Description: Can you see it?! The teamwork. The love. The understanding. THIS IS WHY MAD GEAR SHALL NEVER BE DEFEATED.
In Mad Gear CITY ... ER METRO City, there is generally a lot of things going on. The trees are standing. People are working. A truck is somehow in the middle of the park even if it shouldn't be there but no one has went close enough to complain.
That's because they know that TRUCK.
And nearby, flexing, is a rather massive SHOGUN. Or at least, that's what he likes to think he is. Katana is currently working with his .. underlings, intending to make them BUFFER, STRONGER, and of course, ABLE TO FIGHT HAGGAR.
The last parts important for every Mad Gear Member.
Standing infront of the Mad Gear Truck, as it begins blaring music .. because it can.. the Shogun starts yelling above it. The music isn't like, ridiculously loud. It's just loud. Katana is louder.
"Alright... Poison .. Bred... YOU HAVE SERVED THE SHOGUN WELL!" He picks them out especially from the swarm of nameless members that are of the Mad Gear cause. "So now ... I SHALL CHALLENGE YOU TWO DIRECTLY. It will be a match of strength and will .. AGAINST STRENGTH AND WILL! For both of us.. er.. ALL OF US.. the fighting shall be fierce!" He raises a wakizashi upwards, the other pointing outwards.
"But it shall make us stronger.. IT SHALL ENSURE OUR VICTORY AS IT WILL COME!"
"FOR THE JAPANESE SPIRITS WILL BE WITH US."
Mmmmm weeabo.
Poison is propped up in a deck chair outside the truck, reading a magazine about film starlets. "Huh?" she says, looking up and adjusting the brim of her hat. "I thought we were here to work on our tans." She looks over at Bred: "Did you know anything about this?"
Bred is presently smoking a joint laced with PCP, giggling to himself. "I think he wants us to be able to fight that guy that we hate. You know, the one with the gay mustache. Isn't he named..." He blinks hazily. "Uhhh." He looks up at the sky. "Hagrid? Major Magrid?" He giggles again, and stands up. "Okay, boss. Just lemme finish this baby." He inhales sharply, before tossing the roach away. He has plenty more where that came from.
COMBATSYS: Bred has started a fight here.

Katana stares at Poison and Bred for a moment, before Katana looks up to Posion, the eyeless mask staring .. rather neutrally. "That .. was part of the mission .. AND NOW IT IS TRAINING!" He bellows towards Poison, pointing a blade towards Poison as she lays out in all her delectable beauty.
Oh yes.
To Bred, the Shogun laughs. "Oh yes... Of course... BUT I hope you shall provide me with a challenge... one that will not be tainted .. by such enhancements! LET US SEE IF THEY ruin your SPIRIT." The Shogun is quite neutral on drugs. He just doesn't do any himself.
"So .. Poison .. How .. SHALL IT BE!?"
COMBATSYS: Katana has joined the fight here.

Poison stares down the blade for a long, silent moment. Then, with a pronounced sigh, she sets her magazine down and stands up. "/Fine/," she says, as if this was the most excruciating, tedious chore imaginable. "But one of these days, you owe us a day trip where you /DON'T/ turn it into us fighting you. I'm still pretty pissed about Mad Gear Beach Day."
Poison takes off her hat for a moment to flip her hair, and then settles the accessory back down. "Bred, stay outta my way, okay?" she says, exemplifying the true spirit of Mad Gear "teemawuhku," as Katana once declared. And with that, she charges toward the SHOGUN, high heels digging into the grass beneath her feet as she stops and swings one leg up, aiming a kick right for his big dumb mask.
Bred giggles as he watches Poison charge forward. "Oh man, I am so fuckin' high, yew have no idea..." he murmurs, stumbling about. Finally, he pulls on his suspenders, before charging in behind Poison. He jumps up into the air with a shallow jumpkick, aiming at Katana's head as well. With any luck, he won't crash into Poison on his way down.

The Shogun takes the jumpkick to the head first, raising his gauntlet to brush away the assault, yet it does not crash into the SHogun!
It slams into him, causing him to stagger backwards, before the Shogun grips for Poison, his manly hands attempting to grasp Poison as kicks upwards. She kicks. High.
THUNK, the shoe is already into his face before he can even react, hands flailing in the air.. but as he falls backwards, planting a hand and flipping back to his feet, the Shogun seems ... happy! "Hahhaha! Yes! That's just .. WHAT I WANT!" He exclaims, before raising a hand outwards. "IF you can defeat me .. THEN I SHALL AGREE!"
"I'll even pay for the take out!"
"Ugh, I'm /sick/ of eating Kyoto Express!" Poison says, doing a graceful backflip with the aid of a well-balanced handstand. She readopts her offensive position, dukes up to get a better bead on how Bred will no doubt mess up her attempt to beat the crap out of Katana. "And Sushi Hut, for that matter! And Legal Fuji Seafood! Ugh -- can't we eat somewhere that can make a /hamburger/ one of these days?!"
Poison's frustration comes out in the form of that mini-rant. She also punctuates it with another display of her frustration with the Shogun-dictated eating habits of Mad Gear, this time manifested as her fist, sailing right toward Katana's mask again.
Bred falls right onto his butt as his jump kick is knocked away. "Heh-heh...Yew got a nice ass there, Poison..." If only he knew! He climbs up to his feet and reaches into his suspenders, pulling out a bowie knife. He grins like a total shithead, before flinging the knife at Katana. Apparently he doesn't understand that training should never end in a fatality! "Yew know who else has an ass like a freight train? Margeret Thatcher. Oh yeah, bab-y!"
COMBATSYS: Poison successfully hits Katana with Power Strike.

"Then .. hah.. FINE! We shall order MEAT THAT IS NOT OF THE FISH! But only .. WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN FELLING THE SHOGUN!" He notes, immediately.
In this case, it's as he punctuates it with a fist towards the Mask. It seems.. this time was the one he was to grasp her, but as he leans back, sliding, or trying, to avoid, her strike aims true.
The Shogun .. can do nothing but take the blow. Truly unfortunate.. OR IS IT!? "Such a strong strike... BUT IT SHALL HAVE TO BE HARDER!" He bellows, before Bred comes forwards, the knife being thrown towards the Shogun, who spins, bringing the blade to meet the blade, and deflects it to the side as he turns towards Poison for the moment..
"And now .. YOU SHALL FEEL THE ULTIMATE ASSAULT OF THE SHOGUN SO SOON!" He bellows to Poison as she has caused him the most trouble at the moment.
"TERRIBLE NYANKO DESU KAWIAIIIII JOOOKUU NOO BANDUUUUUUUUOI!" The blades spin, the Shogun swinging them heavily as he .. aims to crash straight into Poison! "HYAAAAH!"

Katana's propensity for proclamations works against him this time, as his bellow gives Poison ample time to react, cartwheeling to one side so that Katana's charge impacts a passing stroller pushed by a young mom.
The stroller goes /FLYING/ and the mom screams and runs after it.
Poison, meanwhile, collapses on the grass laughing at the sight.
COMBATSYS: Poison takes no action.

Bred looks to the side as Poison beans the stroller, and frowns. "Dang, Poison, that's not right!" He looks back at Katana, grinning that wide, stoned grin of his. "So, looks like it's jes yew an' me, bossman." He leaps up again with another jump kick, a bit higher this time. "Yew remind me of an Oriental whore I once nailed," he drawls.
COMBATSYS: Bred successfully hits Katana with Bayou Bounce.

As Posion rolls out of the side, the Shogun is blind-sighted by the assault that Bred makes, as he kicks higher. HIGHER. INTO THE FACE. The Shogun staggers backwards after sending the stroller flying, and with Poison on the ground, laughing, the Shogun .. is ANYTHING BUT PLEASED. "Then .. it shall come to this .. THE SHOGUN IS DONE PLAYING AROUND!" He decries, as he makes a break towards Bred.
"Hah... she .. WILL NEVER BE AS STRONG AS I!" He proclaims, before rushing towards Bred. "In the same way that that child shall be made stronger through my assault... SO SHALL YOU! BUTSUMETSUUUUUU!" The Shogun dips low, aiming to grasp Bred's leg and pull him upwards as he leaps, spinning, aiming to crash his head downwards.. to the ground!
"BUSTER!" He'll slam hard.. and perhaps jump back if he makes the grab!
Poison gets up, tch-ing at the grass stains she no doubt has on the back of her cutoffs. She wanders back to the deck chair and has a drink of water, watching Katana and Bred, wondering what will prevail, folksy down-home deviancy or boisterous adoptive nationalism. In any case, the latter is more annoying, so her side is chosen.
Poison takes her bullwhip out of a Hello Kitty backpack next to the chair, and strides back toward the fight. She cracks the whip to command the Shogun's attention -- and then lashes it forward, attempting to snare him around the ankles and pull him toward her!

Bred gets picked up and slammed onto the ground, but his hands catch him as he hits the ground. His eyes are dazed as he rolls away, hearing the bullwhip crack. "Rawhide! YEEE-HAW!" He stands and attempts to get behind Katana while he deals with the whip, lifting his arm and delivering a chop to Katana's ribs. A heartstopping punch!"

Bred's chop aimed for the ribs slams home, but the Shogun brings the gauntlets up as the man cracks against his bones. It stings, but the Shogun .. he does not quite worry of such a thing. He is GROWING STRONGER, even if the arms feel weaker. He must push through. MUST PRESS ON.
As Poison comes forwards, grasping the bullwhip and lashing it forwards, the Shogun ..
The Shogun moves with it. Being pulled, Katana rolls with it, springing out of it at the last second. "Now .. YOU SHALL FACE YOUR MIGHTY TEST! DAIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" He bellows, a sign of things to come.. and if Poison disliked her grass stains BEFORE. The Shogun aims to slam her into the grass, wakizashi pressing down against her.. AND CHARGE HER INTO THE GROUND, across the grass rather hard, before tossing her upwards and grasping her, slamming her once more .. into the ground.
"BURNIIIIIING!"

"UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH GHGGHGGG" Poison makes various unladylike noises as the DAIKYO BURNING smashes her into the ground, digging a deep gouge into the dirt as the attack drives her through the dirt.
Nearby, a park official who spent all that time re-seeding the grass throws down his spade in anger, storming off in a huff.
Poison groggily gets up, only to find herself covered in dirt and grass. "Y-- you-- NNNGH!" Poison rushes the MAD GEAR SHOGUN, attempting to lock his massive body into a full nelson. "I'll grab him, Bred -- you /STAB HIM/!"
Bred grins over at Poison, laughing at her. "It's funny to watch yew get fucked up, Poison. Let's get 'im!" As Poison aims to pin Katana down, Bred steps in close. He aims three fast jabs at Katana's stomach, hitting with lightning speed. "So, Katana, yew ever play washboard before? I'm kinda tryin' ta form a bluegrass band."

Poison makes a nice garden. Just add seeds, dirt, and water. And grass. WHICH IS REMOVED>
But as Poison gets up, covered in all kinds of UNSAVORY park normalities, the Shogun is currently laughing at his handiwork. "Hahah! None .. CAN WITHSTAND THE POWER OF THE DAIKYOU BURNING!" He explains, hands raising upwards.. as Poison rushes, locking his body into a fullnelson.
And she's doing it for Bred.
.. DAWwwwwwwwwwwww. He got them to work together! TEAMBUILDING EXERCISE.
"Very good.. that you .. shall work together.." But the Shogun twists, Poison's motions being moved with a bit. "But .. IT SHALL NOT BE ENOUGH!" He bursts free as Bred steps in close, the bending being used as he snaps back, the second jab being interrupted as the Shogun bursts free..
And crashes Bred into the ground.
"This .. SHALL NOT .. BE.. ENOUGH! TEN!" The Shogun begins to charge Bred into the ground, tearing up ANOTHER, PARALLEL GOUGE. "CHUU!" As he lifts up Bred, slashing him again and again. And finally.. "SATSUUUUUUUUUU!"
His leap is punctuated by the powerbomb, as the Shogun leaps up to catch and CRASH Bred.
Breathing heavy, Katana looks to Poison. "You .. still have to work .. FOR THAT MEAL!"
Poison's response is to spin into a roundhouse kick, trying to send the back of her heel right into the side of Katana's mask. "Yeah, yeah," she says, as if trying to hold back a yawn. "I don't know why you're being such a cheapskate. Bred doesn't even eat things that can be bought legally, and I'm watching my figure anyway."
Bred shouts, "OooooOOOOH SHIT!" He's dragged along the ground, before he's cut up by the sword, then powerbombered into the ground on his back with a powerful slam. "Ugh..." As he lays on his back, woozy and disoriented, he pulls out a flask of Jack Daniels and chugging it. "I needed that," he mutters.
COMBATSYS: Bred gains composure.

As Bred finishes, chugging a bottle of Jack Daniels, the Shogun is kicked... IN THE MASK. He collapses, after being knocked over, the SHogun staggering to his feet. "Hahah! .. SO it is true ... then you shall have your meal of meat and pork and whatever you will .. and it shall be on a day where you can ... relax."
"FOR YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELVES TO BE CAPABLE OF WORKING TOGETHER!"
The Shogun is certainly pleased, even if he's beaten the hell up!
He will give it ALL.
Poison snorts, still covered in dirt and grass and stuff. "Fine. Good. I'm taking a shower," she says turning on her heel and marching back toward the carnival-lit truck, climbing into the back. She pokes her head back out -- "And I'm keeping my knife on me, Bred, so don't even think about it."
COMBATSYS: Poison has left the fight here.

Bred stays on the ground, raising his flask. "God bless th' Confederacy! Heeheeehee!" He tries to get up, only to fall onto his side, landing in the dirt trench that he and Katana created. "Oh man, the ground's runnin' away!"
It's as Poison agrees, and moves to take a shower, that the Shogun laughs. Even as Bred gets drunk even farther off his ass, before burying himself rather nicely.
A beer flower garden!? "Ah ... This .. is why I love being a SHOGUN!"
Such a heartwarming scene if there ever was one.
