ChaeLim - To Catch a Criminal: Part One

Description: Choi Bounge is up to no good! And by 'no good' we mean he's preparing for a supposed Neo League match. Can Chae Lim unleash some Kaphwan style GREAT JUSTICE, or will she be shown that she's not yet ready for the task of babysitting Choi?



This was it. Choi's ninth match in the Neo League. He was almost a veteran now with these matches. While he wasn't the top-tier fighter, he had the honor of having the most face time. Eight Matches. Three Wins. Four Losses. And one Draw. Unfortunately, everyone above him had beaten him already. And below him... Ryu was a demon. Roberto had eaten him alive before too. Setsuka had nailed him this league (not in the good way), and Chae Lim had gotten her 8th place position from shanking the midget. Below that, the numbers get more wild, but Choi had fought himself in a corner. Only the lower ranking individuals were left, and he was their prize, not the other way around.

There was a reason why the midget cared about the league. The tournament tolerated criminals. Not condone, but tolerate. Since he was on the run from Interpol, this was very important. As long as he fought, no one would bother him. It was just like with Birdie. Fighting meant safety. Nobody would be crazy enough to break Tourney rules to capture him. It simply wasn't done. And thus, here he was in the lockers of Hyundai Fitness, situated in Mokdong, Korea.

Korea. Choi was back home again. He considered this as he sat on the only silver bench in the room, retrieving his claws from his special box. Choi had run out of cheap ways of getting points. So now, he was preying on the new fighters. This was going to be his fight. Fresh blood. Some sort of Savate wielder that mixed it up with lighting-themed Chi bolts. Halfway decent. But cocky. Typical French lady. Still, thought the little man, there were other fun things about French women. Adjusting the glove on his hand, he could only grin. 30 minutes.

Only 30 minutes until it was time for the real pleasure.

It isn't truly breaking the rules of the Neo League if one accosts him prior to a match, is it? Chae Lim doesn't believe so, but then again she's never once read the entire fine print for such things. It has never been an issue before now.

Since reading the article in the newspaper about Choi and this man Jiro Kasagi, the Korean girl has kept a vigilante eye upon the midget, watching his rise in the League and noting that none of his last several fights have bothered to do the right thing and turn him over to the authorities.

So she watched.

She waited.

Eventually he would have to return to Korea for a match.

Eventually is today. Having caught wind that Choi Bounge is scheduled for a match here at the Hyundai Fitness location in Mokdong, she has made her way to the gym. At first she was rather inconspicuous, wearing the same uniform that is handed out to all members - black shorts, and a red top that denotes her as female (the men, of course, getting blue tops).

Now it is time to do GREAT JUSTICE, in the style of her teacher and hero, Kim Kaphwan! So it is that Chae Lim struggles to burst through the security men that have been posted outside of the locker room. The kerfuffle is watched by those working out and most definitely heard within the locker room. She doesn't care. It's time to kick that scrawny midget in the kiester and rehabilitate him once more, forcing him to turn himself in to Interpol.

The door bangs open, and she quickly slams it shut behind her, throwing the lock into place as she does. Hands settle to her hips and she peers around a row of lockers, looking for the man and seriously hoping that he's dressed and decent already.

*Slam*

Choi looked up from his bench. That's strange. The fight didn't start for 25 minutes. Maybe there was an update. Maybe it would change into a SNF. Like MUD WRASSLIN. In pudding. JELLO pudding. While NAKED! The midget leaps from his bench, and steps around the lockers, looking towards the door. "Hey! Buddy Boy! What's with the interruption? I could have been naked right now you kno-"

The midget lets loose a startled squeak. "CHAE LIM?! What the HELL are you doing here?!" The little man howls, stepping backwards nervously. "I mean, you don't work here, unless..." Choi looks confused, and then he does it. That twisted smile. That horrible, sick, twisted smile. And then, adjusting his hat, he slowly approaches the female with a very forward look on his face. He grins, and somehow slithers out these words clearly.

"Oh, ~Chae Lim~, I never knew you ~felt~ that way about me~"

While Jell-O pudding wrestling could very well be an interesting event in Saturday Night Fight, from the look on the girl's face this is most certainly NOT the case today. Upon spying that Choi actually IS dressed (and thank all the deities in heaven for that one), the Korean girl shakes her head.

"What the HELL am I doing here? I would think you would know that by now." Chae Lim shifts away from the door so that she can get the midget in her full line of site. Then she falls into stance. "I'm here for GREAT JUSTICE! Just like Master Kim would rain down upon you, were he privy to the fact you were wanted by INTERPOL!"

Somehow, this time, his irksome little words just bounce right off of her, not even getting a blush. It would seem that when she has a purpose, she's not all that easily embarrassed.

Choi's lusty gaze turns very, very cold when Chae Lim mentions Kim Kaphwan. "... No..." He couldn't believe it. Chae Lim was ditzy. She was young. And she was just a young girl. The midget never suspected she would actually take the Kim lines seriously. His sons did, but they were off doing their own thing. Jhun and May Lee... they were gone. No one was around to enforce the justice. But no. Chae Lim was too young, too inexperienced. But she did. She... She took on the justice.

The midget rose his claws up, lowering into a horse stance. "You stupid little slut... You actually bought that garbage Kim was spewing?" The little man snaps, growing more and more intense. The GREAT JUSTICE line made him VERY nervous. If she was going Kim Kaphwan on him... that could mean some very bad things. "Look, security is going to hunt you down, this is illegal, you CAN'T DO THIS!" The little man screams, hacking the air violently. He was trying to scare her.

If only because she scared him.

Twitch.

Ditzy? No. Young? Yes. Chae Lim is well aware that she's not the BEST Kim Kaphwan styled Tae Kwon Do fighter out there. Surely Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon are both better skilled than she is. Certainly May Lee has had more training... but as she has been able to get in touch with none of these, it leaves the GREAT JUSTICE doing up to her. If she fails? She will just try again.

What has made her twitch though, in a very visible way, is one little word. He went and called her a slut.

"Master Kim has never spewed garbage about anything! He does what he does for GREAT JUSTICE! To make the world a better place. What you have done, Choi Bounge, is bad. For this you shall pay, and you WILL turn yourself in to Interpol and get this corrected!" Taking a deep breath, the Korean girl leaps toward him firing off two rather rapid axe kicks in order to knock the small man to the ground.

Choi's gamble did not pay off. Chae Lim, unfortunately, had taken it all in. The training. She was more than just an expert at Tae Kwon Do. She was now the herald of GREAT JUSTICE. And this disturbed Choi greatly. This meant... she would lose the ability to fear. She would become a champion of all that was great. And soon... Choi would be captured again.

No.

The midget swiftly sidesteps both axe kicks, keeping his horizontal movement going. He rotates to Chae Lim's flank, and hisses. "You stupid girl! I can't turn myself back into Interpol! They'll send me to jail for what I did! And what about poor Jiro..." The midget snarls, putting his back squarely against the locker. He leaps up, and kicks off the locker. Through the air, he spins longways, whirling like a drill. Claws forward, he was attempting to clip the girl as he switched sides. He needed to break for the door... fast.

Chae Lim? Herald of GREAT JUSTICE? Mini-herald, perhaps. She's nowhere near being a full-fledged Kim Kaphwan, and this is quite easily shown when the little man manages to avoid both of her axe kicks. Heaving a sigh, she spins to face him. "They should send you to jail for what you di--" Twirling back around she makes an honest attempt to evade the spinning claws, but they rake through the material of her shirt, leaving a streak of bloody claw marks beneath torn material. A sharp gasp is made, but the Korean girl does not look like she's given up hope yet.

"Jiro..." Wincing, she brings a hand up to her shoulder to assess the damage. This is not good at all. How can she be threatening GREAT JUSTICE when he's doing more damage to her than she is to him? "... have a theory... he's not the one responsible... you're trying to get him in trouble..."

Lunging forward, she makes a grab for him just as he heads past her. Her intent, of course, to twist and fling him toward a row of lockers.

What Chae Lim fails to realize is that she is the only thing between Choi and Choi Actions. She is the only one bearing the GREAT JUSTICE banner. She may have been the mini-herald, but her responsibility was that of Kim himself. Choi knew this now. And he feared her. However, his rapid fly by manages to knock down his fear a bit. She was still not a master. Choi knew this. Even though she was superior at Tae Kwon Do, Choi still was faster then her.

But then she grabs him.

Hurled into the locker, the midget seems only barely annoyed than hurt. Still, from the loud clang, she had SOME talent in throws. Choi coughs, landing on his feet nimbly. "Me? Are you blaming ME for the murder that Jiro did?" The little man howled furiously. "I only did the arson! And that was for good reasons!" Choi snarled, leaping back towards Chae Lim, this time spinning like a top instead of a drill. Choi was being VERY aggressive, and for good reasons: He knew Chae Lim was agile. It was a trademark of many Tae Kwon Do experts. He was just that on steroids. Claws out flat, he whirled around and around, the little tornado attempting to draw Chae Lim in... to cutting.

That she is the only one able to carry the GREAT JUSTICE banner at the moment is a tad daunting. While she is a prodigy of Kim, she definitely did not think that she would be solely responsible for handling situations like this so soon! Choi seems to fear her, but it is beyond her as to why. Maybe it is her abilities? Perhaps it is her behavior? Whatever the case is, she needs to use this fear to her advantage.

"You, yes! I am blaming you! No one knows the truth but you and Jiro, and I haven't been able to find HIM yet." Dropping back into stance, she watches as the man begins to twirl toward her like a toy top. He's claiming he's only responsible for the fire? "WHAT reasons?" Her body moves in such a way that she avoids most of the cutting, though she's nicked in several places, leaving tiny scratches upon her skin. "Tell me the reasons, Choi, or..." Her body whirls around, her foot lashing out with a swift roundhouse kick. "... so..." And another. "... help..." And a third. "...me..."

Choi's whirling strike is rebuffed, sadly. To return the favor, Choi rebuffs her efforts to investigate WHY. Slowing his spinning, he tears into her arms. The midget was throwing it all out to bring the pressure and pain... but... there was a downside to that.

That downside becomes apparent when SHE brings the pain. The trio of roundhouses kicks catches Choi in a bad position to defend. He brings his arms up, yes, but the first kick just breaks the block, leaving the other two to drive him right into the lockers again. The impact leaves a sizable imprint, and the midget roars furiously AGAIN.

"Help you what? Give Big Daddy Kim more of your sugar?"

Did he just go there?

I think he just went there.

The little Korean pushes off the lockers again, using the relatively small spaces to... bound off the ceiling. Focusing on attack from above than below, the midget launches from the lockers to the top and then down. Claws wound back, he attempted to rake both claws right from Chae Lim's head down to her toes.

Did he just go there?

Chae Lim is left standing there after the roundhouse kicks. Simply staring in complete and utter disbelief at that tiny little man. Her mouth opens up as though to rebuttal his insinuation, yet no words are forthcoming. She's just completely in shock that he would say something like that. She may not be afraid of anything any more, but that insult to Master Kim (never mind to herself) just has her floored.

So much so that she forgets to pay attention to what he's actually DOING. When Choi pinballs off the ceiling, he manages to nearly slice her right open. Her clothes have definitely seen better days, and the long lines of warm blood trickling down her entire backside have her crying out in pain.

This injury causes her body to twitch, and she hits the floor on her knees. The Korean girl is not in good shape at the moment, but she's more determined than ever to bring the midget to GREAT JUSTICE! The only trouble is, she has absolutely no inclination to get up from her kneeling position just yet. Lashes fall closed over her doe brown eyes and she inhales slowly, evenly, just attempting to make the pain subside.

The midget drops from above, and cleaves Chae Lim right along her... well, cleavage. Yes, the midget had unleashed a wild, unpredictable hit. And combined with that insult... well, it was no surprise Chae Lim was floored. But now, she was squatting down, looking forlorn... weak. And the little man could only squeal.

"KYA HEE HEE HOOOOOOOAI! Looks like I'll see you later, toots, if you really want to call it a day!" Choi spins in place one, and gives Chae Lim a salute... before breaking for the door.

Security was busy trying to force open the door, but to no success. The little man, however, was rounding the bend, charging towards the locked door. He didn't want to fight with Chae Lim. He only wanted to get away. And heaven help him if he did.

Actually heaven probably WOULDN'T do him that favor.

Hands covering her face, wiping the blood from it so that she can actually see, the Korean girl turns as she hears the man yell in an almost ecstatic manner. This elicits another sharp cry of pain, the rather apparent crimson wounds oozing with thick rivulets of blood with even the slightest movement.

She simply CANNOT allow him to get away without GREAT JUSTICE being done though!

Reaching her hands upward to take hold of an open locker door, she pulls herself to her feet. Chasing after him, she's not moving AS swiftly as she'd like to be since each step is sending another jolt of pain to her wounds. She can over come this. No. She WILL overcome this.

When she gets close enough, she brings her foot up (with yet another cry of pain) and stomps it down toward Choi. Despite her pain, the foot is sheathed in a translucent wind-style energy and upon hitting the ground it creates an explosion toward the man, which is quickly followed by a large shockwave meant to rattle him away from the door.

Chae Lim only partially successful. When the shockwave breaks across the ground, the midget immediately responds by kicking away from the door. Both blasts miss him, but now the little monster was forced to deal with Chae Lim again.

The little man snickers as the guards pound away at the door. "So, Chae Lim. You really want to kidnap me? What are you going to do, dump me at the Interpol? Kim at least knew that I would get away. YOU think you can babysit me? Huh, toots?"

Choi leers as he brings his claws back. With a high leap, he rolls along the ceiling, and then breaks into a spread arms dive, leg first. Pumping his legs through the air, it should be a very familiar move for Chae Lim: The Phoenix Kick.

Kidnap him? That... really wasn't on the agenda. Deliver him to the police and/or Interpol? Sure! As he mentions that she'd have to BABYSIT him, she begins to rethink her scheme of GREAT JUSTICE! Can she watch the criminal twenty-four-seven? Probably not.

This is a time when she needs Master Kim. He'd know what to do, and he'd likely take care of Choi and make sure the rascal was well behaved, or he'd KICK justice into the criminal.

The Phoenix kick hits her truly, knocking her back against the lockers. Chae Lim frowns a little, then she stares right at Choi. It is the stare of determination.

"Yes."

It is the only verbal response he receives to his question. Does she think she can do it? Sure, she THINKS she can. Can she actually do it? That's a different story entirely, isn't it?

The physical response he gets for that question is a barrage of kicks and knife hand chops. Each attack causes a new pain to tear through her, but she's lashing out with them anyhow. Instead of her usual cries of HA's or HIYAH's, she's making somewhat pained noises to accentuate each kick, but she's trying her best here!

Choi knows that move. The little man bounds off the girl after his kicks land, making his dismount with an extremely delicate touch. Chae Lim was off today. That had to be it. Choi remembered how she was tearing him to shreds that one fight. Maybe it was the surroundings. Most of Choi's victories came from the angles of which he attacked. The additional 'walls', so to speak, gave him a lot more aggressive attack. However, this.. this was dangerous.

Choi didn't have a chance to block, or simply weave. He just keeps falling back. Quickly. Fleeing to the rear as best he could, the little man just kept dancing backwards, letting the chops and kicks fall short of him. He kept going... until he hit the wall. And she didn't stop with him. The midget, panicking, leaps up along the wall, letting the last few kicks nail the wall beneath him. With the aerial game back to him, Choi doesn't mess around. He feebly strikes out with a foot plant towards Chae Lim, attempting to kick off her to get out of the wall pinch he was in.

Kicking off of her isn't going to happen. Chae Lim is a little off her game today, but she's never been a mini-herald for GREAT JUSTICE before. It's a bit overwhelming, is what it is. Yet she is most determined to do her best, despite the challenge before her.

She cannot fail.

If she does fail, she'll just report his last known whereabouts to Interpol, then track him down and try again.

That's what Master Kim would do, only quite possibly without the call to Interpol and a lot more kicking.

The Korean girl easily avoids being used as a stepping stone by tripping over the silver bench. Falling back to the ground, she lets out a scream of frustration. "Whatever you're doing, whatever you're planning, you should REALLY rethink it, Choi! When Master Kim finds out what you're up to, you won't just have MY kicks to deal with!"

This is where she should lash out at him with another snappy kick, right?

Wrong!

Pushing herself up to her feet, feeling like a bloody (and bloodied) fool, she reaches out toward him in the hopes of catching him, swinging him around in a circle, then using him as a bowling ball in order to hit the lockers at the far end of the row.

Master Kim. The name rings in Choi's mind, causing a twinge of fear as he lands. However, he was beginning to sense that Chae Lim's morale was breaking. It was that push of weakness. She didn't seem to be holding together well. And then, he grins. "If Kim cared, he wouldn't be in hiding, would he?"

Why WAS Kim in hiding? The thought disturbed Choi. Was it all a trap? Was it the ultimate test of whether or not Choi was cured? Or maybe it was something worse, oh so much worse. The little man became introspective for a moment. And then he cackled as Chae Lim's hands fell towards him. "Nah, I think he is out smoking the reefer and banging babes!"

Choi takes his claws and with a hard shove, knocks Chae Lim's hands aside. I mean, he actually hooks them, and hurls her momentum past him. With Chae sailing by him. the midget brings his arms close to his body, and flips forward. His leg whirls around with the flip, attempting to drive the heel hard into the back of Chae Lim, possibly breaking her kidney if he managed to hit it just right.

The words get to her. If Kim cared, where is he? Why did he leave the criminal to his own devices? Why was Choi at Interpol with Jiro to begin with, when he IS a known criminal? There are things here that just don't add up. There's something rotten in the state of Mokdong.

It's probably Choi.

With the heel crashing against her back and damaging her kidney, the Korean girl is quickly losing her will to fight. All this damage to her body, in the name of GREAT JUSTICE! Is it worth it? Obviously she believes it is.

Reaching into a locker, she appears to be looking for something. When she finds it, she exclaims, "AHA!" God, she's in a lot of pain, but she's going to see this through to the end. Then she'll probably lock Choi up in a dog cage, and take herself off to a hospital. But for now, she's yanking out a silver baseball bat. She shifts it between her hands, then starts to swing it again and again in the hopes of battering his body enough to wear him down.

Baseball bat. What did Chae Lim think Choi was? Peanut Butter Jelly? And did she suggest it was time for such?

Choi's renegade nature did in fact raise those questions. He was supposed to be with Jhun in Southtown, but Jhun was not there. Chang went with Kim, but now both were gone. The whole thing smelled rotten. Choi didn't even go to Jhun, in fact. He just sort of... snuck away. Maybe there was some sort of conspiracy. Maybe there wasn't. But his tenure at Interpol...

Was because he was already arrested by Interpol!

The midget weaves and dodges the baseball, shaking his head in faux disbelief. "Chae Lim, what would Kim think when you rely on weapons? Didn't he teach you any moves than what was in bed?" The midget squawked at his own joke, before he followed through with another flip kick- this time the backwards kind. Flipping over, he attempted to knock Chae Lim squarely in her Chin in another Kim Klassic.

Reliance on weapons, not exactly what she was doing. Wanting to beat the little twerp into a bloody paste? That was the intent. Sure, one can do this by utilizing ones own body as a weapon, but when ones body is a complete bundle of pain, utilizing a baseball bat is the next best thing, right?

Well, maybe not. And for this, she blames Choi. It's his fault the baseball bat didn't crash into him after all.

Chae Lim refuses to allow this to anger her, but when his foot crashes against her chin, it knocks her backward against the lockers and her head cracks against one that has been left open. The baseball bat clatters to the floor, and yet... she drops back into stance.

From the looks of her, the Korean girl is barely managing to stay standing, but she's still got that look of determination in her eyes. "Your insults to myself and Master Kim are just building my anger, Choi. You have a choice... come with me peacefully now, or put up with me tracking you down and continually kicking you until I am able to bring you to GREAT JUSTisss!" Though she manages to keep her voice even, she falters over the last syllable, the sound coming out as nothing more than a low hiss of pain.

She's not done yet! So determined is she, that she swings out with a bloodied, wind-chi laden roundhouse kick to his midsection.

Choi wasn't really listening to Chae Lim right before she attacks. Instead, he was spinning around and around. The lockers were suddenly rattling as great streams of blue chi were sucked from them in a steady wind, winding around Choi as he whirled. As Chae Lim brought about her roundhouse kick, Choi's whirlwind was beginning to build into a full on storm...

But the midget was too slow.

The entire storm rattles the lockers as the chi dissipates. The midget is sent smashing into a locker, causing it to slow shut as he fall in. A small hissing sound is heard from within, followed by a high-pitched squeak.

Looks like Choi landed on the foot spray.

Feeling as though she's failing at giving out GREAT JUSTICE the Tae Kwon Do prodigy is left once more blinking when the small man gets stuck in the locker. It takes a moment, but she laughs. It hurts to laugh, but she can't help it. That just worked out... far too well for her! Finding a lock would probably take too long, so she moves toward the bench and flips it up onto its side, wedging it against the locker so that the door can't be opened.

Sure, it's cruel, but she really doesn't want to be sliced open any more. She's in enough pain as it is.

Chae Lim leans against the leaning bench, adding more weight to it and making it even MORE difficult to contend with.

"Since you weren't listening, Choi... I'll offer again. Come with me now, or have me hunt you down until I catch you and bring you to GREAT JUSTICE!"

There is muttering from the depths of the locker. Then a light tapping. "Chae Lim. Be reasonable. If you do this, well, you can be disqualified from the Neo Leagues. Your entire Tae Kwon Do career would be in shambles. That would be awful, wouldn't it?" There is more tapping, and suddenly pushing. The Korean curses, and then. More tapping.

"Besides..." The little man begins, letting loose a tinny growl from the locker. And then, a ripping sound as a claw break through the top portion of the door. And another. And other. The midget was tearing at the door, attempting to rip it apart. "... You don't think you can keep a tab on me forever? Not even Jiro could do that!"

With everything that's been said, Chae Lim simply doesn't believe him. Besides, it's well known that he's a criminal and escaped from Interpol. They wouldn't hold it over her head forever. "I am being reasonable. Come with me. Explain your side of the story to Interpol. Get your life... ow... back in order..." The sudden pushing against the locker and bench have her pushing back against it to try and keep him in there.

The sound of metal on metal is NOT good, however, and the Korean girl growls. At his question though, she laughs. "I've got the perfect plan though! One of those monitoring anklets that will send a signal to the police if you go somewhere you're not supposed to!" It's ingenious!

The midget unleashes the last few swipes, and finally full on rakes. "Oh. Yeah. That sounds -great-" The midget blurts out sarcastically. Choi already explained his story to Interpol. That was why he was tied to Jiro. And the monitoring anklets? That would be terrible. Not being free to go where ever he wanted... He would be under house arrest! That was not the life for Choi. Chae Lim needed to focus on more stomping kicks to deal with this midget!

There was a good sized hole in the locker door now, and the little man was quick to act. He begins squirming through the hole, glaring at Chae Lim. He speaks coldly, with a tone of utter seriousness. "Look, let me make this clear, girl. If you talk about sending me to Interpol again..." He suddenly pushes out of the hole, clumsily falling towards Chae Lim with a quick swipe of his right claw. "... I WILL kill you."

COMBATSYS: Choi successfully hits ChaeLim with Quick Strike.

Choi             0/-------/--=====|=======\==-----\1          ChaeLim


Doesn't it sound great? Chae Lim thinks it's a nifty idea, and if it works for famous people, why not a cretin little criminal like Choi? That way he wouldn't need a babysitter, he could just go free and get tattled on when he does something entirely wrong. Without Master Kim around, it seemed like the most sound solution.

Only, the midget doesn't seem to like it.

In fact, his clumsy swipe at the girl has him cutting off a little bit of her hair, and impaling her in the shoulder as he falls. "GAAAAH!" Falling to her knees, she gets a very serious expression upon her face. She may have lost this encounter, but this isn't the whole picture. When one looks at the entire picture, they will see that Master Kim or one of his students WILL be victorious and rain a volley of kicks upon the little man until he shapes up.

Chae Lim also has no intentions of giving up just yet.

Pitiful though it may be, she leaps toward Choi with a jumping kick. This followed quickly by another series of foot movements that see offering a variety of kicks, and is finished off by an overhead axe kick. The final strike sees her falling toward the ground alarmingly fast, and there she'll lay until security comes in to haul her off for medical attention.

COMBATSYS: ChaeLim can no longer fight.

Choi was still recovering from the locker lockdown when Chae Lim was going totally kick crazy on him. The Kim Klassic Kombo. Choi didn't bother dodging; he was too tired. Instead, he just brought his arms up, and took the beatdown like a man. Fortunately, it wasn't Kim. Kaphwan would have broken through that, and shattered Choi's body. This was only half strength, and with all his force, the little man carefully braces himself for the entire offense that just kept driving him back to the door.

As the last axekick broke his guard, the door caved in. The security guards rushed in, ready to subdue the crazy woman breaking in to get Choi. The midget just shook his head as they came in to arrest the subdued girl. A Kim Supporter being arrested and carted away? No. It was just carting away. The security guards could see she needed medical attention... and so did Choi. The midget frowned.

So much for cutting off the bras of French Women.

COMBATSYS: Choi has ended the fight here.
