Description: Hayato, Chae Lim and Zach are brought to Howard Arena so that the younger two fighters can teach Hayato a lesson about the violence of his instruction methods. Hayato, however, objects to the premise of their argument and proceeds to instruct them on the flaws in it. Through violence. (Winner: Hayato)
Out in the center of the fighting floor in Howard Arena Hayato Nekketsu stands with his arms crossed, rocking back and forth slightly on his heels. Despite the fact that he's been informed about the theme for tonight's match he still has a grin on his face. After all, it's all rubbish. Teaching him the error of his ways would require there to be some error to begin with! Which there is not! Assuming we're limiting this to Hayato's professional life, at any rate. He only does what's best for the kids!
The audience, of course, doesn't really care much about the theme of the fight so much as they want to see some people getting punched and kicked, which Hayato will happily oblige once his opponents arrive. While he waits he rolls his neck a few times and grins to the audience.
Zach climbs up the stairs opposite Hayato, looking around in a mix of curiousity and awe. He's been here before, for other matches. None of them, however, have been main events or even close to top billing. He looks across the way to the somewhat scruffy looking Taiyo Teacher. He grins a bit.
Punching and kicking are not things that Zach does very well. He is here to bring a certain... flair to the fight. Everyone loves a light show, after all.
Stern talkings aren't really something Chae Lim is well versed in. Needless to say, she's not really looking forward to lecturing this man who is much older than her. After all, he's not Choi, and she doesn't really know what all he's done beyond reprimanding the students in his class -- something Master Kim has been known to do from time to time. Though, Master Kim doesn't necessarily beat on his students, so much as kick them to make them behave, but if it works it works... right?
The Korean girl has every intention of playing along to the best of her abilities though. At least she's not being made to wear a costume or defend herself against zombies this week. She makes her way to the stage, waving at the audience and offering a tiny smile. She doesn't have to be entirely serious yet, for the fight hasn't begun. As she reaches the center of the fighting floor, she crosses her arms over her chest and sends Mister Nekketsu the sternest look she is able to manage.
"Mister Nekketsu, I look forward to the challenge of defeating you and showing you the error of your ways."
Hayato uncrosses his arms, putting his left hand on his right shoulder and rotating his right arm a few times as he grins at his opponents. "Oh, I'm sure this'll be fun. Hopefully nobody'll hold it against you if you can't come up with a convincing argument, though. I mean, it's not like you have much to go on!" The teacher laughs briefly, then settles into a ready position with his shinai held at a slight angle to his body. "So, c'mon you two. Give me your best shot! Words, fists, whatever! I'm ready for it!" The Burning Phys Ed Teacher smiles toothily, using his left hand to make a "c'mon!" gesture.

Zach shifts into a somewhat stable stance as he regards the Phys Ed instructor's invitation to get things started. Fair enough, he thought. Zach raises his arms, crossing them at the wrists. A shimmer of purple appears in front of Hayato, over his head. Zach lunges forward, sweeping his hands down and back from his sides. "Kasane Ate!" Zach yells.
Almost out of nowhere, but more likely from that odd purple shimmering, three sharp-looking sheets of psychic energy slash towards the Taiyo Teacher at surprising speed!
"I'm not generally very verbose during matches," the Korean girl warns the teacher. Which is why it almost amuses her that she has been placed in a fight where she's meant to be lecturing someone. "But they do say that actions speak louder than words." Lifting her shoulders up in a shrug, she turns to her partner and offers him a small nod. He is, however, already suffused in purple.
As she waits for the energy to die down, Chae Lim drops herself into a fighting stance. Her face takes on a serious expression, and she brushes a strand of white from her eyes. Suddenly, she's moving forward at a rapid pace. Her left leg chambers up, and she fires off a series of rapid roundhouse kicks -- one to the calf, one to the thigh, and one to Hayato's stomach.

The motion used for Zach's attack is somewhat unusual, and Hayato isn't sure what to make of it at first. Of course, the nature of the attack becomes apparent a moment later, but by that point it's too late for Hayato to get out of the way. The teacher staggers back as the energy smashes into his chest, but he grunts and regains his balance. A good thing, too, since a moment later Chae Lim is in there kicking away. The first two kicks actually aren't that hard to block. A leg is mostly muscle and bone, so just twisting to meet the impact at the right angle keeps the kicks from doing too much damage. For a blow to the stomach, though, Hayato is quick to duck down slightly and bring his arm into play, taking the blow to the limb rather than right into his stomach.
Hayato is quick to straighten up after that, since he doesn't want to give Chae Lim a chance to hop back out of range. In order to take advantage of her proximity Hayato rears back briefly, lifting up his right leg. He then snaps out with a kick aimed right for the center of the Korean girl's torso. She may have the speed to lash out with multiple quick kicks, but Hayato has got /power/.
Zach bolts forward as Hayato focuses on the girl. It'd be a shame for such a cutie to get bashed up, so it'd be better to end the fight quickly. Zach appears as if he intends to plow through the Phys Ed teacher, but dives forward and slightly to the side at the last second in an attempt to get behind his opponent.
A moment after he lands, he is already rising to his feet and driving an elbow into Hayato's back. Zach immediately follows that up with a burst of violent violence from both palms!

It seems that Chae Lim is actually saying a whole lot more than her partner... at least verbally. This is a very odd occurrence, as most of the people she's teamed up with hold entire conversations while they trade blows. The Korean girl looks perplexed by this, and as she turns her head to ask WHY this is, she's taken her attention off of the teacher.
Foot crashes against her chest, flying her across the fighting floor.
Coughing as she picks herself up, she states, "N-now I s-see..." Cough-cough. "Why t-they say you treat your students poorly." His kick hits about as hard as that of Master Kim.
It may look like the young Korean is going to take a breather. She stands still for a moment, but then suddenly she's leaping toward Hayato. The angle of her leap has her feet trying to catch about his neck so that she can flip him over and show him what flying feels like.

When Hayato sees Chae Lim flying toward him, he's assuming she's going for a kick to the face, so that's what he starts preparing to defend against. But her feet don't go quite where he was expecting, instead clamping down on either side of his neck. /Then/ he can see what her actually plan is. Unfortunately for her, realizing what she's doing makes it relatively easy for Hayato to defend against her. He's got a significant size advantage, so if he twists his body in a way that denies her leverage it's going to be pretty difficult for her to fling him down.
Even better for Hayato, that twisting of his body brings him around to face Zach as the young man attempts to ram an elbow into Hayato. Then it's a simple matter of bringing his fist into place, continuing to spin about, and then thrusting out with his arm. Just before Zach's elbow manages to connect with Hayato, Hayato's fist connects with Zach's head and the resulting blow easily clears enough space between the two to keep Zach's attack from landing. And hopefully the movement managed to dislodge Chae Lim, as well.
Zach can be chatty during a fight, so long as he knows the people he's fighting. Hayato and Chae Lim are total strangers to the young man, so he figures he's here to do a job.
Zach's utter lack of anything that could possibly be considered 'reach', when compared to Hayato, immediately becomes obvious. Zach takes the piledriver fist right in the chin, and is sent tumbling across the arena. He slides to a stop, and slowly pulls himself to his feet. He shakes the cobwebs loose, and immediately goes to a comfortable 'fall-back' move.
Purple energy flares around the shorter man, wrapping around him as if trying to shore him up as Zach calls more energy to the fore.

The throw may not have worked entirely the way she wanted it to, but at least it wasn't entirely uneffective. She thinks. When she sees Hayato slam that fist into her partner, she kips back up to her feet and shakes her head. "You have to remember, Mister Nekketsu, that most of those you teach are weaker than you are. While many will rise to the challenge, beating them into bloody pulps is usually... not a good thing."
She follows up this very boring little lecture with a hop forward, a spin of her body, and a loud, "HIYAH!" Oh, and of course, a foot lashing out at the man.

Hayato blinks in surprise. "Beating them to a bloody pulp? Who's been saying that!" Hayato tenses his legs as Chae Lim starts to hop forward, then makes a powerful leap back which carries him well out of the way of the kick she strikes out at him with. As he skids to a stop he continues, "Sure, I'll knock some sense into kids if they really aren't listening, but a smack on the back of the head won't kill 'em! Making them run laps or stuff like that is usually much more effective anyway. And believe me, there's a big difference between this," he snaps his shinai briefly through the air, mimmicking the motion of smacking someone on the head with it, "and..."
The teacher glances around for a moment, then spies Zach, glowing with power. "And the kind of effort I'd put out if I was going to really try to beat someone up. Here, pal, help me demonstrate." And then Hayato is charging toward Zach in a full on sprint. He ducks low as he comes in close, leading with his right arm. He lunges out with his right arm, trying to drive his fist into Zach's stomach at an upward angle and continue up until the younger man is launched up off the floor...

Hayato rises back up to his full height, lifting Zach along for the ride on his fist. Eventually, however, Hayato stops rising but Zach continues to do so, tumbling up into the air. Hayato pauses a moment, then cocks his arm back and waits for the younger man to come falling back down. And once Zach falls back to the proper height Hayato intervenes to keep him from hitting the ground just a little bit longer. The Burning Phys Ed Teacher lashes out, scoring a perfectly aimed hit on his falling target and sending him flying once again, but this time parallel to the arena floor. "Like that, see?"
Zach saw that coming. The light show generally creates a pretty huge amount of threat, it would seem. Zach pulls some of that roiling energy into an open palm, and forms a beachball-sized globe of the stuff. He james it forward, missing Hayato by virtue of moving just a little /too/ fast. It leaves him open.
Zach is knocked clear off of the stage with a loud crash. He doesn't seem to be getting up very quickly, or at all...
"We were lead to believe..." Chae Lim furrows her brow slightly, arms crossing over her chest for the demonstration. "Then you are no different from Master Kim. Why would they want us to lecture you on something like that?" Though even a smack to the head can be painful to an untrained person. Maybe he's hitting them too hard?
Doe brown eyes widen as the Korean witnesses her partner being flown off of the stage with a fist.
"That does make sense," she offers with a nod. Her eyes have taken on a hint of nervousness, but she doesn't seem to be running off. From her stance, she twists her body to the side. Arms shoot out to make a grab for Hayato's waist, and should she make purchase, she simply goes to flip him over her hip.

With Zach having been sent falling down somewhere unseen, Hayato is going to leave him alone for the time being. Chae Lim, however, is still in a position to be a threat. As to her question... "Hey, you'd have to ask the guys in charge. All I do is sign up to participate then fight whoever they tell me to." In this case, right now, Chae Lim. As she attempts to grab him by the waist and flip him. And actually, she succeeds. With her feet on the ground she's got much better leverage than her last attempt to knock him down. Once he's flipped, however, Hayato tucks into a roll and hits the ground smoothly. He rolls for a short distance then flips back to his feet and is quickly standing up straight.
"Of course, there's always a few students who don't appreciate the effort I go through to help them, so maybe one of them has been spreading stories." The gym teacher shrugs. "Not something I'm going to waste time worrying about right now." He's got better things to do, like running toward Chae Lim and lashing out with his shinai. He opens up with a strike aimed at her ribs, then follows through and snaps the shinai back across her from the other side. Finally he swings his arm up so that he can bring a strike down onto the Korean girl's shoulder.
Zach lays on the floor, breathing a bit hard as his body tries to adapt to the interesting flavors of pain Hayato has introduced him too. He is not entirely certain that Chae Lim can solo the teacher, and he really is not interested in finding out. He slowly makes his way onto the stage.
As he does so, he takes deep breaths, marshalling his energy and getting the sparkles out of his field of vision. He's only mildly successful.

Once the match is over, there's a very good possibility that Chae Lim will indeed ask those in charge about this. If Mister Nekketsu is simply doling out just punishment, than this whole match was a set up anyhow. He seems very like Master Kim, and she can't fault him for that... can she? It's really no different than what she's been attempting with Choi, either -- kick some sense into him to make him behave.
Before she can say anything in reply, the shinai strikes true. It cracks against her ribs, resonating an echoing crack from them and causing a sharp cry of pain from the Korean girl. Her arms automatically come up to hold her sides, and that's when the second strike hits, knocking her forward. She stumbles to the fighting floor, and barely begins to pick herself up when there is a slash of the shinai that not only forces her back down, but sends her rolling a fair way.
Bruised, bloody and coughing, the Tae Kwon Do artist pushes back to her feet. Her body wobbles slightly causing a near topple, but she forces herself back into a proper stance and takes a few deep, heaving breaths. Moving forward, she retaliates with a whirlwind of kicks and chops hoping to get as many as possible to strike true. When she winds down, she performs her Flying Swallow Slicer -- a basic vertical kick aimed toward Hayato's chin.

Since Zach is still working on recovering he remains the lesser threat in Hayato's eyes. He'll probably be up and about again soon, but for now there's still Chae Lim to deal with. And she's definitely trying hard to take Hayato down. He brings up both arms defensively just in time, as she lashes out with a blurred whirlwind of strikes. Both of his arms dart back and forth taking the blows, and there's a few that are blocked by a quickly raised leg. Finally the assault ends and the teacher is able to take a moment to breathe.
Not too long, though. Hayato takes a quick step toward Chae Lim then leaps forward, holding his arms out above his head as he leaps headfirst toward her. He kicks off the ground as his feet start to leave, putting some rotation into his leap and turning his firmly held shinai into a blurring blade which then erupts with flaming orange chi a few moments before potential impact with Chae Lim.
Zach arrives just in time to see the TKD Princess take a savage beating from Hayato. Glen growls. He's a bit of a pig like that; he doesn't like to see women get beaten up, even if it /is/ in the context of an arranged fight. Purple energy flares once more around Zach as he takes to the air.
He brings a fist back, gathering his power around it. A hazy gauntlet forms around the fist, which Zach obligingly slams into Hayato's back with enough force to crater the arena if he misses!

Purples and oranges. For the amount of bright energy that seems to be flying about the fighting stage, the Korean girl is surprised she's not blind. The surprise is shaded, however, by the fact that the blurring blade of orange crashes against her torso knocking her down to the ground again. For a moment, she just lays there, somewhat stunned by what's just happened.
It is through sheer force of will that she rolls over and starts the painful process of getting to her feet one final time. "G... guess..." Oh boy, is she dizzy. She gives her head a shake before nodding at Zach. "... up... to... you..."
Once more, she takes a leap at Hayato, this time with a flying kick. The move nearly brings her back down to the stage, but she eases into another frenzied flurry of kicks. The finale this time is an attempted overhead axe kick before she allows he body to crumple to the floor in defeat.

Hayato's landing from his last attack isn't the most graceful of movements. The posture doesn't really lend itself to doing much other than hitting the ground hard. The teacher's gotten pretty good at twisting to hit the ground at an angle that doesn't actually hurt, though. It still takes him a moment to get back up, though, and that gives Zach time to come up behind him. Hayato has just gotten to his feet when Zach's psycho power wrapped fist gets driven into his back. The explosive force then sends him sailing right into Chae Lim's flying kick which then sends him crashing down onto his back.
With a grunt of pain he sits up, then climbs back to his feet. A quick survey of the arena confirms that Zach has recovered, but now Chae Lim is out of commission. The teacher cracks his neck, then begins to stride toward Zach with a grin. "So, how about you? Got any advice for me?" The Burning Phys Ed Teacher doesn't just wait around for a reponse, though. He charges toward Zach, lifting his shinai up high as he comes. Once he gets within range he lashes out, bringing a strike down at an angle toward Zach's collarbone.

Zach crumples under the shinai strike, yelling out in pain as the blow drives him to one knee. He doesn't go down completely, however, looking up at the teacher. Zach reaches up, and grabs for front of Hayato's jacket. He may not even be able to reach it, but that's not about to stop what happens next.
"...matter of fact, I do," Zach rasps. Energy boils off of the smaller man, psychic power kept barely in check. "Try not to look right at the light."
A moment later, Zach's energy blasts forth in an all-out torrent of force. Most of it goes directly skyward, with very little horizontal spread. However, with the ranges in question, it may not /need/ to go all that far.

Hayato takes Zach at his word and squints in preparation for the sudden burst of energy and light. He crosses his arms in front of him and plants his feet firmly just before the energy crashes over him. From behind Hayato briefly becomes a silhouette outlined against the bright purple light before it expands further and engulfs him completely. But when the energy fades away and Zach has fallen to the floor, Hayato is still standing. He blinks a few times before fully opening his eyes, then slowly lowers his arms and takes a deep breath.
There's a pause as Hayato looks around at his fallen opponents, then he raises a hand as the audience erupts in cheering and the win is officially announced. Not that most of them are cheering for him specificially... a lot of these people don't really care /who/ wins, as long as the fight is fun to watch.
COMBATSYS: Hayato has ended the fight here.
