright,' and even starts to before Katana BRINGS ABOUT HIS STRONGEST bLOW. and she brings her broom up and wonders why that period is there in the middle of the sentence before it comes on her at full force and she grits her teeth with a wince of pain, buckling a bit then finally regaining enough of herself to move aside a bit, having dropped to her knee and having felt all sorts of pain she didn't feel like feeling.

"Woah! Get away!" she cries and does a quick swing with her broom to knock Katana back even minutely and give her some wiggle room. She's not asking much here!

As Naerose bats at Katana, the broom brought upwards, the Shogun attempts to grab it, trying to heft Naerose and then launch her away! But this fails to happen, as he instead gets BONKED right in the face, staggering backwards as she strikes him! Ow!

That hurt :(.

But in the end, Katana is pushed back. "Hahah! So you still have some fight left... GOOD! We are not done!" OR ARE THEY

This is hardly a fight as far as Naerose is concerned, more like a game of keep away. Katana maybe proud and tall, but she's flailing like a drunken .. drunk. Sort of like screetch, holding a hand in her face protectively while using the other to swing at her opponent, except she's not actually doing that, just well you know. Anyway.. When she finds her near blind attempt at a bonk succeeded (in keeping her alive) the witch is like.. huh.

"Wait a moment.. wait a minute.. Nevermind, En Criento! I want pizza!"

And the witch flings out her palm and unleashes a mini torrent of energy like a can or whoop backside tornado-ness at Katana in hopes that she could end this and maybe convince someone to put the pizza on their tab too.

She hadn't quite worked out how to do the last part.

"Hahahha! .. Yes .. let us get pizza... BUT FIRST."

And then he slams towards Naerose, wounds all over, his blades flashing. "SHOGUNN STRIKKE FIEEEERCE!"

AFTER SLASHING THROUGH, he falls to his knees.. IS THIS THE END OF THE SHOGUN!?

"Right Pizza."

Meanwhile the announcer is in stunned silence. Is it a SNF first that Naerose didn't lose? No. It's:

"AND THE WINNER IS: INGRID HOLMANN. What a creative tactic folks, she used some wacko nut job from the street as a random weapon at the end of the round, lets all give a cheer to her!"

Meanwhile the witch totally tries to help Katana up, half heartedly, she needs him afterall, she can't afford to pay for her own pizza.

Is helped up, and drags Tran along. "Hey doc... pizzzaaaaa. We shall .. get .. pizza. FOR THE .. JAPANCHOVIES. I WANT MY PIZZA WITH JAPANCHOVIES AND SUSHI." He mumbles.
