Neo League 660 - #665: Decapre vs Himeko

Description: Miss December competes against Hurricane Hime for the title of-- Nah, it's just a plain old Neo League match. Only it takes place on several cars of a moving subway train on its way to the Metro Public Library. The train and the young Saikyo fighter both get pretty harshed! (Winner: Decapre)



It's been a while since Hime had been in Metro City; and not only is she here, she's here for a .. New kind of fight? It's certainly not like the girl to be not fighting near a library. However a compromise was made so that the final stop WOULD be the library. Lucky!

Unfortunatly for the public, there wouldn't be a lot of room inside the car, so they'll have to watch this one on the television, and while the underground station isn't exactly the cleanest of places to hang out, plenty of people are down there cheering for the fighters! Who could forget the little pink Saikyo fighter after all right? Stepping into the center car, she waves her hands wildly at the public, and then steps on a wad of gum. "... A- A-- Awww maaaaaaaan! Gross!" D:

She's not only here, she's in a somewhat new costume; her bodysuit is now black, with a pink stripe going down her chest; and her oversized scarf pink with black stripes at the end. She has plenty of pink straps on her gloves and boots too; she thinks she looks pretty swass!

Hime's opponent doesn't much care about the destination, herself. That is, unless the battling bookworm decides to start rapping at her the way Naerose did. If that happens, she'll probably be getting off early. And yes, it was that bad. Don't try to kid yourself.
But yes, Decapre and the Saikyo superhero were to fight in a moving subway car. It's not moving just yet of course, but it does start up not long after the masked doll steps onto it, joining Himeko near the center as the doors close.
For the doll's part, there's nothing new to see. Unless of course you're one of those people that's never seen her at all before. Or think she's just Cammy with a mask on. Which... is really the best way to describe her anyway! The uniform is the same, with just a slight color change, her legs are covered, and there's a mask. That's about the only difference. Even their hairstyle is the same.
In any case, though, once the subway train starts moving, the announcer comes on over the com system to give the old "Hajime!"

COMBATSYS: Decapre has started a fight here.

R- Rapping? Well, Hime isn't really into the whole 'hip hop' thing, but if the masses demand it, then... Well..

Hime sets her hands on her hips as she faces her opponent. Her eyes widen as a result though because yes while the uniform isn't.. Well entirely something to write home about (It seems kinda sorta X-Menish!) it's the mask that makes her eyes light up and she cries, "U- Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! That mask, that mask is SO COOL!!!! Awesome AWESOME!" a big THUMBS UP is given to Decapre in obvious approval.

"Hey tell you what, if I win, I can have one of those as a souvanier ok? OK!" And with that she bursts forward, the train shaking as it starts off into the underground tunnel, the lights already starting to flicker. She uses her usual opener, hopping off the seats and twisting into the air to deliver a flying back-kick at her opponent, the Immortal Kick! "mmmMMMOORTALS!"

COMBATSYS: Himeko has joined the fight here.

Himeko           0/-------/-------|=------\-------\0          Decapre


Decapre isn't sure she even has a spare, come to think of it. Sure, Shadaloo would get her a new one pretty much immediately if she were to lose the one she's weari-- Wait a minute why is she even considering agreeing to that? She's evil! Ahem.
"I'm afraid it doesn't come off. It /is/ my face." ...Could that really be true? Perhaps the world is about to find out, as when Hime launches herself up off of one of the seats to deliver her flying kick, the bottom of her shoe slams right into the front of the December Doll's mask. And... it gets stuck. That was the same shoe the girl stepped in gum with, and man, it must be some seriously sticky stuff, because before the two are able to seperate themselves, Decapre is thrown off balance and falls on her rear.
A- are her eyes glowing brighter now, or is that just because the lights totally went out just now? Maybe the sight of those glinting steel claws shooting out of either gauntlet as the brainwashed teen stands herselr back up will help answer that. If not immediately, then maybe when she dashes at the Saikyo student who hit her, slashing wildly.

"It's your whoza wuzza? No way!" Hime immedietly yells back, dropping from her kick and seeming pretty ignorant of her gum catastrophe. She just knew it was a -really- good kick! Though.. On the other hand it didn't go flying off, did it? "... Um.." She jerks her foot back a few times; and she's hoping she can get it off before those claws come into action, "Wait wait wa- YEOW!!"

Those close slash nicely into her back, sending her staggering forward and already the outfit is suffering tears and.. Hmn, why is it white under the material instead of brown skin?

Hime quickly turns around, cringing from the pain, but soon enough is back in action, striking a quick little pose. "Well, that's pretty lame. But I'm still glad to get a chance to fight a masked fighter, there aren't many of us you know! What's your name again? Uh.. Uhhhhh..." She rushes forward again of course, looking to get a hold of one of the woman's arms. If she can, Hime twists and tries to fling her over her shoulder and hard onto the floor! "Capri Sun, was it?"

COMBATSYS: Decapre blocks Himeko's Quick Throw.

Himeko           0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


Decapre apparently has a very solid stance, because she just doesn't budge when Himeko gets hold of that arm. At least, her lower-body doesn't. Her upper body just kind of leans forward a bit before she pulls free stands back up to her full height. "It's Decapre. De-cap-re. And what am I to be writing on your tombstone, little girl~?"
She's just playing, right? Her tone was almost sweet, so she had to be playing. SNF staff wouldn't allow her to kill a schoolgirl, or a superhero for that matter, on live TV. Go ahead and call her bluff! After all, with said schoolgirl still all up close and personal like that, she could try to stab something vital right now, and instead she's dropping down into a handstand and trying to wrap her legs around Hime's neck!

COMBATSYS: Himeko auto-guards Decapre's Reverse Frankensteiner!

Himeko           0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh.." Decapre. Well that's a weird name. That's not even a very good superhero name come to think of it. But it's not a good villain name either. This puts the saikyo fighter in a bit of a pickle response-wise there. The second half doesn't though! With that a sexy attack aimed for her neck! Hime twists her lips at the unusual grapple, and drops to a crouch, chin in her palms and looking down at the masked fighter, "Tombstone?"

Hime then rolls past her opponent and is on her feet, "W- Woah! You.. You are a VILLAIN, aren't you! Here to test my swift feet of justice, are we?? Well then, Hurricane Hime won't disappoint!" she strikes a defensive sort of pose, arms crossed in an 'X' in front of her tummy and a sudden rush of wind causes her hueg scarf to fly upward in the sky. "You'll find out all the hype you've heard is for real!" And a biiiiiiiiig grin follows as she's clearly concentrating on something.. But what!

COMBATSYS: Himeko focuses on her next action.

Himeko           0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


Well, Lord Vega may be a stern dictator, but does he ever refer to himself as a villain? Probably not. It's the enemies of Shadaloo that decide that Vega and his ilk are evil. So no, Decapre doesn't just come out and agree with the conclusion Hime's just jumped to. "Oh, now why would you say that? Just because I expressed interest in killing you?" the masked blonde asks in reply, tilting her head.
Of course, Decapre is still a little anxious to do some damage here, and since she was unable to get her Frankensteiner on, the next move she makes is a bit trickier. She flips back down to stand upright again, and as she's falling, she swipes her claws at the air, opening what looks like a rip in the air itself, from which pours a horizontal gush of crimson. It has the appearance of liquid. Blood, maybe. But on impact, it's not wet at all. Just painful!

Hurricane Hime's scarf settles back down, and the girl just.. Kind of rubs at the back of her head, "Uh.. DUh!! You can't play innocent with me, I see right through you! Now all that's left is for me to kick you until you see the light! YEAAAAAAAAH!" Hime looks to where presumably the camera is and gives a big thumbs up! She's prepared for the next attack, luckily, her textbook is withdrawn from her scarf and thrust out in front of her. The result?? The crimson energy crashes into it, the book itself absorbing a good hunk of the impact! However she's still pushed back, in fact closer to the doors of the car!

"Hmmn.. Ok.." she mumbles, quickly tearing three pages from her book and tosses them up over her head. They fold up into paper airplanes, become ablaze with white energy, and then divebomb toward her opponent! "o/~ Buh-liiiinded by the light!!"

Curses, foiled by a book. A textbook, too. Everything Decapre needed to know was programmed into her head when she was brainwashed! Way less hassle than reading some boring textbook! But back to the matter at hand...
The doll slowly advancing through the moving subway car to make up the distance, and has to raise her forearms to protect herself from the divebombing paper planes, which, one or two of them seem to actually get stuck in the rubber of her gauntlets like arrows. Huh. She yanks them out and crumples them up before throwing them down, but the dents in her guards of course remain. But the masked doll isn't too concerned with that now. She's much more concerned with rushing forward and trying to grab Hime to slam her back through those sliding doors she's so close to. With or without making them slide open the way they're supposed to!

COMBATSYS: Himeko fails to interrupt Medium Throw from Decapre with Ghost Writer.

Himeko           0/-------/=======|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


Himeko is grins, she is all grins once her papers land surely, but there wasn't quite the knockback there she was originally expecting. So she scratches her head, but then seems to be slightly more defensive in positioning when Decapre closes in on her. In fact what she's doing is actually reaching behind her for her paper fan, and jerks on it.. Only to realize by a cruel twist of fate that it's stuck! How can this be!!

"U- Uh oh!!" She yelps, manageing to get to the 'o' when she's grasped by the throat, hoisted and then smashed RIGHT through the solid doors, the first then the secound that sends her tumbling into the second car! She does manage to spring to her feet but.. She flops against one of the phone poles, grasping it with one hand, the other rubbing the side of her head, "Wh- Where am I? Who am I??"

Decapre has to kick at the dented and buckled doors a bit before climbing through them herself to join Hime in that other car, but she manages. One might wonder why she didn't just rip through them like Wolverine, but uh, adamantium doesn't really exist, folks. That would've taken way too long.
"Hurricane... Hime, I think you told me a moment ago. And you're on a subway. Riding on the Metro~" Man, that was a totally sweet System of a Down song. But yeah, it seems like Decapre isn't done kicking things. She snaps her foot out to catch the girl in pink to give her a little of what she gave that poor door on her way in, aiming for her chest. Meeeaann.

Himeko           0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


Hime wasn't in good shape. She looked like she was in real trouble! At least, that's what it looked like at first. But once Decapre is in the car and doesn't move quite fast enough to take advantage, is time for Hime to pull herself back togeather. Well, and let go of the pole while she's at it, dropping onto the ground again so the kick flies harmlessly over her! Her knees tuck in and she rolls backward, "Uhmmm.........."

She's up again in time to strike a POSE! One hand on the floor, her ankles far apart and her other hand on her hip. "I don't really get it but.. Hey! Is this pose cool, or what! Look at me! Isn't it intimidating??" ':D' face.

COMBATSYS: Himeko gains composure.

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////////////////      ]
Himeko           0/-------/---====|==-----\-------\0          Decapre


Decapre retracts her foot somewhat slowly, too, but that's more for effect. She may not really be a supervillain like Hime thinks, or have the same reasons for wanting to make things look cool, but... what matters is that it makes the moment more tense! And when the smaller girl takes that pose, the masked doll even reaches up to cup her chin and rub at it slightly.
"...if you're really going for the intimidating look, I think it ought to go something a little more like this." And then, well, the doll drops the traditional Shadaloo Special Forces stance for a moment and stands up to her full height of about five foot four inches, clenching her fists at her sides so tightly you can hear the plastic of her gloves creaking, and giving a stern look while this huge aura of evil red energy flows off of her like she's getting seriously pissed! And then all of a sudden she yells really loud like a kendo student! "HAAAAAA!!!!"

COMBATSYS: Decapre gathers her will.

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  /////////////////////////     ]
Himeko           0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0          Decapre


Hime will be a student of the sport for a moment, because.. Well Decapre is offering some really good advice here; she's pretty sporting for a villain that much is for certain. But the pose and the aura of TOTAL DEATH causes Hurricane to stumble back slightly in shock, "WOAH!!!" as her headcap flies off her head.

And then she jumps up to pull the cap off from sucking vent to tie it back on again. "That's.. W- Woah!! Decap.. Ca.. Uh.. DECAFF! You may be a devil, but even I have to admit you've got 'it'! But I won't be pushed away so easily, WATCH ME!" And the heroine races forward, whipping a handful of papers from her thighholster. Once she's close enough, she managed to construct a somewhat shoddy-looking sledgehammer. She twirls on her heel just once, digs down deep, and just SWINGS the thing, preferably into Decapre's gut in which it'd just plain explode from the impact! "ORYAAAAAAAAAA!!"

COMBATSYS: Decapre blocks Himeko's Super Why!.

Himeko           0/-------/----===|======-\-------\0          Decapre


As any martial artist worth their salt knows, a kiai isn't done solely to scare the opponent. Decapre herself may or may not know this, or she may know and just not care, but that doesn't mean she isn't getting the other hidden benefit anyway! It psyches you up and makes you a more effective fighter too, even for just a little while. That's why when Himeko comes in and tries to hit her with that paper sledgehammer, she's able to block it like it's nothing. Even when it explodes it doesn't seem to phase her! She just grunts and reaches out for that pole the super saikyo fighter was holding onto a little earlier and rips it right off of its welding with both hands, tilting it down and aiming to swing it at her opponent like some unwieldy baseball bat. This may just break a few windows... "Hnngh!"

"Erk!" is the retort of Hime when Decapre nearly takes her attack apart! That Decapre is certainly one tough cookie! Well as the papers flutter to the floor, Hime is backing off just slightly, especially when the pipe is ripped out of its holder! ".. Uh.. Hey, what do you plan on doing with tha-" WHOOSH! Well, Hime does have a plan.. Her shoulder is turned inward and she lets out a mighty YELP of pain when the pipe slams into her and she.. She smashes RIGHT through the window! She's gone.. GONE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Though wait, Hime managed to grasp the windows edge and comes SMASHING through the window behind it, flying at Decapre from behind with her book (now open) in hand, "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEER!!!" she yells as suddenly twelve pages come ripping from her book with a fantastic white glow in an Arrow formation! She crashes onto the floor and nine more pages rip out; the energy threatening to just completely bowl over her masked foe! Probably quite quickly, too, with all the momentum.

COMBATSYS: Decapre dodges Himeko's Schoolhouse Rock!.

Himeko           0/-------/-----==|=======\-------\0          Decapre


Decapre does seem pretty convinced that this is the case! But would the Shadaloo elite regret it if Hime never climbed back into the car to finish the fight? ...psh, yeah right. She just stands there and kinda taps her foot before getting back into the proper fighting stance when the pink-clad fighter bust back in through that second window.
"Ah! Still alive I see." she says calmly, still using her sister Cammy's voice. Man she loves doing that. But what she doesn't like is projectiles! So you know what she does to get out of the way? No, forget ducking, that's for suckers. She jumps up and clings to the ceiling, digging in with those claws and using her limited command of psycho power to make her boots stick to the roof for a few seconds! Then, when those seconds are up, and the paper has all gone whizzing past her, she leaps and tries to drop down in front of Himeko, with one set of claws buzzing and rippling with energy as she tries to slice her with them. Wow, don't they kinda look longer from up close?

Ooooooooooooooh.. Decapre getting out of the way of that most certainly was not in Hime's plan book. She could only look upward in awe at the athletics, and then frowns. Frowns big. ".. Man." Well, at least the heroine seems to enjoy relaxing on the floor because this actually does help her out the second time around and the textbook is quickly withrdrawn to meet Decapre's assault. Well, assault with the energy at least. She braces for impact; again the book manages to absorb a lot of it somehow and she rolls away like a ball to put just a little.. NOT TOO MUCH distance between them.

"Hey watch it! You could hurt someone with those things!!" she cries, slipping the book away and gets into a football players position. She then darts forward, springing off the ground to become a little cannonball bursting toward Decapre! And if she connects, she'd rebound to cling up to the ceiling and then burst forward a second time with a diagonal ball blast, "HYAAAAAH!!!"

COMBATSYS: Decapre endures Himeko's Fierce Punch.

Decapre of course doesn't want there to be too much distance between them, either. But why bother going to Hime when she's obviously coming to her? After all, Himeko is moving awful fast, and bouncing off of things. It would seem a troublesome thing to try and catch her! So the doll chooses not to. She just waits, takes the hit, and then immediately tries to lash out at Himeko with those claws again in retaliation. Got any books left???

Hurricane Hime has plenty of them! She does the very important and environmentally friendly act of recycling! She's been using the same one each time it just.. Seems to sort of vanish when she's done with it- And in this case she's got that textbook out again and following the big ripping slash, it seems that the cover has taken some nasty damage with a deep tear into it. Hime looks to it and pales slightly. "... Ooh, that isn't good."

And neither is the position she's in.. She's got to really push it if she's going to win this match! In fact she takes the opportunity to try and grasp for Decapre's collar area, hopping up slightly to do so and then falls backward, springing her feet outward to launch the woman up into the roof! Assuming that hits, Her knees curl up so that on the way down, she can crash down on top of them, then finally springs upward, flips and tries to stomp down on the woman, "Try this!!"

Himeko           1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1          Decapre


...but maybe the roof is exactly where Decapre wanted to go? She seemed totally at home climbing it a little while ago, didn't she? So sure, why not. She lets Himeko launch her up toward it, no problem. But she rolls herself up into a ball and comes springing back off of it in the span of like two seconds, doing some kind of mid-air breakdance and them coming down on the Saikyo fighting like a ton of bricks with both boots pointed straight down while twisting and twisting. It's a downward Cannon Drill! Yay Cammy!
But would Cammy really be mean enough to try and put someone all the way through the floor of a subway car with it? Because this chick with the claws sure is! "Mind the third rail, little bird~!" she croons gleefully, turning and turning until she's finally out of momentum and has to step off.

Himeko blinks in astonishment.. Ok.. So, maybe that wasn't exactly the greatest idea there! And on top of that, she doesn't know Cammy too well. At least, she's not on the top of her list of 'favorite' fighters; she doesn't live under a rock, honest! But the moment the heels crash into her, Hime doubles upward and with a gagged choke, a bit of blood and saliva flies out of her mouth, the ground cracking, splitting, and webbing under the drilling pressure until finally KER-SMASH!

Holy crap the floor DID give! "WAUGH!!" But luckily for Hime, she's a quick girl. Her hand whips upward, and a string of papers lashes out to wrap around one of the pipes hanging from the top, and it acts somewhat like a bungee cord after hitting the pipe that keeps the wheels connected. "It's NOT OVER YET!" she yells, flying at Decapre with her knee extended, then launches two side-kicks in the air at the woman!

And following the three kicks, Hime just goes BLAZING! She lashes at Decapre with a series of kicks afterward, high, low, middle, you name it, and the combination is completed with a backflip kick and then a burst upward; her harrisen fan ablaze with energy with the rising fan-uppercut! "ORYAAAH!!" though it can't get as high as she'd like. Once she lands she stumbles forward a bit, and then collapses onto the ground again...

Just as the train comes to a halt at its final stop.

Decapre is doing a pretty good job of keeping her guard up, blocking those initial three kicks easily enough. But then things become a little bit more difficult as the assault continues and she gets herself clipped a couple of times. Like we said, Hime is quick, and the psycho doll can't block everywhere at once. Plus, she doesn't even see the fan-uppercut coming, so that gets through. But really, how far is a technique really going to get when your opponent is wearing a mask made of metal? It's like *clink* and then Himeko stumbles and falls like that, with the Shadaloo girl still staggering but grabbing onto one of those loops standing passengers use to keep from falling when the subway train stops. Because uh, looks like it just did!
"Oh, we're here already? Well, I suppose there's no time left to kill you then. See you around, Hime." she says, which is totally just an excuse. She was never going to kill anyone. She's just one of those people that enjoys the act of issuing the threat, just to be scary. A terrorist, if you will.
And then, just like that, she's steps off the train and the announcer kind of has to clear his throat before declaring her the victor. Hopefully the event staff in charge of taking care of Hime's wounds will be nice enough to haul her into the library to recover. She probably needs a new book!

COMBATSYS: Decapre has ended the fight here.
