Description: On the hot coals, who's hotter!? Choi and Dr. Tran take on the dolls in a long drawn out fight, despite the hot coals.. and in the end, it seems the dolls are the ones who's the hottest! Watch for the spills, thrills, and synchronized spin drives! < WINNERS: Decapre and Aprile >
The Meenakshi Amman Temple is a beautiful sight. Located in Madurai in southern India, this holy was the scene of an Saturday Night Fight. Some could argue about the fact that international corporations are exploiting priceless religious sites for cheap gimmicky fights. Others could argue that most people would not know about the Meenakshi Temple, and this was a great chance to open them up to new cultures. Others would wonder why the hell the scene isn't being set, and a paragraph is being wasted with internal monologues only experienced by the RPers, not the actual characters.
In any case, the fight was in the heart of the temple, in a place known as the Aayiram Kaal Mandapam, or Thousand Pillar Hall. Filled with ornate carved stone pillars and low burning coals, the whole place was heavy with heat. It was a dangerous fight, and exciting too. Short of the cameras, there would be no way out except for giving up, willingly or otherwise. If anyone surrendered, or stopped moving, there would be a team of emergency works ready and willing to leap on the scene. After they unlock the one of the two doors, of course.
Choi was nervously standing on a cold marble slab shoved from underneath one of the doors. It was just big enough for two people. There was one for each pairing. Hopefully, Tran wasn't that overweight. Choi nervously looked at his partner, and then across to his female enemies. Skintight suits. God, SNF Executives must love him. And nurse and a kinky mask girl. Yes. Reemphasize the point. SNF Executives must adore him. The Korean edges over to his partner-for-night, and gives him a gentle elbow. "Hey. Buddy boy. Gogo boots or cat claws? I'll let you pick first."
Dr. Tran, though a tall, handsome, one might say 'larger-than-life' hero of the people, isn't fat at all. In fact, he's kind of on the skinny side. It's kind of hard to say, especially since he's also pretty short (thankfully not at Choi's level, though, maybe in a couple of different ways).
But that is neither here nor there, because Dr. Tran is feeling pensive. A look of heavy thought is on his face as he considers the room, Choi, and their opponents. When Choi asks his question, Dr. Tran turns his head slowly, bringing a mirthless gaze directly to bear. You can almost hear the sound of his brain grinding, trying desperately to process the question.
"God, tell me you're joking. They're, what, like, 16? No, no, actually, don't answer that, I don't want to know." Shaking his head sadly, Tran just looks back across the room at the dolls. "Thank god this'll be over quickly, one way or another."
The December Doll wasn't so much nervous, as she was curious. She still can't figure out whether or not they're supposed to remove any footwear before stepping out onto the hot coals to begin the match. The added pain of doing this barefoot doesn't worry her, but well, her feet aren't exactly a pretty sight. They're already blackened from frostbite, and due to the brainwashing she can't remember exactly how that happened but what matters is that they're already gross and being singed in a firepit is likely to make them look even worse!
And so, unless an announcer tries to stop her, Decapre will be keeping her boots on, thanks. And that goes for the rest of her clothing, too, no matter how hot it gets in here. She's scarred pretty much everywhere but that small place on the back of her doll uniform where the skin always shows, and is thus more than a little self-conscious about baring any other part of herself.
"Aprile, I don't want to see you holding back this time. The situation is such that we've no time for acts of mercy." the blonde warns, speaking from behind that dark mask with a heavy Russian accent, eyes glowing their usual unearthly red.
Not dressed in any clothing .. to attempt to hide or anything like that, the nurse has forgone the nurse clothing. Gone are the white dress with easy to see under skirt, gone are the rather form fitting, tight clothing that would restrict her, and gone are the lies.
Instead, a woman in a yellow tie, blue skintight spandex on her legs and arms, and heavy sweater like vest over her torso, much like a bathing suit over clothes is paired with red arm guards and boots, the gauntlets completely spanning half of her arm, and fist.
Oh, and she has her medical instruments still.
Skipping down the hall, she moved with Decapre, looking to her. She steps out beside Decapre, smiling as the burning coals rake into her feet.. which do indeed burn, even through the boots she has.
"Oh.. no.. I don't hold back anymore Decapre. don't worry, okay?" She responds, smiling bright and wide, waving it off, the doll taking her position onto the coals.. it's only burning now. Later, it'll scorch!
Her back also has the open circle, bit it's hardly important at this point. "Oh.. Hi Dr. Tran!" She recognizes him. "Glad to see you're feeling better.. maybe it'll stay that way!" MAYBE.
Choi looks really hurt by that last statement, Tran. "What is that supposed to mean?" The Korean looks back at the pair of dolls, and seems to be gauging them carefully. Flicking the nose of his hat, Choi then returns his gaze to Tran. "And I would say 17. Well within some countries legal age of consent. And besides, my mother always had a saying. If there is grass in the field, play it."
Choi's mother would like to make it clear that she never said that.
However, before Choi could unleash the wink and pelvic thrust, the marble slab rumbles to life. The safety platform slowly withdraws back under the door, remove it from play. The Korean yelps, and scans around the ground. Wait. Why do that when you could... WALL JUMP! With a hoot, the crazy midget leaps from the soon-to-be-gone rock to a pillar. There was still considerable distance before he could reach the ladies, but anticipation was half of the fun with the game!

Great. This is just great. "There's something wrong with you!" Tran's shout echoes forth after Choi as he goes bouncing around like a little happy flying fairy princess. Well, Dr. Tran is a man's man. When the slab is retracted, he just steps forward onto the coals. Crunch, crunch.
His focus now, for better or worse, is on the two girls on the other side of the room. Hey, it's what's-her-face from that one time! She remember his name and everything. Great. "If you really think that, I'm going to have to question your medical credentials. Even if I am...not for long, I'm thinking." He pauses and sighs, feeling the building burn on the bottoms of his feet. Did he piss someone off at SNF or something? What did he do to deserve this?

Decapre gave a nod to the other Doll before pulling her gauntlets on a little tighter and proceeding to pull the trigger to release the set of spring-loaded claws installed between the knuckles, stepping off of the platform now that it was starting to retract. After all, it looked like Aprile was already out amongst the coals herself. "Glad to hear it."
Beyond that, when the announce calls for them to start, she begins calmly walking forward at a brisk pace, already feeling the rubber of her boots start to melt. She's still sticking close to Aprile for the most part, expecting that with her energy the medic won't have any trouble keeping up.

It seems that Choi .. is a bother. He'll be taken out in time, she is sure, but she will not rush it. For the moment, however, with Choi showing his true colors, leaping against the walls.. the doll could already see what she was dealing with.. so she understands just how to deal with such a thing.
It's not that hard, when you've been trained to deal with multiple threats. "What... I already showed you them! Oh well I guess that's true .. I'll just have to fix you the other way then." Which means a reverse fix. That's not fixing at all though? TOUGH.
Running forwards, the rubber also begins to lose itself to the burning, but Aprile doesn't mind too much. It's pain, and pain is good. Pain is better if it's on another though.. and they'll be pained too!
"So .. Here I go!" She exclaims, moving forwards already! Charging onto the field!

But she doesn't stop just simply running forwards in her charge.. no.. Aprile immediately reaches down into the burning coals, scooping up a handful of them, and then aiming for Choi .. tosses some at the little freak, so that HE TOO, CAN FEEL THE BURN.
OH YEAAAAH.
But really.. it'll hurt her hands and everything.. but she's more worried about burning HIM than her!

Choi was in the field tonight! However, he wasn't actually expecting to get attacked. As he positioned himself for the next leap to avoid heated death, someone by the name of Aprile decided to giving Choi a burning sensation where the sun don't shine! That wasn't cool! It was supposed to be the other way around!
So naturally, Choi makes the decision to hit the dirt instead of taking aerial heated death. The downside of this was the ground-based heated death. The upside was that at least he could get up again. Squealing in pain, he shoots right up in the air the moment he strikes the coals. The Little Man dashes across the hot painful nightmare, beelining straight for the nurse who wanted to play Choi instead of doctor. Growling, he makes a desperate jump through the air at Aprile. Spiraling through the air like a football, he was trying to drill the spandex-clad nurse.
And the Choi Beat drones on.
And thusly, the battle is joined. Choi and Aprile are going at each other, and that's honestly pretty fine with Dr. Tran. He doesn't want to be anywhere near his teammate when the hammer falls, and it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that it will. Possibly with the force of a thousand exploding suns. While Dr. Tran COULD clearly withstand it, it would be irksome.
And so, he may as well help things get off to a heated start. "Alright, alright. Here we go." He increases his gait, going into a loping run with a heading toward Decapre. When he gets near, Tran stops, letting himself skid along the burning coals with one foot, the other raised up to about head level. Yes, this is the fabled boot to the head, but Dr. Tran isn't going to stop there! He's going to try to follow it up, riding Decapre down into the coals, before leaping up in a graceful backflip, only to come crashing down again full force with a full body splash!

Decapre had to give her partner credit for the idea, even if she did miss her target. Choi was small and quick, so from that distance it was understandable. But how about when he's a little bit closer, and already in mid-jump? They'd both probably have a better shot, is what the one in the braids is thinking.
And while her mind is preoccupied with all of that, here comes Dr. Tran to kick her in the head and push her down into the coals before flipping back and diving back onto her. Ugh. It all looks like it hurts quite a bit, but the Masked Doll doesn't do much more than hiss. Not that this can be heard over the louder hiss of the coalbed, as the exposed part of her back is burned slightly more than the rest of her through her uniform.
When Tran eventually backs off of her though and allows her to stand, it seems that her plans are still the same as they had been. She aims for Choi, and swipes one of her claws in his general direction, rending the air in front of her and causing an inverted waterfall of crimson energy to appear and shoot out towards him.

As Choi hits the dirt, Aprile attempts to slam into him with a fist, aiming to strike the spiralling Choi, but her aim is off, or perhaps deflected, by the strike. Either way, the drilling causes her to flinch, pulling back rather painfull as she staggers. It's not the very best, but in the end, she had tried something .. and it faltered.
Pulling back to her feet, Aprile notices the other fighters.. which involved Decapre and Tran. "Oh .. You can do it Decapre, I believe in you! And if you're hurt give me a call, okay?" She comments to her sister in arms, and backs up.
Just another day.

Choi closes in on the doll, cackling as he dives in. When the girl raises her arm around for a punch, the Korean gently brings an arm around and pushes it aside... and penetrates into her shoulder. "KYA HA HA!" He howls as he continues to hack into her body. When she pulls back, Choi prepares another charging strike... but is met with a swipe of red energy.
Smashing into the coals again, he yelp as he jump to a pillar again. While the heat wasn't horrible, the combination of energy and fire was painful for the poor man. Whimpering, he clutches the pillar. And then, he chuckles. "Well. Little girl. If you want to help a man who is hurt..." He starts, moving his legs into position against the wall, winding up. "Then how about healing a broken heart?" And with little warning, he leaps at Aprile again, trying to dive past her with a swipe at her clothing. There HAD to be a mystery behind its support system!
Well. Things are going about like Dr. Tran expected them to. Choi's getting all the attention because he's a filthy, disgusting little man, and Tran is left all alone to do pretty much whatever the hell he wants. On the one hand, it's kind of gratifying to be right, but on the other hand, the doctor is trapped in a room filled with burning, fighting teenage girls, and a man who loves them.
You can't get closer to hell than this.
So for now, Dr. Tran is just going to hang back, tapping into the local chi in as Trantastic a manner as possible. If the air wasn't already shimmering from the heat of the coals, it sure would be now.

Decapre gives Aprile a little half-salute after she sends Choi running for the hills. Or... walls, or whatever. She got him to back off, either way. So for a moment she there she turns back to face the good doctor, narrowing her eyes at the power she thinks she sees building in the air around him.
But wouldn't you know it, the moment she starts to try and rush him, the sound of Choi's shrill voice stops her in her tracks. He was already attacking her teammate again, and it has been what, ten seconds? So instead she goes running the other way, and tries to skid to a halt behind Aprile just as the Korean passes by her, hoping to slow him down a bit with the resulting shower of sparks and embers thrown up off the coals. This isn't all she has for him, though. There are three nine inch stainless steel spikes thrust through the rain of glowing embers that seek to puncture his flesh.

As Choi gets through her guard, Aprile winces. Oh, not her luck today at all. But the quick slice doesn't get through where Choi wants, the clothing not cutting at all, but instead leaving a bit of red wounds where he had struck.. it's painful, but .. not really bad at all. "Oh.. I don't care about you!" She states, smiling.
"The only good you are is dead.. so do that alright?" She comments, tilting her head.. and then sliding out something from her kit, bringing it up and then pressing it against her arm, injecting whatever she has straight into herself.
"Ahh.. THERE. Much better!" She salutes to Decapre.
"Just taking care of a few things!" It'll help her ignore the burning coals! That's for sure.

The evil dwarf hacks at her body, leaving him confused. What strange clothing was this? Was this the ultimate in stripper technology? A full supporter of full support? The anti-nudity clause clothing? You could look, you could imagine, but you could never actually see anything! It was safe for work, and yet sexy! A perfect, yet horrible, combination! Landing on the hot coals, Choi was doing a quick monkey hop to avoid his feet of fire, when Aprile was injecting stuff in her.
And Choi just stops and stares. "Uh. What?" He starts. And then it hits him. This girl was a junkie. A Trainspotter. A channel swimmer. She was dropping the bad bundle while twiddling thumbs in hot seat city. The Korean shook his head. Was this the message that SNF was trying to bring? That drugs were great, especially around dwarf midgets. Choi swore to himself that he would not tolerate such activity from little girls. Only he was allowed to do that. So when the flash of embers and spikes come his way, he backflips erratically, and from the haze of heat, Choi emerges...
Beginning to dance. Hopping around from foot to foot, the Korean was having some strange hoedown. With legs like rubber, he drunkenly swayed side to side, closing in around the nurse. And staring at her, he suddenly began to speaking in a strange manner. "Guuuurl... that gum you like? Is coming back.... in style." He croaks before spinning around like a ballerina. A ballerina, ironically, on meth. Whipping the hot embers around him as his cycles like mad, he circles around the poor addict faster and faster, trying to teach her that winners don't do drugs.
Well, it looks like Dr. Tran almost got in on the action again...almost, but not quite. He continues to be pretty okay with it, all things considered. Under normal circumstances, he might get kind of upset, but since the less he gets attacked, the more Choi gets attacked...
Really though, Tran should jump in and help out. Somehow. ...at the very least, to get himself moving. Just standing around on the coals only makes it feel worse. Finally, Tran is cooerced into motion once again, and once again toward Decapre. To be fair, look at his alternative - Aprile is not only shooting up, but she's still being molested by Choi. Tran wouldn't want to touch that with a twenty foot pole. Or anything else, really.
Embers flying behind him in a beautifully dramatic shower, Tran raises a fist and calls out, "Hey, claws! You should probably duck!" Then he swings it right at Decapre's mask. It's a fair warning, even though Tran doesn't usually go in for that sort of thing. Today's a day of exceptions.

Decapre can do better than that, Tran. On top of just ducking when he comes running in to punch her, she rolls up into a handstand and tries to scissor her legs out to lock around his neck and squeeze. If she gains purchase she'll draw herself up all in one fluid motion and flip him down headfirst into the coals, in reverse. Meaning it's going to hurt his spine a lot more than just an original-flavor frankensteiner. If all goes well, she'll be able to stay off of those hot coals for a moment or two.

You bet. It's clothing .. enhanced by psycho power!? Well.. no. And yet yes. The clothing is meant to take far more punishment than a normal one.. and in truth, the dwarf hacks away at the heavy outer clothing.. and even then, there's another layer. Form fitting clothing that doesn't break.. perhaps, because the dolls are about as a-sexual as you can get, at times.
And then Choi stops. Her needle is slid away, the combat drug already registering in her system.. the coal ceases to burn as painfully, the feeling of slight euphoria.. as well as drive to continue on administered. As Choi emerges from the haze of heat his dance.. legs like rubber and all.. well, when he comes closer.. "Gum? ..I don't need gum." She states.. and as he circles about her faster and faster, a spinning tornado of claws and blades.. suddenly finds itself slowed, and coming to a stop.
The nurse takes the medkit, and upon the first strike.. it stops, the medkit pulsing with energy as it absorbs the force, before the nurse shakes. "Mm... such force .. just what I needed to keep going...HAI! I'm sure you deserve this .. so here!" She calls out, spinning towards Choi. "CANNON SPIIIIKE!" The psycho power aims to nail Choi and drive him up, before launching him off and away!

Paste means Crack. Cutting is making the stock impure.
You are giving yourself impure liquid crack as an attack, Aprile.
When she defends against his strange alien attack PERFECTLY, the Korean gets more than a little ticked off. Winners do drugs? And she was even enjoying- wait. What was going on? Choi felt himself slowed down, and to his horror, the magic bag was glowing. And she was being... kinky creepy? Choi, for once, was feeling uncomfortable at which way this was going. Uncertain how to act, the Korean brings his arms up, blocking the counter-attack.
He needed to sort out his thoughts, fast. She was obviously very technical. Healing? Check. Weird magical chi stealing powers? Check. Impossible to break through clothing? Check. This must have been some sort of secret weapon designed to defeat men like Choi. The Korean gulped loudly, arms bruised from the attack. He needed to be more careful. As the fire burned through the bottom of his feet, he realized he COULDN'T be careful. Cringing, he danced back horizontal to Aprile. With a hoot, he leaps at her, feet first. He needed to soften her up a bit. Again. Stupid junkie healers.

Dr. Tran is nice for once and gives some warning, and this is the thanks he gets? Sheesh. See if he ever does that again! Decapre gets her hold, and while Tran isn't entirely sure of the physics involved, he does end up lying slightly dazed on the coals, with one hell of an ache in his entire neck.
Groaning, he pushes himself up to his feet, ignoring the burning coals. They hurt, but Dr. Tran is clearly too much man to even acknowledge that he notices something as insignificant as that. In fact, there's a lot he's not acknowledging, like the continuing drug war between Choi and Aprile, and hell, even Decapre.
Instead, the doctor just takes a step back and closes his eyes. Steam begins to rise off of him, pale tendrils creeping upward. "Keep coming, claws. Even if I turn this place into a sauna, I don't think it'll be relaxing, so I just want to hurry this up." His eyes snap open, and the steam intensifies, coming off in billowing waves. "One way or another. COME ON!"

Decapre hops away from her fallen opponent after driving him into the hot coals, taking it as sufficient payback for the way he smashed her down onto them with his body earlier in the fight. She's then walking amongst them once again, the soles of her combat boots having been just about completely burned through at this point, watching the man and keeping her guard up.
"Oh? That seems fair, I don't want to stay here any longer than you do, Doc-tor~" she remarks, saying the word all weird like it's meant to be condescending. And then, since he's called her 'claws' several times already, it seems high time that she use them against him for once. One of her hands is held out at her side as she begins to slowly approach him, and it becomes first a blur, with the claws seeming to lengthen to about twice their previous size before they start to ripple and make a buzzing sound. When she's finally close enough to try and cut him with them, they appear to be almost formless and ghostlike in appearance. Are they really that long? Or is it just an illusion?

Combat drugs are only outlawed when you have MORALS. And such, Aprile is immune to such silly rules as 'cannot use drugs'. Because she just did! .. AND LOOK HOW IT TURNED OUT, KIDS! But anyhow.. as the Korean man blocks the counter attack, the nurse watches as Choi charges.. right into her trap.
But Aprile sort of had intended on setting it before, anyhow.. this was just something she would do to make sure this little dancing dwarf had understood, honestly.. HANDS OFF this property belongs to one Master Vega!
"I'm .. really quite sorry.. but you see, I'm already taken anyways.. you must understand.. Master Vega is going to only be the ONLY man in my life .. and you're not what I'm looking for in the other slot." She winks.
And then spins.
A red ring with the medkit begins to spin upwards, spiralling up and up.. as Choi lands his foot straight against her, Aprile's psycho energy, red with an outline of white, grabs ahold of his foot, dragging him up infront of her .. before she spikes the little runt into the coals!
PROOF THAT DRUGS MAKE YOU A WINNER.
"So do .. go pick on a schoolgirl.. I'm not going to be a victim to you.. Oookaaay?" She smiles, waving a hand, and winking again.
Choi's low-risk low-gain technique fails when Aprile's counter breaks through to him. Like most junkies, she was wild! Unhinged! A regular berserker! It must have been all that crank she was tapping. Aprile was horrible. EVIL AND HORRIBLE. The ultimate weapon against Choi.
Being smashed into the ground, Choi groans painfully, the hot coals finding themselves in the worst possible places in Choi's body. But that wasn't the thing that was bothering him the most. The most was that she was mocking Choi. With sexy nurse sexiness. And other slot? Was she implying that Vega already had one? Vega... Choi made a mental note of making Vega his enemy.
Rising up from the ashes of his former self, Choi shook himself hard. "So. You don't want to do this the nice way, toots?" The Korean begins, stretching his arms out. Burns were caking his entire body, but he didn't care. He still had a fight left in him. Growling, he suddenly leaps in the air. Rolling a few times in the air, he suddenly launches himself down at the girl, legs flailing about in a stomping manner. STOMPING.

This is a mistake. The claws, despite their mysterious nature, slash full on across Dr. Tran's torso, leaving long, nasty looking streaks of red. It's enough to make the doctor recoil with a short, strangled cry. His breathing goes coarse, and it seems like he's a little bit stunned, hunched over with a pained expression on his face. "Suprising...whatever!" And then, in a quick, wild act, he spins about and tries to backhand Decapre, With an explosion of steam, more to buy himself time than anything else.

But she doesn't exactly need to be able to see straight in order to call upon the power of the soul, so while she's waiting for the ringing in her head to stop, she goes ahead and does that. The coals around her feet begin to smoke a little as the December Doll gains a wispy red aura. Normally, this aura tends to make things die, but since coal is already made of dead things all it seems to be doing is burning a little bit faster.

Low risk.. isn't! Or perhaps it was some kind of high risk maneuver!? Whatever it is, as Choi is smashed into the ground, groaning painfulled, with hot coals all over .. well. As Choi is mocked, she means she plays for the opposite team! But Choi will only be fueled by outright telling him that.
It's why she just doesn't.
But as Choi raises, Aprile shakes her head, watching the burned Korean whom suddenly leaps into the air and rolls, launching himself down towards her .. STOMPING?! Stomping.
But the doll isn't interested in such a thing. As the creepy old man comes in .. she flips backwards, Choi landing on the hot coals, as Aprile raises her medkit.. and begins to glow a bright red, white sparkles on the tinge of the outside of the psycho power.
"Why would I do it the nice way? ..Well.. Unless it's the only way! Anyways, I told you I wasn't going to be very nice!" Or did she!?

Choi was getting tired. Both his player and himself. Smashing up to his ankles in hot coals were not fun. Howling in pain, he hops around more, dancing over the fires. He had enough of this hotfoot. The drug-addicted girl was being nothing but a pain in his behind. And he didn't know how his partner was doing. Yes. Choi cares about his partner. Growling, he glares at the girl from behind his glasses.
"Oh, shove it. Rotten brat." He dances over to a pillar, and begins shuffling up it. Being free of horrible flaming goodness, at least for a moment, gave him a chance to calm down. Taking slow deep breaths, he gripped the building tightly. Tran. Shouting across the hall, he cries out, "Hey! Buddy boy! How are you holding up?" The Korean knew he was taking a licking in this fight.
Could he keep on kicking, though?

Well, that worked out pretty okay. Decapre wandered off for a moment to go a-chargin' her laser, leaving Tran his own time to deal with his sucking chest wound. Of course, he's not actually doctoring it at all. That would be silly, especially when he can just grit his teeth and keep punching. It's a much better solution for everybody! Except maybe whosoever he is punching. But he doesn't care about them anyway, or why would he be punching them? Exactly.
"Shut up and keep fighting!" That's about as far as Tran cares to think about Choi right now - he's mostly focused on just one thing, and that thing is ending this fight. "Full throttle, all the way to the end! No breaks!" He's saying it in response to Choi, but he's staring right at Decapre. A challenge, perhaps? It's a little bit rude, totally lacking in proper civilized manners, especially seeing as how it's accompanied by a yard-long blade of chi, screaming through the air at the doll. But, y'know. Tran already tried the polite thing, and to hell with that.

Himeko leaves it to you.
With the way Decapre's mask felt like it was still trying to vibrate right off of her face, she wasn't quite as keen on rushing into things unprepared again as she was five minutes ago. She does try her best though after Tran's little speech, but when she blocks at the totally the wrong angle and gets slammed by chi, she realizes that her depth perception is still a little bit off. Plus, she's once again pushed back several good feet, and ends up down on one knee pretty close to her medic. But does she ask for a heal? Nope.
"I- I'm alright. Just take care of the other one. This Tran hits surprisingly hard, but I will handle it..." Ahh she's breathing like Vader now. That's so embarassing.

With Choi retreating, running away to calm down and the like.. Aprile decides this time .. the time to go on the offensive .. IS NOW! And that's sort of just what she does. With Choi calling her a brat, Aprile immediately runs after the fiestly little midget, her medkit in tow. "Come back here.. I'm not done beating you into the ground!" And that's just what she does.
Red burning psycho energy is waved in front of her, white trickling off as she runs at Choi .. and then thrusts the darn medkit towards him!
"Really! It's not done yet! The procedure isn't done, so hold up!" She calls, chasing him down whether he likes it or not.. it might not be the best thing to do immediately, but darn if the doll ever thinks about 'best choices' when she's trying to finish off someone!
"I'd be a terrible doctor if I didn't finish what I started!"

Since Choi is convinced that Aprile is less of a kinky nurse and more of a 'Misery' nurse, any sorts of procedures coming at him are going to be frowned upon. Especially when involving glowing medical kits. Doctors. With his doctor giving generic encouragement phrases, Choi was liking the medical field less and less.
When Aprile charges in, Choi leaps high in the air, kicking off from the pillar. Reaching the ceiling, he then kicks down from there, shooting straight for the firm handmade tush of the Vega Girl. All his techniques were refusing to work. Winding his clawed hand back, he thought of the only thing that might actually work: A spank.
Yes, Choi understood that testing the fat/muscle ratio of any pair of hams was quite useful. As the test subject here was not the most endowed in the chest regions (bottom heavy over top heavy, as Choi would say,) Choi would have to direct his energies to the lower half. After all, womanly hips were a key part of any balanced breakfast. And with the nasty sharp claws winding around, Choi was ready to tap that ass. Hopefully, there would not be any syrup involved.
Of course, even though Tran's some ways away from Decapre, it's a /short/ distance. Within hearing distance, in fact. And even though the suave secret agent doctor doesn't make a habit of eavesdropping, one word sticks out to his mind.
"Surprising? Don't tell me this is a surprise, girl! You should have known what you were getting into! Hraagh!"
This last, of course, is another wild battle cry from Dr. Tran as he charges forward once more at the masked psycho girl, the steam that surrounds him growing thick as he approaches. When he gets close, something a bit odd happens - which is to say, it's sucked violently inward, vanishing into Tran himself.
He goes down on one knee in the burning coals, grabbing a big double handful. "EAT IT!" Then the chi that he sucked in just moments before explodes, a geyser of steam blasting upward all around him, sending hot coals and embers and chi flying up all around him, engulfing the surrounding area.

Decapre is well aware of the distance between them. This isn't to say she deliberately spoke in a loud enough tone that the doctor could hear her, or that she meant for what she said to be taken as an insult. She'd like to think she could do a little better. With like, a short joke or something. Probably not with Choi there for him to like at and feel better about himself after, but y'know...
In any case, the feeling between them seems to be mutual as soon as Tran takes offense and calls her 'girl'. He could call her 'claws' or 'clawgirl' or whatever all day and she wouldn't get mad, but for whatever reason, the way he says that one word by itself makes the Russian Psycho Doll snap. She growls and just goes absolutely berserk all of a sudden, spinning to her feet and slashing right through the majority of the hot coals heaped onto her by the American and striking him with a heavy backfist right to the sternum. From there, she moves into several whirling uppercuts aimed at his chest and neck, leaving behind red afterimages made of psi which seem to repeat her scratching attacks in the same spots that she's already opened up wounds.
Then, when it's all over she somersaults backwards, landing a few feet away, still shaking with rage, with chunks of broken coal and embers falling from the shoulderpads of her now bloodied uniform.

That's actually a good ring to it! Misery nurse sounds fine.. especially when dealing with the enemies of Master Vega! That's all she can truly promise them. Misery! It works so well.
As Choi kicks off the pillars.. Aprile stares at Dr. Tran's actions.. oh she knows what that man can do, and worse, she's looking away. While not MASSIVELY endowed in the top regions, Aprile certainly has a set.. and that's unfortunate that Choi was getting closer. And closer..
And the claws were getting close too, as Choi taps into the ass.. the claws striking..
And well, it's not syrup, but it's far more painful. The doll reacts like she always has, instinct kicking in, as she flips backwards, legs spinning about, the red and white psycho energy swallowing up Choi as he gets too close to touch, driling him upwards as she spins straight into the air..
Before flipping about, and around .. and then drilling him back down, the white psycho energy now dominating over the red. She continues this until she kicks off, one final time, and flips backwards. ".. You should not touch Master Vega's so blatantly.. you are lucky you still have your arms." She responds, somewhat sweetly.. as Choi ends up in the burning coals.
Perversion. Evasion. Aggression. All have failed. Choi was truly against the ultimate weapon of Vega: Aprile. Choi had met many counter-agents to his advances, but Aprile was the ultimate. The Korean didn't have any more weapons left. He was at her mercy. And in the response to his motion, he could only think the 'maker.' Vega must be the the Deus Ex Cockblock, judging by the doll's reaction.
His claws struck, yes, but before he could enjoy he remembers drilling. And then there is darkness. Very hot darkness. He cannot see. Oh dear. It seems he landed head first in the coals. He doesn't move. Paramedics slowly get into motion.
Is this the end of Choi?

And then, with a grunt, Choi rises from the coals. What could have brought him back? Was it the dedication? Was it his fighting spirit? Was it his inner fire of rage against Vega? Or was it... was it the fact that his hat was burning away. And with it, was the last portions of his emergency panty. And... his special Tiffany pictures. You just destroyed Choi's softcore porn, Aprile.
Prepare for a whooping.
After unleashing his power, Dr. Tran begins to stand - and is immediately taken off guard when Decapre just blasts on through. He has time to give out a strangled grunt of surprise, and that's about it. What follows is, at its purest form, and ass kicking, with Dr. Tran on the bad end of it.
The last uppercut slashes into the doctor and sends him backward into a wall. He hits it hard, still fully upright. "Hehe...finally." But then he slumps slightly, making it obvious that the only reason he's still standing is the support the wall provides.
"I kinda wanna see how much further I can take things, but..." Tran scans about quickly with blurring vision. What does he see? Choi and two 17 year old girls. Conflict rages in Tran's heart as seperate loathings clash. In the end, the more satisfying urge wins out. "Well, what the hell? Why not."
Pushing against the wall, Tran staggers forward, a drunken grin on his face, the steam around him seeming almost to pulse, as if it were a living thing. Every pulse sees it grows smaller, denser, drawing it all down to his fists. At last, he lunges forward alarmingly quickly, fists no longer visible through the thick covering of swirling chi, delivering his final, ultimate attack. At Aprile. Wait, what? Well, regardless. Each fist in turn comes rocketing toward her, leaving a jet trail of steam behind, before exploding loudly and violently, sending another shower of coals flying even if Aprile should manage to avoid his strikes.

Once again, payback seems to be a bitch. Or in this case, two bitches, with two Spin Drives. And there's no way anyone could survive that much dust. ...right?
So why the hell are Tran and Choi both still moving? Decapre doesn't look very pleased, up until she notices the man with the PHDs is staggering. She figures if he's moving that sluggishly then she can probably just let the firepit finish him off. Even if it means Aprile might be eating a fistful or two of steam before it does, she figures the redhead can handle it without her intefereing. Besides, she seems to need more help with Choi, since it still looks like he's conscious somehow.
Thus it is that Decapre comes running in from stage left, stopping just a few feet from the Tae Kwon Do fighter and raising one of her melty heels up high overhead. It's then brought down in a quick flurry of axe kicks, with her foot slashing up and down wildly and probably slinging molten plastic every which way. "Stay down, swine!"

As Dr. Tran begins to stand, Aprile watches.. shaking her head. "Well.. that was an amazing action from my sister.. I'm surprised you're even up at all!" And then there's a problem involving a MASSIVELY PULSING MAN, lunging forwards right at her, fists NEARLY UNSEEABLE through the swirling chi .. at her. Again.
The steam, she remembers, hurts like a mother. It's never going to hurt less! And it's barreling right at her.. Well.
Aprile focuses, a sphere of energy swallowing her, a red and white shell almost being bashed against by Tran, and in the end, RIGHT THROUGH.. but she holds her ground, as the shower of coals spray about, Aprile sliding across them.. friction burn as well as a few OTHER painful burns as she comes to the end.. and throws Tran off, after he uses all his momentum. He can't burn to death. Rules.. if she didn't, they would.
"You .. are really going to end up regretting getting back up." Aprile notes.. before she .. leans back a bit, taking a deeeep breathe, and shaking her arms off.
"You will LEARN to regret.."

Choi does not smile when Aprile begins trash talking. He just stares, walking through the coals. He was a possessed man. When Tran comes shooting by, fists out, he doesn't react. He just analyzes. There is the sound of rushing over the coals. Decapre was approaching. Choi believes this is a good time to act. As her leg goes down, Choi staggers low and to the side. He seems to wind his whole body up in the process, contorting painfully. And then, he spins.
The whirlwind starts up very quickly. Choi just spun around, faster and faster. In most cases, this would be pure chi and wind. But in this place, it was something far more dangerous. Coals were swiftly swept up in the tornado, sucking the particles upwards into the cyclone. Decapre would be in quite a bit of trouble, if Choi cared about her. No, Choi only cared about her sister. She destroyed his dirty pictures he worked so hard to get. And now, he was going to have his revenge.
Sweeping across the hall, Choi beelines it to Aprile, bringing his fiery maelstrom with him, trying to consume Aprile in the hellstorm.
Yeah, that looks pretty dangerous once the now hatless little man whips himself up such a massive tornado and goes tearing off toward Aprile, leaving the Masked Doll kicking nothing but air. At least it cools her foot off a bit, she supposes. But how much of a relief is that really when it only means they're going to be out here in this charcoal pit even longer?
"Rrgh... " she grunts, before deciding to chase after him no matter how ill-advised it may be, firing up the old chainsaw again by feeding massive amounts of psycho energy into one set of claws and causing them to look a lot more wicked as they ripple and make waves through the air as they seek to slash at Choi's back, hopefully just as his own assault ends.

As Choi walks forwards, Aprile smiles. "Oooh.. are you going to try again? But I already made a mockery of you ... well okay! Always good to keep trying!" She admits, waving over to Choi. And then as he winds his whole body up, she readies herself..
And then the whirlwind picks up again, Choi spinning faster and faster and faster.. the chi wind, and coals, make this deadly.. and as Aprile raises her arms.. it hurts. Oh does it hurt. But she doesn't really head to assault Choi immediately.
No.. this time, as Choi keeps assaulting her with this maelstrom, Aprile is indeed consumed. But she holds steady.. her arms and body cracking almost as her guard.. her arms and her legs and everything, is finally unable to withstand the punishment..
"Gah .. can't .. move ..." She admits.. /kneeling/ in the coals.. and planning to make what next movements she has .. while she may be able to stand .. count.
She really can't at this point fight back, with arms made of jello.

Choi's whirling dervish hammers poor Aprile with fire and wind. But she somehow stays standing. The fire scatters throughout the entire room, actually cutting swarths of clear floor throughout the room. A battlefield is cleared out for a moment as coal rolls down to the floor. The wind dies down, and the Korean begins to slow his spinning. That was it, Aprile. You survived the initial attack. There was nothing more that the- WHAT'S THIS?
And then, Decapre tries to intervene. I say try, naturally, because it doesn't seem to land a hit. There is a clang, and suddenly a screech. Choi turns the strike away with his claws, and uses the momentum from the attack to whips around the doll. Using the smashing strike from Decapre, The midget launches away from the offender straight for poor Aprile. Cracking across the ground, the Korean just keeps spinning. The wind was gone, but the claws were still going strong. The power of porn was burning through Choi's veins. He had to avenge his art. As his claws dove upon Aprile, there was only one thing on Choi's mind.
For Tiffany.
As foreign a concept as it may be to her, Decapre is starting to get a pretty clear message here. 'Stop attacking, you are wasting your time.' Whether it's Lord Vega himself sending her this message psychicly, or just the fact that she's failed to hurt Choi twice in quick succession that are telling her so doesn't really matter. This was becoming quite frustrating.
So what's next, for her? Well, the gloves come off. She could look over the mini-criminal to her crouching sister and see that her gauntlets were torn all to hell. So she's decided to give hers up and toss them her way, with the claws retracted, of course. "Quick, put these on!"

Ah not again. As Choi still spins .. of course the doll survived the initial attack! Aprile's not going to simply let something like that take her down! "Oh come now .. is that all you're going to give me?" The dolls chides, somewhat confident of her position. "Really. Give up. You have no chance." The doll comments, as the clang seems to give Choi the momentum he needs to launch back at her.. ah that annoying dwarf.
And that's about when he cracks across the ground.. Spinning.. spinning.
The wind and the claws still goes strong and then .. Huh? Aprile looks on to Decapre. "Wh.. Right!" Slipping hers off in the moments she has, the other gloves come on, and just in time.. they're immediately ignited with psycho energy, the red and white beginning to RE-visit Choi, as she begins to spin upwards, spiralling again.. and Choi has been taking this ride a second time, as the doll aims to thrust him, full of psycho energy, once more into the burning coals.
"Thanks for that... Just what I needed!"
Choi rides spinnas, but this time, they do stop. Choi is smashed hard by her signature move, feeling the knockback as he crashes into the coals. And then, covered in burns, the Korean IGNITES. Wreathed in flame, the well-over-the-edge fighter picks himself up, and just charges at the poor girl again. Choi was feeling the burn, and feeling the burn he was! Still on fire, he kicks into a spinning fireball of death, hurling himself at the nurse while covered in that fire! Did I mention he was on fire?

"Hahaha! Excellent! Good form!" But well, she was quick to turn on her heels and start to exit the arena after having her laugh, goosestepping her way out like the rest didn't even matter and giving one of those locked doors a good kick to get the people waiting in the wings to open it up for them.

And then Choi crashes to the ground, stilling burning. He doesn't move. Looks like burning physically killed the metaphorical fire in him. NOW the paramedics open the doors to retrieve him.
