Description: Burn, baby, burn! More than just David Caruso when he parks a car, the disco inferno still rages on! Watch as a 2v2 fight becomes a set of duels, as Poison gets her groove back and Dan proves that more than his soul still burns! (WINNER: Hayato & Dan)
Everything old is new again, sooner or later, and the new thing is reviving 70s retro -- not even reviving the styles and sounds of the 70s, but reviving the later imitation of those styles, detaching further and further from reality and sliding into overblown caricature.
Poison Kiss, for one, embraces our new disco overlords. She's currently sandwiched between two muscular gentlemen with wide collars on shirts that are unbuttoned to their navels, permed hair to match their thick chest fur, and gold chains, gold chains, gold chains. She herself is wearing a dress perhaps too small to exist, done in glittering disco-ball silver, with chunky platform boots making her even /taller/ and, for whatever reason, the exact same pseudo-Nazi hat she always wears. She already had the Farrah hair, too, so that didn't need the slightest change.
As Giorgio Moroder thumps on the soundsystem, she continues to warm up for the fight by dancing dirty, waiting to catch sight of any of her fellow participants.
It isn't hard to catch sight of the Biggest Man of Them All. Mister Big, a big man by anyone's definition, strolls in when he's good and ready for it. The joint is dancing it up, and the music is pumping -- and he simply can't disappoint and stick out too badly! Look at him walk around with those two pretty ladies on his arms, wearing that fluffy coat, that vintage waistcoat, even flared pants and loafers! He's even pulled a hat with a feather from somewhere, and...
Waaaaaaait a minute, that looks suspiciously like what the Sultan of Southtown typically wears, and he fits right in! "Man, this is my kind of scene," his deep voice announces into the ear of one of the girls he walks around with. He makes for the bar, where a drink is already waiting for him.
The life and times of Mister Big. He may well be a regular here whenever business takes him across the pond. It would seem his form of warming up consists entirely of vodka martini's and groping the ladies, not necessarily in that order.
But the fight is about to begin. The dance floor is being cleared, as event organizers make the final countdown to the first punch.
For Hayato, the choice of outfit is obvious: a leisure suit. Red, of course. It's rather tight across the chest, even with several buttons opened up, leaving the gaudy (fake) gold chain sitting against flesh rather than cloth. On his feet, a pair of white men's platform shoes, adding several inches to his already above average height. Judging by the smoothness of his walk into the disco, he's able to handle moving about in them quite well. A good thing, since falling all over yourself in a fight is not something you want to do. Hayato has, however, skipped out on an afro wig. Why would he want to mar his rugged good looks?
He also appears to be enjoying himself. He pulls off a few moves on the dance floor, to the general approval of the crowd, at the same time working his way toward where he's going to wait for the fight to begin. He shoots Poison a wink a few moments after catching sight of her, and before long he's made his way to the area set aside for the fighters. Well, looks like there's some time to kill. Sure, she's his opponent, but that doesn't mean he can't be friendly, right? "Nice dress."
And what does Dan have. Dan. What would you dress as to emphasize the pure disco fury of this battle? Hmm. Poison of course, dressed shockingly. Mr. Big of course dressed like he usually is, and Hayato going Larry on us all. Dan has much more flair than all three of these folks combined. From the very tip of his pink top-hat, to the tips of his pink dress shoes he looks like the real MC. The original. Unmistakable. Clock around the neck? YOU KNOW IT! That's right. Dan Hibiki has decided that 911 is a joke and with his cane, suit and clock has produced a flavorful entrance. He hands his cane to a person he believes to be a coat check girl but certainly isn't when he swaggers in and puts his white gloved hands in his pockets. His coattails billow at, and beneath those sunglasses his eyebrows raise while he bellows out, "YEAAAAAAAAAH BOYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Heaven help us.
The record skips. Half the club turns to stare vacantly at Dan. One woman squints. Then, after a moment, the music starts up again and people go back to their business.
Speaking of business, Poison decides to mix pleasure and. "Hey there," she says, disentangling herself from her dance partners to come over and adjust Hayato's lapels, getting perhaps uncomfortably close -- or /too comfortably close/. "Been waiting a while for you, big boy -- but if you like my dress, maybe you could have a closer look first." Reaching out, Poison tries to grab Hayato's faux-gold chain, as if to lure him in...
...of course, upon seizing it, she tries to pull him down into a knee lift to the chin. Round one: fight.

"Big, they're getting started!" That would be one of the girl's, eternally helpful, informing the man she's attached to that the fight is starting to unfold. "Man, I know that!" he quickly advises the girl, giving her a slap on the butt for effort. Mister Big, he knows how to treat the ladies.
Knocking back his drink, he and his bevy of beauties, a whole two of them, walk through the dance floor. People are wise enough to move out of his way, a corridor amidst human flesh opening to allow the Sultan his entrance. The girls detach from each side, walking forward.
"This guy's awesome."
"Are you happy now?"
And then they walk away, splitting to either side of the rather pink Dan as they disappear into the background -- ideally, anyway. As for the Biggest Man of All, he's left wondering which dance partner's skull he's going to cave in. He slips his fighting sticks out of the inside of his coat, and casts a wary stare onto Poison and Hayato... leaving himself open if the man in pink opts to dance.

Even Poison can't keep Hayato from being momentarily distracted by Dan's entrance. She gets his attention back quickly enough. He grins as she moves in closer. "Well, hey now-" Whatever he had in mind to say, however, is interrupted by Poison dragging his head down to meet her knee coming up for a solid impact with Hayato's jaw. He manages to pull back and yank his chain free afterwards, but he's still got a grin on his face as he straightens back up, barking out a laugh. "You've got some spirit! I like that." He rubs the back of his hand across his mouth, then glances at it. No blood, so everything's fine!
Reaching behind his back, Hayato pulls his shinai out from the loop he'd slipped it through. "It's a shame to have to hurt a pretty woman, but you don't need to worry about me going easy on you. I know we all didn't come here for the dancing. But I still haven't introduced myself to your partner. Don't worry, I'll be back!" Hayato flashes Poison another grin, then moves forward to step past her and start heading toward Mr. Big. But he doesn't /just/ step past her. He didn't say he wouldn't go easy on her. His right crosses his chest, then sweeps back with a shinai blow aimed to hit Poison under the ribs. It's not the most forceful blow he could deliver, but then he /is/ moving past her. He still expects it to be enough to hold her off for a moment, and help clear his path. And then Mr. Big will likely see the grinning Phys Ed teacher gunning for him.
Dan looks over at Hayato for a second as he gets himself kneed in the chin. He shakes his head and walks right up to Mr. Big. With a lowering of his eyebrows, he puts his left foot forward and stands contra balanced, bringing a white gloved hand up to his chin. He tugs it with his index finger and thumb making a deep 'Hmmming' sound, "Nice look, I can see you've been trained in style. But there's something missing. Just can't put my finger on it. Anyhow, I guess this is where I throw a punch at you and something magical happens."
His toes come up before tapping down on the disco floor, "I'm just not feelin' it though. I mean damn with all that fur around your shoulders it's like I'd be ticking off PETA. Tell you what. I'm just going to like come at you with the worst thing I can think of and you do something crazy. Make all these fans think I'm on the ropes then I'll have an underdog victory. It'll happen either way so you might as well just agree to it....YEAH?"
And so Dan, takes off his top hat and zings it right for Mr. Big. Okay so, I guess he's Flava-Kung Lao or something equally ridiculous. A real Pimp vs The Pink Pimp. So this is what it's like when doves cry?

The shinai /cracks/ into Poison's stomach as Hayato passes -- she winces, falling forward a bit and clutching her stomach, letting out a sharp hiss of pain. But quickly, she turns, attempting to grab the shinai and pull Hayato back toward her. "Someone not afraid to play rough on the first date," she says, her voice deep but feminine and overwhelmingly coy, "I like that. It goes well with the... mmm, macho vibe."
Poison attempts to whirl Hayato back toward her by that shinai. "Sorry for... putting my hands all over your pole," she says, maintaining the smug tone, not even trying to appear starkly menacing. "And the boo-boo on your head... well, I'm more than willing to give a little head in return, honey." This is the last thing she says before she surges forward with a massive headbutt -- her hair is so thickly sprayed and styled that it barely even shakes, even as her hat flies off.

Mister Big finds himself looking at Dan as the man in the pink suit walks up and starts talking. And talking. And talking. His mouth opens several times, an attempt made to get a word in edgewise, but Dan won't give him a chance! His mouth closes with a click. He decides that Dan is rude.
But do something crazy? Now that's something that Mister Big can agree to do, however unspoken his agreement becomes. That hat's flying at him. Without really thinking, the Sultan reciprocates. The floppy hat with the feather, what some may indeed call a pimp hat, is removed. He winds it up as the pink top hat continues to spin towards him. With a grunt he releases, the voluminous eating the top hat and continuing on towards Dan!
Naturally, Mister Big's arm follows through afterwards, a single finger pointed to the ceiling as his opposing foot slides to one side. "Yeah!" he says, striking the first of many disco poses.

How bold! Hayato is pretty good with the ladies (or so he thinks, at any rate), but he's finding himself a bit out of his depth. Luckily for Hayato, he never lets that stop him in life or in combat! The teacher gets dragged back by Poison's grip on his shinai, but it's not too hard to guess that there's going to be a followup so he's preparing for it even as he's spun around. And when Poison attempts to headbutt him Hayato takes advantage of his height advantage. (The shoes certainly don't hurt.) He quickly straightens up and braces himself, leading to Poison's head bouncing off of his chest rather than his face. "Well, if you really want me to stick around /that/ badly..."
Hayato snaps his arm back to prepare for another shot under the ribs, but this time he doesn't stop there. He follows through on the swing, dragging the shinai across Poison's body before coming back from the opposite direction for another blow, this one to the ribcage. Then he swings his arm up high before bringing it down in an angled blow toward her collarbone.

DAMN, That was just a hat? SHOOT! DOG! DAMN! Dan goes realing, the feather tickling his nose all something fierce and causing him to SNEEZE HIMSELF INTO A NEARBY SPEAKER UNIT! Damn! This guy's special?!??! That Guy isn't called Big for nothing.
Extracting himself from the wreckage of the PA Dan looks at Big for a second and goes, "Yikes fella I said, underdog victory. I like the way you're selling it though. Shoooooooooooooshh. Whatever at least I'll be able to say that I withstood the hat." No he didn't,"
Dan gets on the attack with three aerial roundhouses in the air. If Mr. Big is doing it this way, Dan is doing it THIS way. If only there was some way he could shout his name in three syllables, Oh wait, I got it!
As he soars through the air twisting his legs majestically his lungs bellow through the disco, "DAN dan KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK YEAH BOYEE!"

The first swipe of the shinai drags up Poison's body in a nasty little hit -- unfortunately for Hayato, Poison just takes the opportunity to lunge in closer. "Mmm, you really know how to handle that stiff sword," she says as she avoids the second lashing by putting Hayato into a headlock. He gets a faceful that is perhaps not altogether unpleasant, aside from the rough, uncomfortable disco-ball texture of Poison's dress. "Hope you don't mind me taking you for a ride." She runs, pulling Hayato with her, and when she heads toward the bar, she /leaps/ -- a human being should not be able to jump like that in a dress like that /or/ shoes like that. The goal, naturally, is to keep Hayato's head in her grasp as she leaps over the bar -- and as she descends, to introduce his face to the splattered-with-sloshed-cocktails bartop.

The feedback from Dan's collision with the speaker earns a sour grimace on the face of the posing Mister Big, who settles down into a simple fighting rhythm. When the opposing fighter crows about the triumph with the hat, the Syndicate's Steersman simply shrugs his arms out to each side, mouth opening to say something.
But again, Dan doesn't give him a chance. The man in pink launches on the attack, and without proper time to get out of the way -- he was going to say something cool, no doubt! -- he instead opts to step forward, right into the path of the roundhouses.
Subsequently driven back by the roundhouses, the Biggest Man of All weathers the flurry with a few grunts and one pained 'ow' as he comes out the other side of Hurricane Dan. "Oooh, I guess your name is Dan, hmm?" he asks, knowing full well that it is. He plays the part of dumb pretty well at times. Those sticks in each hand lift. "Well if you're the underdog, you won't mind if I take a moment for a drum solo, yeah?"
The disco music blares on, and Mister Big uses Dan like a drum kit, in time with the rhythm of the boogity beats!
Hayato blinks in surprise as he's grabbed by the head and dragged through the air. Well, this isn't all that bad, actua- then, the impact with the bar. The teacher grunts as his head is slammed down into a thin sprinkling of water mixed with splashes of various kinds of alcohol. It doesn't smell very pleasant. Nor feel very pleasant, for that matter. With another grunt he slams his hands down on top of the bar and shoves himself back up to a standing position and away from Poison. As he does so, he notices that he happens to have landed right next to a few unopened beers. Well, hell... Howard Enterprises is hiring the place for the night, right? They'll pick up the tab!
Snatching up one of the beers, Hayato raises it to his mouth and with a smooth motion pops the cap off with his teeth and flicks it back down onto the bar. He takes a long swig, then exhales with a long, "Aaaaah." He shakes his head, then glances back at Poison, looking even more energetic than /before/ having his face slammed into the bar. "Want one?" He grabs another beer and whips it down so that it slides along the bar toward Poison. Not /at/ her, though! That would be a terrible thing. Wasting booze like that.

Dan says, "Well I thi-AW DAMN!" Boom tisk boom tisk boom tisk boom tisk boom tisk drowns out the rest of Dan's words, and unfortunately it's not the speakers causing that sound to ring though his head but Big's pugilistic percussionism. Well, how unfortunate for Dan that his plan to sit there and take it like a man has caused him to sit there and take it like a man. Guess what, men hurt too. Maybe you didn't think about that in your hectic workaday world, but men hurt TOO. Dan in particular. Damn.
As the drums let up into the louder synth trumpet stings and violin pads, Dan is finally able to think straight for a little bit at least. He looks at Big and then looks at Poison and then back at Big, "....I'm not saying I'm afraid or anything of anything but I think our dance card mighta gotten screwed up a little bit. Heh. Heh." Crap, the clock on his chest. It's dead, "....."
"Oh no you didn't," with that Dan springs into action, hopping a few inches away from Big and his drumsticks before launching himself forward.
A fist goes out, "HISSHOU!"
Then comes a wild flurry of punches. Bunches of punches. High ones, center mass, low blows. Every punch imaginable. It looks like Dan is pulling out all the stops, each punch punctuated with exclamations. "BURAI! RAI! RAI! RAI! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!"
Finally it ends whether or not a single of those punches hits. A small hop uppercut. Punctuated with a word? You betcha, "KEN!" Man it's a shame he's not here to take the blows for Dan instead, huh?
As the beer is slid toward her, Poison stand behind the bar, checking her hair in the mirror. When it comes close enough, she slaps it away, and it lands on the floor, popping and fizzing. "/Really/, honey -- a beer? Not very romantic." She reaches out as someone throws her hat over, catching it like a frisbee and using the mirror behind the bar to make sure it's on just right before turning back to Hayato: "A lady like myself deserves /much/ better."

Having fixed her hat, Poison tugs Hayato close again, leaning forward over the bar. "So you never told me your name, honey..." The cameraman decides this is boring and turns to watch Big and Dan instead.
Playing the Dan like a gorilla playing the drums would (link shortly), Mister Big loses himself in the rhythm. It's not every day he gets to just pound the crap out of someone with his sticks, but there it is! A happy day for Mister Big!
"Oooh, you think you want to fight the hottie instead?" he questions, looking down at Dan's clock. Then the man in pink leaps back and onto the attack. An annoyed sound escapes the Sultan's lips. It sounds like 'tch.' He figures the strike to be linear, thus he lifts his arms to block.
But boy, something sure goes wrong there! The fist slips right past his defense, and then he finally feels what it's like to be in the middle of a hurricane full of fists! A fisting hurricane, if you will. It drives Mister Big right back, the glittering chrome dome on the back foot as the final uppercut strikes his jaw. The big man reels, falling backwards into the crowd of nearly dancing spectators.
Strike!
Pushed back to his feet by the crowd, Mister Big coolly observes Dan as he fingers his jaw. Nothing broken, no gold teeth missing -- or there to begin with. "If you want to swap dance partners..." he begins, waving Dan off as the Biggest Man of All heads over to the bar-- then he suddenly turns around, PSYCHE.
Closing the distance, he swings both of his fighting sticks at Dan, one from above and the other from below, a classic chopstick maneuver. "You've got the look, but show me your moves! Your... disco moves!"

Dan throws up his hands, in an attempt to stave off the staves. Nice little wordplay there right? For a buck or two I can teach you later but enough about that. Let's talk about where Dan went wrong. You see, he put his hand up to stop the high chopstick. That was probably a big blunder. What happened is that bottom chopstick came in and racked the area between his thighs. Just like a crab's weak spot it did MASSIVE DAMAGE. So much so that the Saikyo Fighter balks and coughs, falling to his knees and pounding the ground, "DAAAAAMN. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN..."
He looks up at Big for a moment and says, "Niiiiice.. I mean ouch GATT DAMN! Hoooh boy."
Getting back to his feet shakily, he runs towards Big. He's still got fight in him. NEVER GIVE UP DAN, YOU'RE A CHAMPION DUCK!
"KOURYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKEN!"

As a fellow man, and the Biggest Man of All, Mister Big is left grimacing as the bottom stick hits for massive damage. "Oooh, my aim's a little off," he notes as the man in pink falls to the ground and pounds the disco floor, waggling the offending stick. In a miracle of optical illusions, the fighting stick appears to be made of rubber!
The reprisal isn't long in coming. That champion duck keeps coming, to the quack quack quack of a flying V formation no doubt, and it's an uppercut that collides into the Sultan of Southtown. Who doesn't seem to have moved an inch to evade the strike, instead taking it full on to allow Dan to get nice and close.
Knocked into the air, Mister Big rolls out of it while still floating, landing neatly on both legs like a miniature Rory Calhoun. "Are you happy now?" he asks his opponent, gathering himself for a quick dive forward. And what a dive it is, a spiraling one aimed at Dan's notorious legs, with both arms extended in front of him. He'll dive headlong into danger, stick-first!

Now the Chop -- no no, the CHOP, now the CHOP proves itself to be GOD in those moments. It swings in, and Mister Big, he thinks he can just leap out of the way after barreling into those upheld hands. It doesn't quite work out that way, no, no.
THE CHOP proves its supremacy over all mice and men, thundering into Mister Big in what can only be described as a HATE CRIME. Thudding to the floor, the Sultan of Southtown spends a few moments staring up at the ceiling before he gets back to his feet. "Alright, that's it," he growls the words out in that deep voice of his. "Now I'm gonna get in your face."
But first, he wants to puff at a cigar. Pulling one out, pre-snipped, he lights it up with a genuine wood match, puffing away contentedly. "I bet you want a puff on this, huh?" he teases Dan, blowing smoke rings to prove just how cool he is.

Pulling his hands down to his sides, and making his coattails flap out once more as energy pulls in around his hands. His pink suit is lit up in Cyan energy as he growls out a fierce very fierce super fierce growl. As he puts all his energy into it, he releases the ultimate Saikyo Technique. A huge fireball comes out of his hand! It's terribly huge! Huger than a VW Rabbit.

Now that, that's what Mister Big was hoping for. "Oooh, I could use a hand," he sounds around that cigar, waiting to see just what kind of offense the man in pink is going to muster. And there it is.
Moving tremendously slow.
His shoulders slump, and a sigh of smoke leaves his mouth as he waits for the proper moment to interrupt the fireball with one of his own. He glances at the expensive wristwatch that's funnily enough located on his wrist. He taps his foot, growing impatient. "Alright, enough," he says, the cigar staying in his mouth as he strikes his sticks together.
But unlike a man of the wilderness, it isn't sparks that fly from the meeting of sticks. It's electricity, chi lancing down each weapon as two great balls of lightning appear. "Goodbye," he declares, thrusting both sticks forward. The balls merge.
One giant ball of lightning streaks forward, swallowing the ultimate Saikyo Technique and continuing on! SAIKYO I'M COMING, the ball doesn't really shout, it's just a nod to the immortal words of Nic Cage (link shortly).

Mister Big watches Dan roll. It's somewhat satisfying, particularly to the back beat of the disco music, or the word on the street that the fire in your heart is... not out. Dan gets back up. "Well... crap," the Sultan says to himself, tapping one stick against his leg as he considers his options.
The one he picks is, of course, to attack. Stepping forward, he aims to bust a move right across Dan's skull, two sticks becoming one as a thundering strike descends from the heavens like an angry fist from God.
Only it's more like a staff, being swung like a baseball bat right at the man in pink's forehead.

Dan dashes to the side as Mr. Big starts to attack him. With a smile he says, "Yeah, that's what we call dancing! DISCO FEVER BABY! SAIKYO THUNDER BABY! OTHER THINGS THAT ARE BABIES, BABY! IT'S TIME FOR AN ALL HONG KONGREAN BEATDOWN! SAIKYO STYLE FOR LIFE, LOVE TO MY MOMS AND DADS UP ABOVE!"
Okay so a serious contusion is probably somewhere in DAN's Brainmeats as he runs towars Mr. Big like a FREIGHT TRAIN, and reprises his TRIPLE ROUNDHOUSE ACTION FROM BEFORE. GOOD IDEA? No way! But DAN'S ON A ROLL!

And what a roll he's on! It's the kind of roll that sends Dan careening right into Mister Big even as the biggest man of all makes the biggest dodge of all -- right into feet! "Stinky!" comes out somewhere amidst the three roundhouses, as he's buffeted back and sent tumbling across the dance floor. He slides on his coat, eventually stopping to shake his head. "Cocky little freak," he mumbles, pushing himself back up.
Cracking his neck rather loudly, those shades stare Dan down. There's a slight shake to his head. "Looks like this is going just as you described, underdog," he announces in that voice, before striking sparks with the sticks once more.
This time though, he dashes closer -- and carves the air, a wash of flame projecting out of the ground between them in a rush for that delicious pink suit!

Dan grins as he dives to the other side, hopping up on a table and doing the hustle. "WHOOK WHOOK. WHOOK WHOOK."
With that Dan from the table, puts his hand out with such WRENCHING FORCE that it looks like if it hits it will break not only DAN'S ARM, but his SPIRIT as well! But it's worth it if it even does a thing that he thinks it will do. DAN HIBIKI. STRIKE SOLIDLY... WITH YOUR

And Mister Big, again evaded, is left to watch as his opponent leaps onto a table and starts dancing. There's a put-upon sigh, and without further recourse, he starts jiving as well, one hand going up and to the right, then diagonally down and to the left. The rules of these fights are somewhat silly at times, and he has a feeling Geese put him into this disco inferno deliberately.
But when Dan leaps, and shouts those bewildering words, it's time for the biggest cheek twitch of them all. "Man, fuck this," he says, gathering his sticks together once more. They link together somehow, forming that staff.
And with a lunge forward, Mister Big meets Dan halfway, driving that staff forward in a thrust, just as that fist glances off the side of the biggest cheekbones of them all. But it's the thrust you have to watch out for!
Ahh, push it!
Dan goes flying backwards, tumbling in the air behind himself, as he goes. With a thought, he grabs at Big's shoulders. Trying to grip on to him as he flies, Modifying a throw right on the dance floor for everyone to see Saikyo Style's never say die attitude come at them full force! It's time, Dan Hibiki. Are you a failure or an Awesome Warrior. It's always the latter! THE LATTER For this awesome.. AWESOME throw.
Throw it.

Unfortunately, gripping those shoulders proves temporarily impossible for Dan Hibiki! "Nice try, playa," Mister Big compliments, giving the staff a further push to ensure that Dan, poor Dan, continues on his way without dragging the biggest man of all along for the ride!
Wiping some of the sweat from his brow, it would seem that the Sultan of Southtown is due for some time at the bar now, so the other couple can take to the dance floor. "I should hire that clown for my next party, he'd be great with that gorilla that plays the drums," he notes to one of the girls, the two joining Mister Big for a quiet drink.
In fact, if Dan gets back up, one of the girls even invites him over! Maybe it's not a total loss for the Hibiki Warrior!
As for the other half of the fight, if you want to see what happened there you're going to have to wait for it to come out on DVD under the SNF Gone Wild label.
Nah, not really. Hayato's here to fight; booze and chatting up attractive women is just a side benefit. He briefly mourns the waste of booze when the beer is knocked to the floor, but quickly rallies. "Name's Hayato. And what about you? Oh, but you can wait a second to answer. Wouldn't want you to be distracted." And why is that?
Because a moment later Hayato draws back his right arm shifting his hand so that the shinai points out to the side, then brings his arm swinging forward in an upward angled punch aimed to ram into Poison's stomach and knock her back. While Poison in close proximity might not be that unpleasant, Hayato is rough, not stupid. He's well aware that allowing her to linger there is probably going to result in some pain.

"UNGH!" Poison is launched backward by the force of the punch -- it even lifts her off her feet a bit, sending her toppling backward into the shelves of liquor behind the bar. Having a tall woman slam into them does the predictable thing, though, and breaks them -- the shelves tip downward, and Poison is subjected to an onslaught of bottles that tumble and crash. It only takes a few seconds for her to be covered in expensive spirits and bits of glass, a few nicks dotting her bared flesh (and there's quite a bit of it) with red blood.
"Mm," Poison says as she comes to, staring up at Hayato from her prone position. "You're so strong -- I just hope you don't mind girls who are a little, ah-heh, dirty." She wicks wet, pink hair out of her face and smiles.
But at the same time, she's producing a switchblade from, honestly, who knows where. And with a sudden burst of speed, she flicks the blade open, hurling it at Hayato!

Hayato has dealt with students from Gedo, which means he's had knives pulled on him more than once. If someone tries to stab him, he can usually painfully demonstrate why just having a weapon doesn't make you a dangerous fighter. Having a knife thrown at him is a bit more tricky, but still nothing he hasn't dealt with. The blade comes in from his left side, making it tricky to get his shinai in place in time to deflect it, so instead he just uses his arm. Dangerous? Perhaps. But in practice it works out that Hayato manages to strike the knife just below the blade, sending it flipping away with only a small nick to his arm.
The teacher grins at Poison as he lowers his arm again. "Oh, don't worry. I can handle it." He then takes a couple steps back, without turning his back on Poison. That can't possibly be any good. And yes, it is telegraphed a fair bit when Hayato suddenly charges forward, then leaps into the air feet first toward Poison. He's got plenty of height to clear the bar, but this is probably going to finish off any bottles that weren't smashed when Poison got flung into the shelves. ...And the landing is probably going to be tricky, but Hayato doesn't let little things like that bother him.

The landing is indeed perhaps a bit tricky, considering at Poison attempts to leap into the air and smash her skull into Hayato's mid-kick. This doesn't work out for anyone, really, but least of all Poison -- when the two hit the wall in their aerial death-dance, Poison slams into it first, breaking more shelves, and then goes down first too -- Hayato is protected from all that stinging alcohol and broken glass by Poison's toned body. Mumbling from under the gym teacher, she spits out a bit of blood and says, "On top, eh? I like you more and more..."
Well, at least Hayato had something to break his fall. Probably made the impact all the worse for Poison, though. Hayato shifts his head a bit, but unless he actually gets up it's clear that he's not going to be able to even see Poison, let alone try to continue his attack. And so he clambers back up to his feet. He doesn't go alone, though. As Hayato gets back to his feet, he reaches down to try to quickly scoop up Posion, then lift her up over his head as he rapidly stands up straight. "Let's head back out toward the dance floor, hmm?" And then he puts action to words by tossing Poison right back on out.

Poison is wobbly -- bloody and beaten, with wet hair streaked with red hanging over her face. She gamely tries to commandeer Hayato's grip, but it's too little and too late, as the teacher throws her over the bar. She lands roughly on the dance floor, breaking one of the colored squares and skidding along, leaving a trail of blood from various leaking wounds -- she doesn't look to have popped any major arteries, but she's still at about .8 Muta on the blood scale.
It looks like she might be beaten, as it's a few moments where Poison just lies still.
And then, suddenly, she lurches upward, forcing herself to a stance on shaky feet. Poison glares over at Hayato with a wicked grin, hiking her dress down and casually spitting a thick glob of dark blood onto the floor. "Okay," she says, "Let's do this properly now."
Well, geez. Hayato's feeling kind of bad now. Poison is the one who drew a knife, yet she's the one who's ended up bleeding all over the place. Somehow it doesn't seem fair. But then, as they say, all's fair in love and war. Shortly after throwing her, Hayato places a hand on the bar and vaults himself over, then takes a few steps out until he's reached the dance floor. Then he waits, unsure if Poison is actually going to be getting back up.
But get up she does, and so Hayato grins and taps his shinai against his shoulder. "Good to see you're not already worn out. Wouldn't want this to end so soon!" Suddenly, blazing orange chi begins to radiate off of Hayato as he pumps his left arm and curls his hand into a fist. "I've still got plenty of energy left!" And indeed, that much is obvious by looking at him. Although, on the other hand, Hayato almost /always/ looks like he's brimming with energy.

Poison grins as she watches Hayato's display, pulling her hair back out of her face and shimmying -- swaying her hips just so, with an ensuing plink-plink of glass being shaken out of her dress and onto the floor. She seems to be taking her time, catching her breath, and generally mentally preparing herself, all to the thumping strains of disco music. "Oh, come on," she says toyingly, assuming a defensive fighting stance, "I think so much more of a man who's willing to make the first move."

The blazing aura around Hayato slowly fades as he begins to stride forward. "Well, if you insist." He grins, then suddenly switches from a casual stroll to an explosive charge, quickly covering the distance to Poison with his long legs. His shinai goes from resting on his shoulder to being held out to his side as he speeds up, lifting up as he draws ever closer. By the time he closes with Poison, Hayato has the shinai up high, ready to bring it crashing down onto her shoulder with full force. It's a blow that will probably smash up the floor if Poison manages to get out of the way, because Hayato is intending to follow all the way through.

Poison is a broken-down wreck who's getting by on sass -- but she refuses to let that really show through until it's made screamingly obvious by the massive swing of the shinai cracking her across the face so hard that she bodily spins and lands on her skull -- which /also/ smashes up a bit of the floor, shattering a panel of dancefloor glass. She lays there, the spotlight beneath changing from blue to red, giving her battered face a slightly hellish tint. Reaching between her breasts, she takes out a small piece of paper, and flicks it at Hayato as she passes out. "Call... me...*"

Hayato catches the scrap of paper as it's thrown at him, though he manages to get a nasty little papercut on one finger in the process. Thankfully he doesn't get much blood on the paper itself, and casually tucks it into his pocket. Now then, where's this Mr. Big character, and how is Hayato's partner Dan doing? The gym teacher turns around and scans the disco for them, a process that doesn't take very long. He then begins to purposefully stride toward Mr. Big.

And while those two have been fighting, the victor of the earlier 'duel' has been enjoying his time with his lady friends. Mister Big, he loves the ladies, and it seems that his partner -- one of those ladies, right?? -- hasn't been faring so well. It's one of the girls that bring this to his attention. "Oooh, she's down?" With a grimace around a lit cigar, he pushes himself away from the corner he'd secluded himself into, and sees his opponent waltzing over towards him.
Rather than wait any time, he uses the gusto that his cigar -- and an earlier feat against Dan -- that lingers within his system. Gathering his chi, the Sultan stands his ground, cutting one of his sticks through the air in an upwards slash. Sparks fly, and a blast of fire ignites -- hurtling towards Hayato!
"I hope you at least got her number!"

Once Mister Big starts looking in his direction Hayato begins to pick up the pace. The element of surprise may be lost, but perhaps momentum will still be able to help him out! Although, that does lead to him running directly toward the blast sent flying his way by Big. He shifts his weight in mid run, twisting around on foot. Swinging to the side he spins past the attack and comes right back into a run that's bringing him ever closer to Big.
Once he gets close enough, Hayato reaches out with his left hand in an attempt to grab Mister Big by the collar. "About time we got introduced. Name's Hayato Nekketsu." With a grin he yanks on the gangster's collar, shaking him back and forth a few times before bringing his right arm around in a swing aimed to plow his fist into the center of Mr. Big's face.

Still poised in that stance after launching the streak of fire, there's a sour grunt from the depths of Mister Big's stomach as he watches his opponent spin by the projectile. "Da--" he begins, only to have the collar of his delightfully fluffy coat snagged. Instinctively, he attempts to shove Hayato away and evade the punch, but it fails; he catches the fist on his right cheek, and tumbles backwards, arms pinwheeling for a moment as he maintains his balance.
"I wish I could say it was nice to meet you, but I'm going to be feeling that one for a few hours," the Biggest Man of All replies, a sour grimace giving way to that broad grin. Waggling both of his fighting sticks, he considers simply ending it here; he can feel that he's near his limit. "I get the feeling we'll be having a drink shortly," he points that very fact out, seemingly good-natured. It's the disco fever running through his veins, a veritable inferno just waiting to erupt!
But not yet! For the moment, he instead leaps forward for what may be his last dance, stylishly twirling both sticks end over end in front of him in clenched fists. It's more a dance than a feint; the attack proves quite linear, as he aims to smack Hayato right in the mouth with one of those black beauties.

A grin passes over Hayato's face as Mister Big comes charging toward him. "Drinks sound like a good idea!" Sure, he had a beer already but that's only just barely getting started. But before that, he's going to have to take down this problem standing in his way! Standing in his way, and now coming at him with painful looking spinning sticks. Hayato clenches his fists, still grinning even with bald pain bearing down on him.
When Mister Big gets close enough Hayato suddenly lunges forward. One arm comes up to catch the wrist of the stick wielding hand, while Hayato's other fist explodes with blazing orange chi as Hayato drives it into Big's face. And then keeps on going. Hayato follows all the way through until he drives Mister Big into the floor, slamming the back of the gangster's head into the dancefloor.
Now that is how one ends a fight! While Mister Big had high hopes to at least touch his opposition, it seems that the notorious Hayato has other notions entirely! Once more, the Sultan of Southtown eats a fist, this time with an added chi-laced punch -- or as the case may be, more of a follow-through that leaves the big man eating dance floor!
"Mrgghph," he manages, his face smushed to one side thanks to Hayato's fist. When said fist finally recoils, he instead laughs, collecting his cigar from the floor next to him.
"Ahh, enough, enough," the Syndicate's steersman throws in the towel, not wanting to get his face hurt any further. Getting back to his feet, he waves a hand, throwing in the towel. "You win the dance-off. Are you happy now?" Winning makes most people happy, but it seems that losing a match of this magnitude isn't that important to the Biggest Man of All! What a big man he is, taking it like a man!
"Now let's have some drinks, hmm?"
His lady friends walk out of the background to the fighting stage, joining him as he groggily ambles towards the bar.

Hayato blinks as Mister Big gets back up... but doesn't try to continue the fight. Now, that would be disappointing, except he did bring up the idea of drinks. Now, that sounds like a good idea! And, hey, it /is/ his victory! Right? The gym teacher stands there for a few moments, but then a spotlight shines on to him and the announcers start making the final pronouncement on the fight. Well, all's well that ends well! And then, of course, there's Poison's number in his pocket. With the victory announcements taken care of Hayato himself ambles over to the bar. Time to celebrate the victory!
