Description: Candy and Spider fight on Metro Beach. The grains of sand, in the .. air? The water everywhere! And the supporters of both fighters.. okay mainly Spiders.. A ring, around the two! It's a match of man vs machine! But will the mercilous machine stomp on the spider, or will his web of deception catch her?! ( Winner: Candy )
A ring of cheering people are gathered at Sound Beach, accompanied by camera crews and a sign reading 'Neo League'. The Spider's star has been rising to contender status in the league, despite having come from nowhere. He waits in the center of a fight ring marked on the sand in chalk, smoking an Israeli high tar cigarette. He wears mirrored aviator shades over his eyes, frowning as he waits.
A woman, a bit like Kula Diamond, makes her way towards the central circle. The clothing, that of Kula, and most everything else. They would be sisters, if it was not for the shorter hair that Candy sports. She has been deployed for another bout of information collecting. There is no other purpose. Her success in such a League is nebulous at best.
In the end, she is only here to learn of others.
Her eyes flicker to Spider, as he smokes, waiting for her. They scan over the man, running a quick notice about the human, before Candy stands back upwards, looking towards the man. Oh. She is certain this man isn't noticed very often. Maybe then, there is data to truly be had.
She falls back as well. "Smoking is not healthy," The woman states. "It will not leave you with much breath during the battle."
"I don't need breath, all I need is hate," the Spider hisses back, as he tosses his cigarette away. He ponders for a moment, before removing his shades and tucking them into his brown bomber jacket. "So, let's go." He doesn't raise his guard, only watching Candy with his cold, brown eyes. He waits for her assault.
As Spider goes on to explain what hate is, and just what 'hate' he has.. Candy does not understand at all. "Hate is not enough." She states, before he removes his shades, and tells her to get it on.. but Candy refuses, for a nebulous reason. Instead, she falls backwards into a stance, looking onto Spider, gaze sliding over his form.
Meanwhile, Candy begins to pull up information stored on his fights, on his actions, all of it. The man can scarcely keep a secret, at least, to Candy. All of his information is before her.. but it may not do her any good. She knows what to expect.
And she prepares for it, readying herself.
But not yet striking.

Candy's data indicates that the Spider is known for being a fast, cagey fighter, that strikes his opponents before they can. He's actually referenced in Middle East intelligence files from the nineties, as a Mossad agent named Ari 'The Spider' Abraham.
The Spider launches himself forward at Candy, attempting to grab her by the shoulders and grapple with her. "Let's dance," he hisses, as he attempts to ram his forehead into Candy's metal head.

As the assault comes in, Candy is capable of preventing it. The Spider launching him, grabbing her and grappling, Candy's pulled in and rammed, but her hand is struck, instead of anything important. The metal machine is able to prevent whatever Spider aims to accomplish, in the end. It is not quite any trouble to get what she wants. The data does not lie.
But she pushes Spider away, pulling off of the man, attempting to slide away, before something is launched towards him.
A spear of solid light, holograms used to such effect to make them damaging, slides away from her, two, three tendrils striking towards Spider through the air, spiralling, aiming to strike the man. He has something planned. That much Candy could see. Data points align, in order to prevent that.

The Spider raises his arms before his face as the tendrils strike his arms, cutting into his leather jacket. His arms smoke as he stumbles back a step, looking up at Candy with a frown. "You're good. But I'm better." He steps in and levels a fist at Candy's head, aiming with particular force.

Candy 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Spider
Spider's motion, raising his arms as he's cut into, is noted. But as he claims to be better.. the machine does not stop. His motion, to strike at head head, is taken.. and the machine is indeed struck in the head.
Not that it truly cares, in the end. It is struck.. and yet.. this only means that Spider is in close.
It aims to make use of this.
Her hands shoot out, upon contact, aiming to grapple the man, and then twist him about, pulling him around, and wrenching him towards the ground. It may be a slight bit risky. But then, Candy has noticed with it's efforts, that it is .. somewhat safe, as well.

Candy 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Spider
The Spider gets wrested about by Candy's mechanical strength, struggling with her, before he hits the ground face first. He rolls away and slides up to his feet, narrowing his eyes at Candy. In a show of respect, and perhaps fear, he raises his guard, waiting for Candy to come at him again.
As Spider is wrestled about, as he struggles, failing to get at her .. the machine is the victor, this time. It is then, as he rolls away, sliding to his feet, that Candy watches him.. his eyes, narrowing.. and he seems to take her far more seriously now.
Good. Candy does not like to be taken lightly.. the information that she gets depends on how hard the opponent tries.
Her motion is not slow, but it could not be called fast. Spinning about, Candy turns towards Spider, a tonfa being brought around towards the Spider's chest, striking once.. and another strike, aimed to follow up!.
"You are silent then.. Does this mean you need to focus?"

The Spider gets struck in the chest, twice, air exhaling from his mouth. "You're tougher than I expected," he replies, before juking backwards. He fakes left and right with his hands, feinting, before his left hand lashes out with the fingers extended. He aims at Candy's throat, grunting as he lets the shot out.

Candy 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Spider
As Spider replies such a thing, Candy smiles. "Hate is a catalyst. It is only one, focusing on assault. Focusing far too much on the berserk nature." Candy repeats. "It takes more." NESTs has taught her as much. She is able to see through many fighters styles. Choi's was one that was risky. Naerose, another dance with a force she dislikes.
Spider seems to be what she may be built for.. and the information she is gathering is quite important. She will continue.
As the man feints, Candy slides about, gaze catching it.. and as the hand, fingers about, extends towards her throat, Candy slides away, her body ducking low, pistoning her out of reach..
But it is those pistons which drive her forwards, Candy launching into the air.. a spin, like an ice skater, one leg pivoting her in the air as she spins, the other leg spinning about.. and it is aimed for Spider, an attempt to batter his chest.
She had warned him. Smoking will take the air right out of him. She was not joking.

Candy 0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0 Spider
The Spider gets thwomped in the chest and falls onto his back, wheezing with thick rivulets of drool lapping out of his mouth. He wipes his mouth on his smoking, torn jacket, before rolling back to his feet. Shaking his head to get his focus back, he raises his guard.
It is obvious to Candy about the Spider's current status. He is .. not doing well, to say the least. But Candy is an unfeeling, cold machine. She does not care of standings. She does not care of rank.
She is interested in his capabilities. A strike stronger than before comes towards her. Spider wheezes, wiping his mouth, before rolling to his feet.
Candy is not sure what to make of this as she lands, still spiralling, ending at the final touch. "You have not had much luck. I am certain on a good day, you would be a far greater challenge." Candy states. "So I will be happy to have a rematch, at a later date." More data for NESTs. There is no lose to the situation.
It is then that she moves towards Spider again, this time, with a spinning strike of tonfa, one, then the other striking forwards, as she continues the unfeeling advance.

The Spider gets slammed across his jaw, blood spurting out of the side as his head snaps to the right. He aims to grab the tonfa and then grab Candy's wrist, before he aims his other hand at Candy's elbow from the top, attempting to slam it and maybe even break it.

Candy 1/-------/=======|=------\-------\0 Spider
As the Spider grabs the tonfa, grasping her wrist, and then launching a hand at her elbow from the top.. the elbow is grasped. It is slammed. No. Not slammed. The machine's arm is ripped off, almost. The hologram falling, 'Candy Diamond' no more.. as the machine is shown completely. Gunmetal. Blue. It is all obvious what she is.
But it has put Candy into a rather obvious state.
She is not being grasped by Spider any longer. Her arm is broken off, lower her reserves. But the machine, sparking, immediately reacts, perhaps before he can, as light is solidified a moment later, sharp blades erupting from her as they jab forwards, towards Spider.
"S-Stronger. T-Than E-Expected... N-Noted."
"B-But it is o-Over."

The Spider blinks as Candy's true form is shown. The shock is enough to take advantage of. The Spider is lanced into by the blades, pierced in many places. He staggers, flicking his wrist. A knife slides into his grip, and he charges into Candy, falling as he stabs at her.
COMBATSYS: Spider can no longer fight.

Spider is lanced, and pierced completely, as he falls over. The blade stabs into her, deep into the metal as he goes, but the metal is strong enough to resist. The machine still stands, and glances at Spider, as he falls. She has collected information on him. She will need more, later.
"Interesting." She quotes, of the man, as the knife stays within her. She pulls it out, leaking oil, with her non-broken hand.. and begins to walk off. "You have done a great service. I will see you again. I require more information, still." He may not be able to hear. Maybe.
Meanwhile, Candy's arm is not auctioned off to the highest bidder. Instead, Candy is taken by .. supporters. No. NESTs Employees that move, taking her pieces and herself, as she is taken back to not only return the data, but to repair.
The latter is put on low priority.. she will be made pretty, however. That is high priority.
Kula's precious doll cannot be allowed to be .. damaged. She would not be happy. It is partially for Spiders safety. Partially, for NESTs to not have to clean up what may happen if Kula went after .. alot of people.
COMBATSYS: Candy has ended the fight here.
