Description: Oswald dislikes Metro city, and soon he learns that there's even more to dislike than he previously thought as the Neo League fight against Katana has a strange and disgusting twist to it. ( Winner: Oswald )
METRO CITY. It's a dirty place filled with dirty people and even dirtier food!
Except Uptown. WELL BEFORE UPTOWN FELL TO MAD GEAR. Currently, the grocery store is where the fight shall go. But no, not anywhere normal. They will be fighting.
ON MEAT.
Katana doesn't have a problem with this. The thugs have taken massive amount of distateful, expensive, old meat and laid them about in an arena like style. And the fight shall happen between this display! A mask over his head, like normal, Katana stands uncaring about the meaty surroundings. HE HAS COME FOR BATTLE AGAINST A WARRIOR and he shall have it.
Because he is of the MIGHT and the MIGHT is RIGHT.
And junk.
Sandaled, huge, hulking.. Katana.. SHALL FIGHT TO THE END AGAINST WHATEVER OPPONENT WILL COME. And there just might be a truck too. You can never be too sure about that.
Metro city, it's been years since Oswald had been here, few good memories associated with it. There's some disdain when the news of the fight's location found him, and upon arriving to the actual store itself... what was that smell?
"...for the love of... cannot be serious." Oswald mumbles to himself as he first stays out of the store, taking his jacket and tie off and tossing it to the League fight staff along with the more expensive of his accessories, there was no way he was going to soil those in such an arena. Momentary trepidation set aside, Oswald approaches once again as the automatic doors hiss open. Inside, the clerk is understandably nervous given the fact that Katana is standing so tall, and the goons have made quick work of the store for the arena.
"Alright Katana." He states briskly as the elder man brings his hands up to slick his hair back nice and proper before stepping into the ring and falling into a loose ready stance, "Let's get this over with quickly."
COMBATSYS: Oswald has started a fight here.

As Oswald enters the ARENA OF MEAT, Katana looks towards him. "Hahahah! .. Yes, you will be ROUTED by my strength.. I shall show you what it is to be FROM JAPAN, AS WELL AS MY MIGHT!" His jitte are held in meat hands, almost a mockery, but the large american/japanese man stands tall, large, and ANGRY.
"This arena is just the smell of this city as I aim to clean it up, to change it for the better! SO please... PARDON MY DUST. And smell. AND ROTTING MEAT!" He exclaims, thrusting his hands to the air, as he falls back a slight bit.
"For there will only be .. DEFEAT FOR YOU TODAY, IN THIS MEAT!" The Shogun poses, pointing both weapons towards Oswald, and then posing .. ONCE MORE, taking out a fan and fanning himself. "I have fought so many warriors.. you shall just be another one to fall before me!"
What the heck was this guy ON?
Oswald knew little about Katana, despite the fact that he had a notorious name as of late for trouble being caused in the city itself, which gives him enough pause to refuse giving an assessment of his opponent so soon. There was no way to read how he himself fared in experience or skill in comparison to the Jitte weilding ... ninja? A hand comes up and gives a thumbing stroke to his nose, the smell really was rather rank.
GOD he hated this city.
"Well." He cranes his head to one side and then the other as both arms come up, fingers staying loose rather than form fists, preferring to stay put and simply take this experience in for the moment, "If I am to fall, then I plan to make you work for your victory."
COMBATSYS: Katana has joined the fight here.

As Oswald just simply stares at him, Katana glares back.. through the mask. YOU CAN FEEL IT. And then, Oswald cranes his head to one side, Katana watching as he simply stands there. What is this sorcery. "All of you cowards! COWARDS. CONTENT TO HIDE BEHIND YOUR ... SOMETHING!" Katana exclaims, somewhat stupid, as he charges forth like a RHINO.
The sandals slams forwards, running at Oswald, moving forwards, trampling over the tile as Oswald just sat there, staying content and in place with his his SMUG ATTITUDE AND CARDS AND FACE.
"KAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-" He yells, drawing back both jitte, slamming them towards Oswalds Chest.
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
COMBATSYS: Katana successfully hits Oswald with Deep Strike.

Oswald 0/-------/=======|=------\-------\0 Katana
Like a Rhino? Oswald's countenance sours at the continued outbursts, standing rather still as Katana comes charging in with the 'god's wind'. A suicide attack on the first go? Oswald takes it full force.
His back leg plants down and he literally drives his body into the strike, weathering the blow with a hard, and pained groan, allowing the strike to let his knee buckle just enough to lower his stance. His whole body tenses as his left arm sides over the thrusting jitte, still impaled in his body as he gives a sudden twist away, with a spray of blood, doing a full 360, but going in low and down - trying to get into Katana's defense to let the momentum throw him into a brief corkscrew strike, punctuated by the slashes of bladed cards.
COMBATSYS: Katana blocks Oswald's Ace.

Oswald 0/-------/-======|==-----\-------\0 Katana
You would never think that he would be versed within it, would you? No. Probably could. As Katana crashes into Oswald, his body driven into the strike.. the jitte slam into Oswalds body.. and Hahah! SUCCESS! The Shogun is overjoyed. Oh wait what is he doing with th-
AAAAAH CARDS CARDS ARE COMING TOWARDS HIS BODY.
And then meet the armor on his arm, slamming against it, the Shogun's gauntlets preventing most of the force from the strike. "Hahaha... You are strong yes.." It looked like even if Oswald tried, through trickery.. the Shogun came out on top .. FOR NOW.
"BUT YOU CANNOT DEAL WITH THE MIGHT OF JAPAN!" He exclaims, once again, sliding the jitte out of Oswald.. and then bumrushing him! Blades flash in the air, the jitte this time going for his sides, aiming to slam two heavy strikes into his body.. they're faster than before though. Much faster.. still heavy!
"FOR JAPAN CHIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
COMBATSYS: Oswald blocks Katana's Fierce Strike.

Oswald 0/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0 Katana
Arms matched with arms, as Oswald deflects the brunt of the attack with his forearms, well braced for the impact this time and while they do leave a bruising shot, the damage is thankfully negligible.
"Loud." He mutters to himself as the yelling brute seems to be more interested in bowling over his opponent rather than use finesse, and Oswald is rather fine with that as he reaches up with one arm to try and loop over Katana's shoulders, aiming to give him a hip throw into a display case, back first.
COMBATSYS: Katana fails to counter Strong Throw from Oswald with Shiraha Catch.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Oswald 1/-------/=======|======-\-------\0 Katana
As Oswald immediately reaches up with one arm, looping over his shoulders, Katana attempts to grab it, but he cannot grab the grabbing arm that is grabbing his grab!
GRABDAGNIT.
And then he's tossed into the display case, and the Shogun slams into it, rebounding, getting back to his feet and then staggering up, holding both Jitte.. with meat on his head, impaled by the helmet.
"You .. SHALL SEE MY TRUE POWER NOW!"
OH GOD TRANSFORMATION!?
There's a sneer on Oswald's lips as Katana gets back up, one eye narrowing more than the other. It's uncertain if there's disdsain for Katana in particular or if the smell itself was getting to him, but whatever the case the gambler was clearly issuing distaste for /something/ or other.
Then comes the proclomation of Katana as he screams about true power. If he was holding back so far, Oswald would have none of it, as he sets his foot down solid and gives a quick swipe and twist of wrist toward Katana where he now stands triumphant, flicking the card held in fingers his way.
COMBATSYS: Oswald successfully hits Katana with Queen.

Oswald 1/-----==/=======|=======\=------\1 Katana
And then as Oswald flicks the card at him. It penetrates his armor. IT FREAKING PENETRATES HIS ARMOR.
The Shogun is surprised, and angry, and wants .. TO KILL. Or at least one could say that. Charging straight at the card, he doesn't try going around it. He doesn't try doing anything but charging. "HAH! A card .. HOW COULD SUCH THINGS-" Stab. "RAAARGH!" The Shogun yells out, staggering back before MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME, charging forth like some kind of train, late.
"YOU ARE DONE HERE!"
"DAIYKOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" He slams his jitte for Oswald's shoulders, attempting to drive him into the ground. AND THEN AIMS TO CHARGE HIM AGAINST THE MEAT. And then as he charges, near the end, leap into the air. AND THEN PILEDRIVE HIM, FACE FIRST, INTO MEAT. "BURRRRRNING!"
COMBATSYS: Katana successfully hits Oswald with Daikyou Burning.

Oswald 1/---====/=======|=======\==-----\1 Katana
And Oswald finally has his meet with the meat. Oswald is not a happy camper. He's slow to get up from the piledrive, the disgusting stuff is in his hair, on his clothes, and as he rises he looks like he could set the very city on fire with his gaze. "Son of a..." He growls low and slow, stepping on his own glasses with a crunch as he finally gets up, "...Was all that... really... /NECESSARY/?" Not the attack - no, the attack was indeed necessary, this is a League match, but this... the meat... this... chicanery.
He positively seethes, but in spite of his rage, he suddenly calms, eyes closing for a moment as he gathers his thoughts.
COMBATSYS: Oswald gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////// ]
Oswald 1/----===/=======|=======\==-----\1 Katana
As Oswald is SLAMMED INTO THE MEAT, Katana stares at Oswald for a long time. He stares. And then stares. AND THEN STARES. And in the end, after the growl and all.. Katana responds with a simple. "Yes."
And then immediately crashes towards him, jitte up. One might not fully understand Katana all the way through, nor would they have to.. because Katana is a simple man. A simple WEEABOO man. If he is on the offensive? He doesn't stop. Ever.
"JIGOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! SCRAPE!" He suddenly rips across the ground, blades whipping upwards in an attempt to rip across Oswald's chest, one slash, then another, as he slides across the ground.
"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
COMBATSYS: Katana successfully hits Oswald with Jigoku Scrape.
- Power hit! -

Oswald 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\====---\1 Katana
The blades tear through just before Oswald has the time to open his eyes and mount a defensive - a gross miscalculation on his part which almost costs him his footing as the strike lands true, and deep.
With the two strikes, Oswald rolls back along with the blows, creating ample space as it's from the roll that he unleashes a brief flurry of cards, as a vertible arc-wind of five cards flare out in each their own direction, picking and choosing their proper vectors to find Katana's body.
COMBATSYS: Oswald successfully hits Katana with Royal Flush.

Oswald 1/-------/=======|=======\======-\1 Katana
And then Oswald rolls back, sending a brief flurry of cards, veritable arc-winds of five of them, flaring them towards Katana, vector's slamming into him. He had tried to prevent the worst. He prevented it. But it still hurts. Alot. The Shogun looks upon Oswald, filled with cards in his body, before stopping, staggering backwards... and grinning. "Hahhaa... THE SHOGUN HAS EMERGED VICTORIOUS THIS DAY!" He cries out, before twirling his jitte once... and then having them suddenly slide from his hands, slamming into chunks of meat.
Bleeding, the SHogun turns to look at them, and blinks. "... Uh one moment!" He exclaims, wrenching them from the dead cow chunk, and falling onto his back.. "ONE MORE MOMENT."
And then, with a steak hanging from the jitte, and a few from his points of armor.. Katana is MEATY.. and also able to look upon Oswald.. grinning behind the mask.
"It really is .. THE END!"
And then he poses.
COMBATSYS: Katana focuses on his next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////// ]
Oswald 1/-------/=======|=======\======-\1 Katana
Pose or not, Oswald was not going to have any of this. He's already on the warpath back toward Katana as he's going about his shennanigans, shaking his head briskly at this now obvious lack of respect being shown. "I don't appreciate your candor." are the only words he speaks as the dark aura starts to flit about his wrists, before his entire body becomes a discolored blur... speed suddenly increasing....

The rush of monochrome Oswalds becomes fluid, almost entrancing as the Gambler uses his obfuscuation aura to bewilder just long enough to heft Katana up in a very brief throw, tossing him back-first just enough to make him bump up against the glass doors of the drink cases... but it's only buying time before the inevitable storm takes place, a hail of cards, that sends fragments of glass and chipped metals all over from the doors of the case, much to the clerk's screams imploring the damage to stop.
Well timed, for just as the screams start, Oswald finishes, with one final card left in his hand, the joker-and-marquee, which he simply lets fall to the ground....
Katana charges with a roar, japan flies with him. But then what happens is expected. The hail of cards slam into him, and the Shogun is choked as he's struck against the wall. In the end, the blades fill his armor and flesh, and the Shogun collapses to the ground, unable to continue fighting.
Japan's greatest warrior has fallen.
The island of Japan sinks.
The spirits weep.
If only in Katana's head as he joins the meat with h is own body.
COMBATSYS: Oswald has ended the fight here.
Oswald ususally shows a better repore for his opponents, but there's no such thing this time. Instead, in a rather uncharacteristic display of near barbarism, he places his foot on one of the broken panels of glass that made the cooler doors, thrusting into it to cause it to shatter, plucking a large bottle of water from it.
Then he turns and starts making his way out of the store, seal opened as he drops a few smelly bills upon the counter, he steps out into the parking lot and empties the bottle upon his head. As the League staff approach, he simply asks, "You guys have a shower back there." One of the attendants gives a short nod, much to Oswald's delight... as he steps away to clean the stench of the fight from his body.
