Neo League 726 - #737: Marisol vs Mignon

Description: In Metro City Park, the witchy Mignon Beart fights against Pacific Resistance's Marisol O'Connell for yet another Neo League! Can magic defeat fists? Is perk mightier than the sword...of fists?? Can the log description really offer more than just questions? No! ...wait! (Winner: Marisol)



Ah yes, Metro City Park. Play some ball, hoops, and just enjoy yourself as you walk about the great scenery of the Park! There's happy go lucky people all around, cheering for this Neo League! It's nothing special.. if you don't count the nothing special being loads of trees.. yep, they're doing this in the very very very tree-centric part of the park!

Surrounded by flowers too, because someone happened to want flowers.

AND IN THE MIDDLE A SWINGSET, who knows.

But now .. they arrive! Or at least, one of the Neo League members arrive, Mignon running as fast as she can before coming to a stop, heels of her SPACE BOOTS digging into the dirt as she flails her arms completely, but trips, flying into the swingset and then being slowed.. finally.

Climbing out of it, Mignon laughs! "Whoops! Mignon didn't want to be late so Mignon REALLY had to hurry buuuut Mignon sort of over hurried and nearly tripped BUT IT'S ALL GOOD NOW because Mignon's here!" She raises a hand, happy, and bounces.. also happily.

Her clothing is all weird too, and the pink bun hair is just ANOTHER thing. If not for the PIKU PIKU PIKU from the sounds of her baubles all over. "ALRIGHT! Mignon is READY! So where's Mignon's opponent.. Mignon is RARING TO GO! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" She claps for herself, too.

It's like headlights to a deer.



While Mignon Beart hurries her legs as fast as they can to the designated fighting area--

Marisol is there, waiting patiently for her scheduled opponent to arrive.

With a straw poking out of one side of the half-Spaniard's mouth she absently nurses a bottle of water, gray eyes staring up at the canopy of trees that loom overhead. The choice of location is a bit lame, the girl decides, but at least it isn't some room filling with nerve gas. Or logs on choppy whitewaters. Or rickshaws. Or even a giant seesaw or rollercoaster track.

The girl's thoughts are distracted as Mignon noisily bursts onto the scene, arms flailing and shoes squeaking oddly as she spills into the swingset. Marisol watches quietly, still nursing the bottle of water in her hand as the pink haired girl picks herself up and announces herself in third person. She knew the name looked familiar on the bulletin she received. It's the weird witch wannabe girl.

Making her way forward from the sidelines of the sectioned-off area of the park, the half-Spaniard girl hands off her water as she approaches her opponent. "I wondered where someone as weird as you got off to," Marisol offers as she absently cracks her knuckles. "I wager, though, that you probably don't remember me." The girl may very well have some mental disorder that affects her memory; Marisol isn't QUITE sure yet.

"Name is Marisol." Pausing, the redhead girl tips her head slowly to the side, peering at Mignon. "And uh, feel free to start us off when you're ready..?" The half-Spaniard girl wonders if, maybe, giving the odd witch initiative is a good idea, evident by the bemused and mildly puzzled look on her tanned face.



Oop, is that what she thinks it is? "OH HI!" Mignon turns to face Marisol, as she attempts to jog her memory. "Wha... OH Mignon remembers you, YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME ALMOST AS MIGNON! Well .. I guess it's just the first letter but MIGNON THINKS THAT'S ALOT!" She's just bouncing around like a weirdo now.. and indeed, she may be that. BOING BOING!

"Mignon's name is just that, and Mignon's happy to re-meet you! It's always good to meet friends again! Mignon just wishes she remembers all the people she meets.. Mignon thinks it's hard to jog her memory when she can't find it." OH THE HUMANITY. But beaming, Mignon nods as Marisol makes that mention.

"Oh Mignon's going to have alot of fun, yep! So Mignon hopes you do too!" But she doesn't move yet, bouncing around in place.. And then more bouncing.

Did we mention more bouncing in place? "... OH Mignon nearly forget.. SHE HAS TO GO FIRST! HOORAY!"

And with that, Mignon leaps towards Marisol.. intent on ... pouncing her to the ground and then leaping off? "NYAAAAAAAAAAAH! MIGNON POUNCE!" Something is wrong with her.

Yeah. Something is definitely 'wrong' with Mignon.

Marisol just stands and observes the girl, peering with hints of disbelief as she bounces uncontrollably and loudly re-introduces herself to the redhead. She doesn't remember the girl being THIS odd, but then, that was a while back--over a year, maybe. And Marisol has met a lot of weird people, so...

"I-I'm sure I'll have fun," the redhead offers, smirking lightly, albeit a touch uneasily. How can someone be so energetic. It's so awkward; with hope, Marisol muses, the girl will take initiative. Conversation with Mignon is odd, but Marisol can easily converse when it comes to fists with people as 'strange' and 'unique' as these sorts.

"Yeah, you can go first if you li--" Before the words can escape her lips fully, Marisol is suddenly witness to Mignon leaping at the redhead with every intention of pouncing her like some giant pink animal that makes weird 'piku' noises when it moves. What will she do!?

Bracing herself for the inevitable impact, Marisol's legs tense up and support herself as Mignon petite frame crashes into hers. It sends the half-Spaniard girl stumbling back a step, but the redhead isn't any worse for wear. If anything, she's happy. The fight's started.

"Now it's my turn!" the girl cries, an odd grin on her face as she reels back and unleashes a punch aimed for Mignon's sternum when the pink girl lands, to send her staggering back if she's careless! "Let's GO!"

COMBATSYS: Marisol successfully hits Mignon with Light Punch.

Maybe punching her in the sternum IS the best choice of action .. and of course, it seems to work, because Mignon is devoting herself to the pounce.. and now, Mignon gets PAUNCHED! She's less staggering and more sent tumbling. You want a weakling? You get .. MIGNON, THE MAGNIFICENT.. well okay, she's not so weak, but lets say WITCHES DON'T TAKE PUNCHES!

"Owwwie ow ow!" Mignon calls out as she lands on the ground, rubbing her sternum. "Mignon didn't think she'd be hit so hard so fast .. BUT THAT'S OKAY!" She cries, leaping to her feet as Mignon says this, hands up again! "So .. MIGNON HAS BEEN GONE.. and now .. Mignon will make you go .. AROUND AND AROUND!" She cries, pointing her hands towards Marisol.

"Divine Wind Spirit!" And spinning once, the trees and the plants and the swing all begin to react to an unseen force.. before it grows smaller, solidifying in plain sight, the wind about the battlefield spinning faster and faster as it centers on Marisol!

"Mignon's just getting warmed up! Mignon will totally show you some fun!"

COMBATSYS: Mignon successfully hits Marisol with Windstorm.

Still grinning, even as poor Mignon goes hitting the ground, the redhead just lets her knuckles coil before she unfurls her fist. "Sorry 'bout that," the girl half-heartedly offers as the witch hops back to her feet. She seems fine enough, anyway. It's not like she punched a hole through the girl's chest!

"Around and around. What are you on about?" the girl questions, practically squinting at Mignon as her hands stretch out and point at the redhead. Soon enough, however, her questions are answered, as the winds pick up and are ultimately given form, all of which converge on Marisol, catching the girl off her guard! And as a result, she's sent whipping about, the winds cutting into her before she's tossed into the same swingset Mignon initially crashed into.

Groaning lightly, Marisol peels herself from off the slanted iron bar--now bent, no thanks to the girl slamming into it back first. Stumbling onto her feet, Marisol absently shakes her head before she lifts a hand and lightly rubs her back.

"Don't worry," the girl offers, her gray eyes lifting and settling on the perky witch. "I'm just getting started myself. Still trying to warm up--it's been a while for myself as well, so." Rolling her shoulders, the half-Spaniard cracks her neck. "Let's keep it goin'."

Pushing off her back heel, the girl races forward, intent on delivering a one-two strike from both fists across poor Mignon's awaiting face with a guttural cry of: "HYAAAAAAAH!"

COMBATSYS: Mignon dodges Marisol's Medium Punch.

Marisol          0/-------/----===|======-\-------\0           Mignon


As Marisol approaches her after the strike, Mignon's alright! She's totally alright!

But Marisol's slammed pretty hard. "A--OOPS! MIGNON DIDN'T MEAN THAT! Mignon wanted to spin you around NOT slam you into a pole she's so sorry! MIGNON IS JUST SORRY!" She cries out before Marisol offers that it's alright.. oh is it? OKAY! She's happy again.

But with Marisol already racing towards her, Mignon is barely able to leap off of the ground, kicking off the tree behind them and then tuck and roll, flipping over the Marisol that attempts to pound Mignon's face pretty powerfully! But the witch is okay, rolling and leaping to her feet!

"TADAAH! Mignon is up and at 'em!" She says, twisting around before she watches Marisol's punch. "hmm .. Miiiignon's never seen a punch like that .. is this a good punch? Mignon ALWAYS likes this punch!" And then Mignon begins to spin her arm around, faster and faster, spinning and spinning and spinning.. it's not going to do much.

And then Mignon just runs at Marisol, flailing both arms.

"MIGNON'S MIGHTYMASSSSHER!!!!" She cries.. just flailing. "NYAAAAAAH! WATCH OUT FOR HER SCRATCH!"

COMBATSYS: Marisol interrupts Strong Punch from Mignon with Snap Wind.

Marisol          0/-------/---====|=======\==-----\1           Mignon


"Y-yeah, I'm fine," the girl murmurs as she pulls herself free, letting her shoulders shrug as she rolls out the pain haunting her. She'd forgotten how the girl was weird like that, what with all her witchery and control over the elements. It's an obstacle, she figures. "Really, it's okay."

Fortunately, Mignon isn't a dweller, and she's fine enough with Marisol's okay. Despite her efforts thereafter to drive a pair of fists into either side of poor Mignon's face, however, the girl leaps nimbly out of harm's way and into the air and ultimately over the redhead. An inaudible grunt slips past her lips.

Planting a foot, Marisol whips around shortly after, peering at the pink-clad witch as she...spins her arms. And then...charges for the redhead. Taking a cue from one of her teammates she squints.

Then she squints again, a little confused by Mignon's tactics.

Just as the first spinning fist of Mignon drives itself into Marisol the girl suddenly lashes out into action! Driving a fist forward, she lets it collide with Mignon's sternum, to stun the girl. The real pain comes with the second strike, as Marisol bends at the knees before she unleashes a mighty uppercut right into the pink witch's chin with yet another graceful cry of:

"HYAAAAARGH!"



Po-TOINK.

The fist reaches Mignon before she really even gets into the assault, and the witch is launched backwards from the assault, spiralling to a point, the little witch that could just unable to stop the uppercut! Up she goes.. and down she comes.. Mignon is out of breathe as she hits the ground, but the Mignon certainly can only be stopped .. for so long.. what could she possibly do!?

Perhaps get up .. and continue the fight!?

GASPING Mignon leaps backwards, back to her feet after taking two punches horribly on! "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Mignon really needs to work on that . but Mignon in the meantime will just have to play the games you want to! .. Okay.,. here it comes..." Mignon exclaims.. before bouncing away from the swingset, and getting to the other edge!

"FIRE!" PWOOMPH. There's a gunshot like sound as a swirling red orb erupts straight towards Marisol's body .. and it's on fire!

"YEAAAH! GO MISTER FIREBALL!" She cries.. yes, you go mr fireball!

COMBATSYS: Mignon successfully hits Marisol with Fire Ball.

Expectedly, the girl gets back up. Part of Marisol is glad! The other part had hoped that, maybe, she'd stay down. She almost--almost--feels a little bad beating up on poor Mignon. Fortunately the girl can take it. And fortunately she's a fighter and signed up for Neo League, so, essentially, she brought it upon herself, yeah?

"You'll get there," the girl offers, a half-hearted but reassuring sort of compliment as she offers the pink-haired do-gooder of Justice a faint smile. "It just takes practice. You're doing fine any--"

Cut off again, the girl bounces and summons flames, which spiral forward, right for Marisol! Blinking once, slowly, the girl braces herself for the inevitable but, like before, it's more than she bargained for. The result?

Her shirt catches on fire and the girl flies back, hitting the ground with an 'oomph.' Immediately she rolls, snuffing out whatever flames dare to harm her and her precious skin. Chi or no, it still hurts like the real thing!

Pushing herself back onto her feet, the half-Spaniard offers a soft grunt before she turns, facing Mignon with a wolfish smirk. Wordlessly the girl begins to move, closing in on Mignon...before she breaks into a sprint, attempting to close in on the girl and deliver a swift, almost fleeting jab punch aimed right for the middle of poor Mignon Beart's face!

Marisol          0/-------/-======|=======\===----\1           Mignon


As Marisol CATCHES ON FIRE, as she rolls and snuffs out the flame, Mignon blinks. "Ooops. Mignon might have overdone it!" She exclaims from the result.. but what result is this!? With Marisol back on the assault, Mignon doesn't trust herself to get out of the way! .. And there's many a reason for that! But beyond 'because that assault looks PAINFUL', she doesn't think of anything.

Hands, and baubles up, the jab punch is aimed right for her face! And the baubles get struck head on... Mignon's pushed backwards! "GAAAAH THAT'S SO STRONG!" For a swift attack like that, Mignon is either INCREDIBLY WEAK or Marisol is like the babe of punch.

Perhaps both.

But as Marisol pulls back.. Mignon attempts to latch onto the hand. "No no, don't go! MIGNON'S NOT DONE YET!" She cries, and if she makes a catch .. Mignon suddenly SPARKS. The energy from the assault may taser Marisol.. and open her up for the rest. "Mignon's gonna .. show you .. a ... REALLY.. shocking .. EXPERIENCE!" She cries, before her hands begin to spark wonderfully, and then spin Marisol. Faster and faster and FASTER.

If it all goes through? Mignon is going to be launched the other way .. and Marisol is going to be fired the opposite way .. like a SHOT!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MIGNON WISHES SHE HAS PLANNED THIS OUT!"

Well, if it works!

COMBATSYS: Mignon successfully hits Marisol with Thunderbolt.

Marisol          1/-------/=======|===----\-------\0           Mignon


"Meh, I hear that a lot," the girl offers as her fist hits the baubles on Mignon's arms, the girl successfully shielding herself from harm as that offending fist dares to punch a hole in her face. "But really I wonder if it's true." IS she as strong as everyone says? Surely the girl could be STRONGER.

The two part ways; Marisol recoils as Mignon does--or does not. Instead, the girl is caught off her guard as the witch lashes out, snaring her by the wrist. Gray eyes go wide, her head tipping to one side as she peers at the other fighter. And then: sparks. Thousands of them! "Hey, what the he--"

Shocked and spun, the girl is dizzied up and numb before she's sent shooting backwards like a shot from a starting pistol. Soaring back, the girl finally comes to a stop when she collides back first with the ground, bouncing once before she lands, face up.

"Nngh."

Rolling to one side, the half-Spaniard girl rubs her forehead before she pushes up, arms shuddering lightly before she finds her footing. Securing herself, the girl offers a lopsided smirk, gray eyes hooding as she peers at Mignon. "That was pretty good. Here, let me show you something."

Sliding a foot back, the girl seems to recoil back, readying herself like the hammer of a gun. "It's only fair, yeah?" A breath slips past her lips...and then she offers a guttural yell.

Throwing herself forward, the half-Spaniard races at Mignon, attempting to deliver four massive hook punches, to stun the witch. And should they land, the girl will recoil after the fourth, arm tensing and muscles visibly shuddering as she clenches a fist...and then summarily unleashes it into the center of Mignon's chest with considerable effort and force, to send her flying..!

COMBATSYS: Marisol successfully hits Mignon with Atom Smasher.

As Marisol rolls to the side and then gets up, Mignon is all "YAAAY!" And then Mignon says it's fair and then the yell catches Mignon off guard and then FIST AFTER FIST crash into Mignon's arms, causing her to first stagger backwards.. and then crash backwards afterwards! Her body is unable to pull from the assault, and then the fourth punch comes and WHAM Mignon is knocked skywards!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Ow it hurts so much "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Mignon cries, before lowering both hands to face Mignon and firing off a GIANT chunk of fiery earth that she creates just like THAT. But Mignon's launching it in like a BOOOM the world explodes kind of way and ends up launched BACK into the air before falling back into the tree.

Annnnd not coming back out.

COMBATSYS: Mignon can no longer fight.

Just when Marisol thought she'd disposed of poor Mignon, the pink witch pulls another trick out of her non-existent sleeves, firing off a large mass of fiery earth right for her. Glancing up, the redhead peers before she bites her lip and growls low, arms reaching up to block her face from harm, and hopefully stave off the mass of rock. Her defenses prove successful, despite the red welts and massive aching her arms receive as a result.

Exhaling once the rock is dealt with, Marisol's arms shake out, gray eyes drawing shut as she relaxes. A Neo League announcer declares her the winner before he turns to a few adjacent crew members. With sticks and ladders in hand, their job is clear:

To fish Mignon out of a tree.

Picking up her water bottle from the hands of a crew member, the girl resumes sipping while walking away toward the city proper. Hey, if she's in Metro for another day, may as well make the most of shopping! Not to mention get herself something nice to eat. ...and maybe a bandage or three for her aching arms.

COMBATSYS: Marisol has ended the fight here.
