Description: Chae Lim has become known for both her fighting for justice and her passion for fashion. Saturday Night Fight has been nice enough to allow her to showcase her new 'Justice' line, using the Howard Arena as a runway! Billy, May Lee, and Chae Lim all strut their stuff in this amazingly epic main event. (Winner: Billy)
t"At least I got to keep the scarf. At least I got to keep the scarf. No, no, Chae! It's, um - awesome! Yes, awesome! I'm just a little surprised. I usually wear, ah.." Pause. Look down. "More."
(For the record folks, May Lee's in something akin to http://www.odgirl.com/media/images/product_xlarge/8215-L.jpg , in black and white.)
May Lee looks a little bit nervous, but still excited. Stepping out of your box and exploring a new look is never a bad thing, but when it's done for a Saturday Night Fight in Howard Arena, that's a step up on the 'self-concious' scale! There was perhaps a large amount of convincing at first, but really - Chae Lim's style sense is second to none. May Lee trusts it pretty implicitly. She'll give the other girl all the benefit of the doubt, in this case. "Glad they put us together again. Promise I'll try to keep my stupid to a low level." With a grin, May Lee steps out into the arena itself!
In her favor, at least - the abstract patterns on her new outfit will certainly distract most people, as well as the cleavage it shows. She'd thought about draping her trademark scarf in front, but - it doesn't really fit. Instead, it's thrown behind her shoulder, carefully wrapped 'round her neck, like a safety blanket!
This is not the kind of style that Billy would have ever opted to wear of his own accord. Rather fanciful and billowy gray shorts with a similar hoody, high end sneakers finish the ensemble. But he's not entirely displeased. He's strode his way out to the center of the arena, having woven the crowd into a bit of a frenzy. It's definitely good publicity to say the least. 'That sweater Billy wore' is going to be a hot seller! Yet he turns to face May Lee, and stares. The stare is ... somewhat amused. "I'm gonna get motion sick with you dancin' around in that." he offers, giving a few testing swings of his bo staff. The air howls in annoyance, giving the weapon a further spiral and then resting it across his shoulders. Most shocking is that Chae Lim herself gets to enter last. Normally, Billy does so out of laziness as much as anything... but this is her show, so whatever! He won't ruin it!
There are quite a few things to do backstage still, which is why Chae Lim is the last to enter. Her muffled voice can be heard responding to May Lee, and it's just seconds later that she's coming out from behind where she's been hiding, showing off a an olive and tie-dyed catsuit that has long sleeves which fall off the shoulders, and a soft suede twist top. Along the hem of the top is an artsy lettering of 'JUSTICE' -- hence the new clothing line. The legs of the outfit are split to the knee, not only for added appeal but for added moveability.
(Said outfit is akin to this: http://i34.tinypic.com/25pr8rb.jpg)
May Lee is not the only one that's got a safety blanket with her this evening though. The fashionista is sporting something that doesn't quite match the rest of the outfit -- a pair of old, worn fighting gloves that were a gift from Master Kim.
"I know, I know, but it was the only thing I had handy that was your size. I was going to put sleeves on it, but there wasn't time." Sweatdrop. "You're a good sport, May Lee. I'm glad it got to be you that is wearing my design."
May Lee would totally buy the sweater that Billy wore! Mostly because she's seen him fight, and has always been impressed by his determination. Maybe not by his penchant for sexism, but still - he's pretty awesome. /And/ dressed up by Chae Lim! "Hah! Keep lookin, and you'll get dizzy and be easy pickings!" May Lee teases, then turns to look towards where the third fighter comes out. Whoa!! She applauds and gives an energetic 'whoot'! for her teammate, and a clap or two extra.
"It's great, but yours is /amazing/. I couldn't wear it.. but I'm really excited with what you gave me!" She'll whisper the last part - after all, no needing to telegraph any sort of reasons why - certainly not daring enough to wear /that/! She'll stand next to Chae Lim, spin and put her back against Chae's, pointing at Billy in a stylish and hopefully Justice-filled manner! "Awrlight! Chae Lim's new line is gonna be full of victory - today, she's already the winner, no matter what! Now, we just need to have the totally unneccessary fight to show it off to its best! Ready when you guys are!"

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't come here to play dress up!" Billy offers to the pair, but his voice is not unkind. He has a teasing smirk; slowly shifting into an aggressive stance. He bobs on his rear foot, other loosely held before him and slipping the end of his bo staff beneath an armpit. The tip hovers a scant inch above the ground, clenching and relaxing his free hand. He doesn't give a pose of his own when May Lee moves to pose, just shaking his head in a long suffering manner. "Better hope you can move fast in those..." he calls out, suddenly bolting forward. The end of his weapon slams upon the ground, and then he literally polevaults forward, swinging up one leg. He attempts to land a rather heavy kick to May Lee's side. Thereafter, he'd attempt to shift himself backwards, keeping his pole interposed before the other two.
Chae Lim and May Lee make a fantastic looking pair of Korean Charlie's Angels. They are missing a third, but Chae is fairly certain with enough coaxing (and bribing) she could convince Choi to stand in.
"A-amazing? Mine?" The last part causes her to blush a little. Inside though... well inside she's just beaming. This is a GREAT opportunity! Not only to show what she can do in the ring, but what she can do outside of this. In fact, this could be her big break into the fashion circuit even if only locally!
Billy's words make her crack a grin. "Actually, you are! I'm surprised that fit so well." She looks at him with a calculating eye, and nods. Seems she picked something decent enough for him to wear, and in the right size too! "These suits are made for agility, we'll have no problems!"
To prove the point, she falls into stance, then kicks herself around so that her back is to Billy. Kicking again has her whirling around as a sheathe of wind-like energy envelopes her foot before she snaps it out at him. "YAH!"

Move fast?! Of course May Lee can move fast in this! However, she seems to have a small bit of trouble moving 'Billy Fast'. Billy fast is much faster than May Lee fast, and as the foot comes in, it knocks her to the side and almost off the granite arena's floor. She skids to a halt, down on one knee, fingers bracing herself as she holds her side. Ow, oh ow.
"Look out, Chae! He hits pretty hard!" May Lee is already moving again, fingers reaching up to brush her scarf, pondering just how far to go in this fight. Really, there's only one answer - and that's 'all out'! She launches herself forwards, sliding in behind Chae Lim to try and catch Billy at the same moment. Her own attack is two brutal kicks, aimed at knee and head one after the other with her right leg!

"Oh, you'll pay for that..." Billy comments towards Chae Lim. Nobody uses him for a giant doll! Except Lilly, and she's probably not in the crowd today. He can hope. She'd make too many comments for his liking. His attention is fully drawn to the advancing Tae Kwon Do titan, which does mean that the sneaky May Lee manages to slither closer then he intended. Yet a flurry of crimson shifts, sidestep insufficient to avoid being struck in the knee. The other hits his shoulder instead of his head, but hardly matters in terms of the sharp pangs of pain. Yeesh; for someone so tiny she's got a lot of oomph! But he managed to maneuver his weapon in front of Chae Lim, and catches her heel. The wind dissipates, and she'd likely have a moment to see Billy's grinning face. Before he shoves her backwards, and breaks his weapon into three pieces connected by chain. Literally cackling, he strikes her multiple times in the torso with one end, then the other, whirling it into a complete weapon overhead before striking out to send her flying away!
Pay for it she does, apparently. Not expecting one of her key moves to fail her, the girl simply blinks when her heel is caught by the weapon. It doesn't take long for her to realize that this WILL be painful -- but at least they all look spectacular while she's being pummeled by the bo. Each strike forces her a step backward, until the staff finally slams her back into a tumble.
Rolling along the floor of the fighting area, she yelps, "Auuuugh!" When she comes out of it in a dazed manner, she gives her head a shake and peeks at May Lee. "Ow, ow, ow... you're not kidding..." Groan..
Though she's suffering through an immense amount of pain, she's not giving up yet! Kip-upping to her feet, she hops forward and launches three speedy roundhouse kicks at the hoodied man. One to the shin, the next to the stomach, and the third toward his head.
%R "Chae, Nooooooo~!" Slow-motion reaching out and missing, May Lee gets distracted for a second as Chae goes tumbling by. Yike! Whipping her head back around, she focuses completely on Billy. This is /go time/, and time to kick the intensity up about thirty to fourty notches. This requires her to take a deep breath, and then throw up her hands in a complex sway of her favorite masked warrior!
"Beating up on the harmless hearts, well-dressed man?! Not on /my/ watch! Here we go!" With that, she spins from her step forwards, and leaps upwards into a non-TKD move, a flying knee that would put Tony Jaa to shame. She tries to catch Billy on the opposite side of Chae Lim, the better to whup up on him and take him off-guard!

Billy continues to dance from foot to foot, grin completely unchanged. "She's not harmless, and I doubt she'll take kindly to making that claim..." he offers to May Lee, whirling around his weapon again. The end snaps before each of Chae Lim's kicks neatly, leaving her with a potentially sore foot and him with sore hands. But he uses his weapon to vault straight upwards as May Lee's kick swishes out, the direction of his evasion one few expect. At the apex he descends back towards May Lee, rearing back his weapon and then slamming it down towards her shoulders, throwing in a brutal kick for added oomph. "HERE I COME!" he roars out. Were he to miss, the stone beneath will thickly crack. Otherwise, it's her!
Chae Lim doesn't mind in the least. It's great to have a friend to watch her back, now if only she can actually return the favor. "Watch out, May Lee! He'll probably swing back toward you someh--" He's already in motion. The fashionista can't help but me almost mesmerized as he moves, watching the hood portion of the hoodie flap about. She really did a great job on the clothing. She'll have to give herself a pat on the back later. Maybe take May Lee out for ice cream to celebrate or someth--
Oh, right. Fighting.
It's extremely rare for Chae to find herself becoming so unfocused during the fight, but she's trying to gauge how each of the outfits is making an impact on the audience, and trying to ensure they don't get too torn up.
In an attempt to help her teammate, she hops forward. Arms lash out toward Billy, attempting to grip him about the waist and flip him over her hip. It's simple, and while not exactly a TKD move she executes it in such a way that no one should be able to tell the difference too much.

Ok, so Chae's heart is not harmless - it still sounded awesome! Rider Black would have approved! Maybe perhaps, May Lee could have come up with something more awesome -such as hitting whith her knees as she goes whiffing through where Billy once was. As she skids past him, her eyes widen, Chae's warning reaching her ears /almost/ too late. Upwards he goes, and she starts to turn to get out of the way, to run and avoid the blow..
But really, who runs in the face of danger?!
"READY.. OR NOT!" is May's rejoinder to Billy, drawing up in a quick stance. She brings her leg up and folded in against her body, sliding her body so the cane comes down and catches behind her knee. Trapped there, she slides her foot around the staff and tucks her ankle against it, then /yanks/ her leg up and around, to send Billy back towards Chae's arms. Hopefully she hasn't thrown the other girl off her stride, and actually helped in the fight!

Whoa! Billy didn't expect that. He thought to barrel through anything she could throw, and is staggered backwards with a grunt of pain. But he notices her slipping behind, and although he's thrown at the hip, a simple whirl causes him to land in a skid. One hand braces him, glancing between the two with his gaze a bit more serious. But just a bit. He's only had his chip painted, as it lies, and Chae Lim has massive fender damage! "Not bad. I'll pay you back too, though...!" Whirling his bo staff behind himself, he twists and then launches the point towards May Lee again, trying to crack hard right in her solar plexus to send the girl tumbling backwards. He attacked from a remarkable distance; the full length of his arm and bo staff held at the very base would scarcely have reached her, but more then enough to hurt.

Given a moments reprieve, Chae Lim falls back into stance. She doesn't really wish to hinder May Lee's move, and she'd really rather avoid Billy's extremely painful attacks with the bo staff until he body stops aching from the previous hit.
But she can't just stand there and let her teammate do all the work. Chae Lim hasn't been trained that way, and while a lot of people would let May Lee take the brunt of the damage and then follow up with their own fighting finesse, she just can't stand to see a teammate putting themselves out there while she idles back.
Once again, she shifts herself forward, twisting just enough to face Billy. Her feet plant to the ground, and her hands come together so that she can thrust them forward in a double palm-heel strike. "HIYAH!"
Why is someone trying to poke her in the chest with a pole?! May Lee is at a far distance from Billy, and as he sticks out his staff at full extension, she realizes she has to fight pretty hard to get in close. It's going to be an all-out thing, indeed! Whipping herself forwards, May Lee takes the hit directly in the center of her chest - then yelps out in pain! At least, she tries - that knocked most of the wind out of her! However, she's managed to get her hands on the staff - which is really what she was hoping to do - and afterwards, she tries to turn that into an advantage that she and Chae can capitalize on!
"That's it, Chae - show him your fighting spirit!" May Lee focuses her eyes on Billy, and attempts to show /her/ spirit. As she holds the staff in her hands, a duplicate May Lee appears, an afterimage of herself in her normal getup - her 'idealized self', as it were. The image runs /along/ the staff, and then launches a kick at Billy's face - if it hits, well.. there's /plenty/ more to come!

It seems May Lee is stealing the show here; she's not only drawing the attention of Billy, but surviving it at the same time! Nothing to sneeze at by any stretch. Yet Chae Lim's windup is noticed, and he seems to twist in an unreal fluidity. Her hand grazes against him, a feather touch. With a dancer's grace he wheels around his leg, slipping back to back with Chae Lim. Such is done even as May Lee charges, allowing her to control the held end. Because with a twist, it falls into three pieces with a serpentine hiss of chain links. Using the now open end, he rushes forward and obliterates the image in a flash, whipping up his weapon. It cracks painfully out of the girl's hand most likely, and even more painful is the sudden onslaught of blows with another mad laugh to send her stumbling away, hit just about everywhere handy on the torso. "Hey hey hey!" he offers. The crowd at least enjoyed it!
"Fighting spirit? You got it, May!" Chae Lim can definitely handle the fighting spirit portion. After all, this is for JUSTICE! (Ad insert: Both real justice, and the new Justice clothing line! In stores soon!)
Regardless, the girl winces a tad as she sees a similar move being used on her friend. Ooh. That probably hurt May Lee as much as it did her. "Come on, May! You can overcome this. Let's work together to defeat him!" Spinning around, slams her right foot down toward one of Billy's feet. As her foot plunges to the ground, it is bathed in the soft glow of her wind-like energy. Accompanying the stomp attack is a small burst of the energy, which explodes into a large shockwave -- all centered on Billy.
"Augh! Ow!" May Lee doesn't have time to say more as the staff turns into a spinny thing of duely death! She's pummeled and punched, staved and smacked endin up in a skooshed pile afterwards, struggling to get up. She still has a strong heart, though - a stong will to back up what she's saying, and to give Chae Lim's exhortations full effort!
"G-gotcha, Chae! We'll show him what we can do together!" With that, May Lee gets back up to her feet and catches her breath - but only one! It will be all she needs in such desperate, desperate times! In fact, times like these are /super/ desperate..! So, what must be done? She leaps forwards, landing just in front of where Billy is, then bringing her foot up in a kick, aimed at his chin when Billy's foot is almost targeted! Let him try to defend both spots at once - and let him fail! Rar!

"I feel like the villain in a Care Bear movie..." Billy grunts, watching both closely. He outmatches them alone, but them leaping around in tandem forces him to remain on his toes. His foot snaps back, caught faintly in the burst of chi even as he sweeps up his staff. Trailing sparks and a gush of heat follow the motion, dissipating the majority of her wind infused shockwave. But then there stands May Lee, and he's against the ropes. "Shit..." But he lunges backwards, pushing off the ground with his staff. Her foot slams against his chest, and not lightly. With a sharp exhale, he lands out of range from any followup, rubbing the spot she hit. "Dangerous little buggers..." Yet he maneuvers back towards Chae Lim now, spinning his staff about before shooting the tip to catch her in the throat. Aiming to then heft the hapless fashion designer into the air, cackling madly as he twists and chokes her high in the air with the intent of slamming her upon the ground thereafter. Rather hard!

"Master Kim has taught us well," Chae Lim replies, in response to being called a dangerous bugger. Teamwork is great, though keeping it up is usually a pain. Even so, she doesn't seem to have any difficulty whatsoever when fighting side-by-side with May Lee. She's about to mention this to her teammate, but there is suddenly a bo staff shooting toward her.
There are two options here: move, or get hit.
Choosing the first option, the fashionista drops down into a crouch to launch herself under the attack. Coming up behind Billy, she twists her body in order to send a powerful mule kick toward him. "HIIIIYAH!"
"Dangerous to the extreme! Master Kim's got the skills to.. pay the bills." Ok, May - that could have been better, and you know it. She hangs her head a little, but quickly flips her eyes back up and refocuses on her opponent. Chae's going to have to deal with Billy, and May's going to help as much as she can. At the very least, the clothing line's gotten a lot of good 'looks' in, with vaious blows being traded!
As Chae comes in with the mule kick, May Lee starts to edge forwards. She attempts to circle around him while Chae engages, and then takes a few quick swipes at his head, trying to knock him about a bit!!

"Kim, eh? He's a lot more arrogant then you." Billy mulls towards Chae Lim, if not with utter disrespect. The man is dangerous, that much won't be denied. But he finds his weapon only connecting with air, grunting in distant annoyance. He brings it back to himself while shifting sideways, her kick hitting a whole lot of air. He was there when she started the motion, but was long gone when it may have reached him. Billy Speed! "How can you say that with a straight face?!" is then demanded to May Lee, bobbing and weaving away from the jabs. Before he moves in a rush, bringing up his staff close to his body and trying to poleaxe May Lee across the face, the motion cloest to a standing clothesline. "Go to SLEEP!" he growls, making his first bid to remove someone from the fight!
"He is also a lot more talented than I am," Chae Lim states, her face taking on a very serious look. She's uncertain whether the man before her is insulting her teacher or not, and that's rather disconcerting. He's definitely insulting May Lee though, of that she's sure, and for that he's going to have to pay!
When he rushes toward May Lee, she zooms along behind him. If he's going to move out of her range, she's going to have to move right back into his. As he attempts the weaponed clothesline of her teammate, the fashionista drops into stance. Jerking her body to the side, her foot crashes outward once again.

"Arrogant? He's not! He's just skilled, and determined!" And awesome, and not a mean person that says bad thing about her Master! This makes May Lee quite cross and determined indeed! Whether or not that she's able to draw on Master Kim's skill as well in this heightened state - well, that's up to debate! The go-go girl brings her hands up, as if preparing to dodge out of the way - but in that moment, she decides to give it her utmost, knowing just how important that looking awesome is to herself, and to Chae's clothing line.
"Not tired, THANKS!" she says, offering the same cadence that Billy throws up, the raver chick already leaping up into the air. She catches the staff /again/ in the crook of her knee, and grins viciously as she works the pole, twisting it and letting her weight flip Billy /again/. As she lands, rolls and recovers, she gives Chae a thumbs up, offering her a bit of encouragement!

"He is a lot better then you, yeah." Billy immediately agrees. "But you've got some moves. Just a bit too predictable and slow..." A glance over the shoulder is sufficient to twist around, the suddenly narrow target avoiding the blow scantly. Yet in the same breath, yet again May Lee stops the powerful motions of his staff. Unwilling to let go, he flips forward and lands unceremoniously on his back, a loud 'Woof!' leaving his chest. But he scrambles to his feet quickly enough, taking a survey of the battlefront. "Jeez... Alright, I've had on the kiddie gloves long enough. Gonna play rough now, alright? So don't cry!" He then rears back his weapon, and then snaps the bo staff towards Chae Lim. It breaks into three pieces, the end one attempting to slam into her like a sledgehammer. Were she to be poleaxed, a moment later she'd erupt into flame with a hiss of sparks, before he pulls back the bo staff and assembles it anew. It might hurt. A lot.

Right. Master Kim is better than she is, but he's also been training for how many years longer? Chae Lim is not really worried about the minor little insult to her ego. In fact, she brushes it off entirely. She knows she's still got a lot more to learn, and it doesn't bother her to be reminded of this. It's why she takes every fight as a challenge, and a mode of learning.
Tonight's lesson is, once again, pain. Lots, and lots of pain.
She doesn't cry so much as SCREAM when she's suddenly immolated. Her body stays standing for several seconds until the staff pulls back. She then drops to the ground rather unceremoniously, looking rather red and crispy.
Three deep inhalations show that she's still alive -- though probably just. Her injured hands press down against the floor, pushing her body up. A tremble that runs through her body nearly causes her to topple back to the floor, but she manages to recover herself enough to get to her feet. Once she's standing, she gives a pained nod to May Lee. "For Master Kim. For Justice."
Pain shooting through every nerve in her body does little to deter her. She still launches a barrage of kicks upon the man. One after another after another. When her movements die down, she closes everything off with a harsh vertical kick, and should no one get in the way of this she drops to the ground again.
Oh, man! CHAE! "Look out!" May Lee can only watch as the staff comes crashing in, and the wave of fire comes out afterwards. Billy's attack is brutal, violent and quick - and inside, deep inside, May Lee quails. for just a moment, she fears the warrior that they face.
"It's ok to be scared, it's ok.. " she whispers to herself, and then tries to push down and away that fright, to focus and recover, to prepare herself for what comes after. She follows Chae Lim in, trying to catch Billy at the same time that Chae Lim finishes her launcher, following up with a triple mid-air kick, three swings of her legs aimed at his chest and shoulders, or at least where they will be if Chae Lim connects..! "HAAA!"

"...Did I go overboard?" This isn't Billy being an ass, although he is one. But that doesn't mean he wants to up and cripple someone on television! "Yeesh, just get down already!" The onslaught of kicks is... not bad! He can't say anything bad about it, and it requires all of his concentration to beat them away with his staff held close. Without missing a beat, he spins his weapon in a manic fashion, throwing back the last of Chae Lim's kicks even as it catches May Lee dead on, juggling her like a fish thrown into a helicoptor's rotor. He does get a firm *THWACK* to the spine for his trouble, He tries to flick the girl away with the end of his weapon, backing up. "Just you and me!" he offers to Chae Lim. He knows very well the other is down... but out?!
Did he go overboard?
Chae Lim is still moving, so chances are she's probably not crippled. Injured? Definitely. Going to have lasting wounds? Probably. Crippled? Chances are slim, thankfully.
"Just you and me, then," she says, voice shaky, hoping that she can last just a little longer in order to edge him out of the fight. Again, chances are slim, but she's still up for the challenge despite the pain that's still doing a number on her body. He's busy distracting himself with May Lee. She could take a chance and try to catch her breath, but instead she's going to try to distract him so that her teammate can either get back in the fight or have a medic look after her. Either way, there is yet another attack being launched at Billy. This time it's most definitely not something Master Kim taught her. It's a rather heavy-handed punch being swung in with both hands. "YAAAAAAH!"
Augh, augh, combo juggle, this is not so gooooooood! May Lee gets spun up and then thrown down, battered and heaped up on the floor /again/ of the arena. She's out of it now, tired and dazed, and only barely able to keep her fighting spirit in her heart. However, she's lucky. No matter if her flesh can't keep going..
Chae Lim's here.
Her spirit, caught up in the battle, responds to Chae Lim's determination. She sees Chae start in on Billy again - and she tries to follow. She tries to get to her feet, but they don't work quite right. However, where she fails to follow, her spirit doesn't quail. Her ghostly image gets up in a sprinter's rush, and comes in at Billy in a afterimage of herself, showing the man what her spirit's made of. Showing the world what her spirit's made of. As it closes, it pulls back a ghostly hand, and then throws a punch as well, trying to impact and overlap Chae's own strike..

Oh, shit. Billy's struck, and he's struck hard. The amount of pain is rather shocking, but his face warps to rage immediately therafter. "That's it, I'm not gonna lose this since I'm playing around...!!" Chae Lim's fist rushes forward. He slips to the side, and is heavily grazed. But his staff continues to spin, and then he brings it up. The tip catches her in the chest, throwing all of his weight into an upwards angle. High, high they go. A good ten feet into the air, before he summons a massive eruption of fire that swirls through the sky, lighting up all the stands. THIS is going overboard, but Billy's finally backed into a corner. Damnable fighting spirit... He shoulda crushed'em like bugs at the start!! He lands in a crouch thereafter, breathing heavily and eyeing Chae Lim as she descends. Hopefully she'll land and not get back up... ...well, at least for awhile!
Overboard? Most definitely! Chae Lim gets lost in the eruption of fire, so she doesn't quite see what's going on with May Lee. Hopefully someone will see her out of the fighting arena safely, but for now all the Korean girl can focus on is OMGPAIN.
She thought she was in pain last time? This time she can barely open her eyes. Body singed and injured enough that she'll likely have to take a week off from fighting, but spirit gets off scott free!
Hitting the ground with a rather ungraceful THUD, she lays there and twitches. But her spirit WILL NOT DIE!
It's a struggle, but she manages to find her feet again. She also begins to wobble like a Weeble, but unlike the Weeble, she nearly falls down. Weakened though her body is, she's going to give this one last shot before allowing herself to succumb to her injuries. She takes to the air in a long jump kick, and if it connects, she follows with another barrage of kicks, which will be finished off with an overhead axe kick.
If it doesn't? Well, she'll just fall peacefully into subconsciousness and allow her body to start the slow healing process it's going to need.

Well, damn. Billy is genuinely startled to see her get back to her feet. But no matter; it's a fool's charge, and he'll just gently thwack her down... No. No, that's not the case at all, is it? He underestimated her almost to his own defeat. Ducking, the first jumpkick grazes his bandana. Glancing up, he sees only a lot of furious legs. The first few lash nothing, but in his stumble backwards the tail end hits him squarely in the face, and he's lifted off his feet to land on his back. Scarcely able, he rolls over and pushes up, reeling and rubbing blood from his nose. But... the battlefield is empty of angry young girls. Billy's predations have come out supreme. "Damn..." he grumbles. Too easy! Too easy by half! He's never underestimating this type again! God help the next young female to challenge him. Offering no aid or hailing to them -- he almost lost damnit -- Billy instead stalks away to leave the arena, waving distractedly to his fans all the while.
COMBATSYS: Billy has ended the fight here.
