Yamazaki - The Bet

Description: YEAH! After hundreds of fights, Yamazaki finally shows that dirty mook Billy who's boss around these parts. You still owe me, ass!! Don't think I'll just forget!



Another day of training for Billy is nearly concluded. He's been using one of the upper floors of Geese Tower, retrofitted with cutting edge equipment, sparring rooms, and various luxuries for the fighting elite. Presently within a twenty foot room, surrounded by multiple mirrors beyond the one door that leads to a hall, he's repeating the end of a drill with a modified bo staff. Both ends are heavily weighted, but still he swings it violently downwards and stops it on a dime, sweat sloughing off him with each motion. "Ninety nine... A hundred..." he grunts, before slamming the end on the matted floor and leaning, scrubbing his forehead with the back of his hand. "Whew!" He's currently shirtless, wearing a crimson bandana and more voluminous training pants, sans boots. Right now, he's at his most vulnerable. Which is precisely why a certain hired goon should be arriving to capitalize on that, for no small amount of money... Once a week for quite some time, Yamazaki has had full game of the former King of Fighter. And every time, he's not quite managed to seal the deal!

"Oh god, it's him again--"

"WHICH ONE'S KANE IN!?"

"How am I supposed to know, you brute?!"

"This time I'm definitely gonna tear that bastard in two! Come on!!"

"--Agh!!"

This time, Yamazaki has a plan, and this time it'll definitely work. It's almost been a hundred times Yamazaki's fought Billy. It's never entirely in good humor--someone like Yamazaki could really never be satisfied with just that. His version of fun is just that way. First, the attacks were entirely random--whenever Yamazaki would get the itch to collect on that bet. Yamazaki would just jump Billy at any time--in the car, on the phone, shaving in the morning. Then he began to become more organized. More collected in how and when he attacked Billy. Actually, arguably speaking, Billy isn't at his most vulnerable now.

But Yamazaki has yet to attack Billy Kane in the shower.

But he's slowly been advancing his art. Perfecting his plans to get him. Being teased with so many close-to-victories doesn't do well for his already questionable sanity, either. So it might be little surprise when Yamazaki kicks the door of the private training room off its hinges, stalking in with a murderous glint in his eye. And dragging an intern by the collar, who he had to pummel a little bit first (training of his own) before he could get him to calm down enough to come along for the ride.

"That's it Kane," Yamazaki snarls dangerously, "I've had enough of this bet shit," (he's said this about three or four times already) "--Let's go!"

Then Yamazaki throws the intern bodily at the half-naked Billy.

He probably really didn't think the plan through past that. Let's be honest. It probably just amused him at the time. It was either that or just come through a wall after the quarterstaff quarterbrat.

(Also, this is the third room Yamazaki's had to bust in on to even find Billy. Plenty of time to get enraged.)

[OOC] Billy says, "is the man you are hucking an attack"

[OOC] Yamazaki says, "nah"

[OOC] Yamazaki says, "though it would be funny if it power hit"

Well, dealing with Yamazaki has indeed degraded. Initially it was a planned cooldown from his training. But try to tell Yamazaki to control his urges to beat people up for money, and you're trying to tell a cat to listen to you. It just won't happen, and they'll be more of a bitch just for daring to believe otherwise. A better term is 'This is when Yamazaki SHOULD come attack him if he remembers that the initial damn agreement was on a schedule'!! Random attacks have done nothing. Billy is an adaptable fighter, and has a not insignificant advantage straight up. What cunning scheme the predator might come up with is unknown.
Although kicking the door off the hinges is probably amongst the more anticipated things. Just the 'when'. "The hell?" Twisting towards Yamazaki, he hefts up his weighted bo staff defensively. This part of the script goes rather normally, if with a hurled intern in the mix. "You wish. I could be offerin' ya ten times as much. Doesn't matter a nonce if you can't beat me!" In the midst of this he snaps down his weapon, cracking it on the intern's head mid-arc and slamming him facefirst into the ground. He'll live. Probably.
Whirling around his weapon, he rests it across a lean shoulder, grinning in a distantly sadistic fashion while gesturing. "Come get your beating, already! I gotta get home and catch up on laundry!"

Shihong has arrived.

[OOC] Shihong gropes Billy instead.

[OOC] Billy argh foiled!

[OOC] Shihong says, "not really"

[OOC] Shihong says, "are you two going to csys rape one another"

"Urgh, that's what pisses me off about you--"

The mercenary stalks in even as his intern attack is batted into the ground with maximum authority. His shadow, long and massive, falls into the room. Objects in the gym may be closer than they appear. His hand is still stuffed in a pocket that Billy should know by now contains a switchblade with Kane's name on it.

This time, literally.

Yamazaki bought a new one, carved Billy's name into it.

He calls it Sophia.

"Using bitch words like 'nonce'. Fuck's that mean anyway?! Argh--this time you're going into a hurt locker, Kane," Yamazaki swears.

He grins, walking forward, his long legs covering a lot of ground in a short amount of time. "Besides. Word on the street is you've been getting soft. Some bastard fried your laundry, didn't he?!" Pause. "Gonna fry a lot more than that today!!"

With the sound of distended leather and knuckles cracking from tension, he cocks his fist back, going on one leg to put all his weight into it. Oh, he's telegraphing this from China. It's the closest thing to a 'Hello. My Name is Yamazaki :)' Billy will ever get. At this point he expects Kane to be quick enough to stop it. But it doesn't matter if Yamazaki snaps that little training toy he's using like a toothpick on his way to the brawler's face!!

He will also settle for breaking anything else associated with Billy along the way, as well.

Indeed, Billy glances towards the knife, squinting as he reads his own name on it. That's rather amusing in a way. It probably cost a small fortune just for a subtle intimidation that might not be noticed by lesser men. "A hurt locker? You ain't fucking stating poetry either, Yama." Although the comment about Seishirou causes him to harden slightly. Just like that damn meddlesome ninja to spread propaganda. Bet he didn't add in that he nearly got his jaw broken being HIT by that laundry, did he?! Another groan when Yamazaki again tries to be clever. This is why the man needs to just talk with his fists instead. Indeed, he whirls up his weapon, trying to slip it in front of the sadistic man opposite. But see, Billy made a mistake. He's using his training staff still. And Yamazaki is not particularly kind about handicaps. But that's nothing. Billy still gets it where he needs to get it. The issue is Yamazaki FUCKING PUNCHES THROUGH IT, shattering the wood and lead inner lining, and still having enough oomph to slug the Brit in the chest. Blood spews from his mouth as eyes bulge, and he flies away with remarkable speed. Hitting a mirror, it shatters into hundreds of motes, raining down over him as Billy slumps to the ground, bowed forward. He looks at his broken remnant of staff, and hucks it aside. "Alright... You want me to start out with hardball?! I'll fucking HARD YOUR BALLS HARDER THEN THEY'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE!!" He's scrambling to his feet now. Oh yes. Pain train is COMIN'.

"There's a reason for that. It's this--"

Yamazaki shows his fist to Billy, still dripping the enforcer's blood, and pieces of his staff. See. He isn't just any hired goon. He's a hired house of pain, and he's gonna have Billy inside him for the next year, if he has his way. Licking the handle of that knife, his hand slips back into his pocket. Not til he's warmed up, love.

"This time, it's gonna be different. I'm gonna wreck your face til your own momma runs from ya!!!"

Pause--"The hell kinda porno shit you talkin about, Kane!!"

"Don't talk about my balls! Assholes like you don't deserve to have my balls come outta your mouth!!"

One step forward. His hard-edged boot pistons up til his knee meets his chest. From that position, he can look up and lick the toe of his own boot, if he had any need to. As it stands though, the berserk mercenary is just getting started. Oh yeah. Starting off with the scent of Brit blood makes it a damn good day. He pitches over, his center of gravity all coming down after Billy, the traction-enhanced rubber sole of his boot reflected hundreds of times in the shattered mirror before--for good or ill, his foot impacts flesh or ground, landing with the kind of force that knocks a digital barbell off its stand halfway across the place.

"So you're just proving your a masochist. No need for that! Coming to me to get whipped week after week proves it plenty!" Billy slithers to the side as he states this, reaching a rack of similar staffs. He plucks up a familiar crimson one, whirling it about to test for balance. Much better. Yet he has no real proper response to what comes next from the other man, just blinking before shaking his head in resignation. A half step back follows Yamazaki's advance, breathing in slowly and letting out an exhale, both hands grasping his shaft loosely. And then he jerks it hard, swishing forward and connecting with the descending heel with a snarl. For a brief moment, Yamazaki is stopped. But if he expected a test of power, he's wrong -- as Billy just lightly shoves it aside, and it crashes harmlessly into the ground adjacent. Wasting no time thereafter, he presses in close and /jams/ the end of his staff towards Yamazaki's throat, aiming to twist around and then heave him over his shoulder, with the end result of hopefully depositing him face-first in the middle of the room. "HAAAA!!"

For a second, Yamazaki's boot collides with Billy's shaft--it's not as hard as he thought it'd be. For a second, the mercenary thinks he has him--all it'll be from that point onward is he's going to break stick after stick after stick of Billy's and tear him in half eventually. Unfortunately, the lighter heft on this one--closer to the real thing, if not the real thing itself--doesn't mean it's more fragile. It just means Billy can react with it better, deflecting Yamazaki's boot to empty all that force into the earth harmlessly.

Yamazaki would retort, but his throat is currently wrapped around Billy's stick.

A vague instant later, the bastard throws him face-first through a rack of weights, sending the rack and the weights flying everywhere, the massive form of the mercenary rolling over with the rack. "ugh--argh--"

"-=-ARGH-=-"

"WHIP ME ALL YOU WANT CUS I'M GONNA KEEP COMIN' TIME AFTER TIME KANE!!"

At that point, Yamazaki literally headbutts the rack off of him, the steel flying through the air, obscuring his massive form before he literally just cuts the steel in half--with that switchblade of his. After that, he sets his sights squarely on Billy's face. And body. And staff. And--

Really, Yamazaki's just gonna cut him to ribbons, here.

Well, that certainly pissed him off. Sadly, that doesn't do a whole lot in terms of helping Billy win in the long run. He attempts to get out of the way of that whirlwind of steel, free hand knocking away one of the barbells that was flung in his general direction. Eyes narrow, but he can't. And when that is the case, there's simply nothing to be done about it. There's too many whisks of razor metal flying this way and that. The first few deeply gouge the wood of his bo staff, but then he starts deeply gouging the Billy behind. Staggering backwards, all he can do is protect his vitals before being thrown backwards by the blows, blood splattering the floor in a rather aesthetically pleasing manner. A crimson smear runs across the mirrored wall as he catches himself, slamming back his staff to stave off an outright collapse upon the ground. "Hah... hah..." Oh, this is Billy's serious face for sure. He rears back his arm, and then snaps it forward. Genuine deal indeed! The weapon breaks into three pieces tethered by chains, whistling out to slam into Yamazaki's chest. Only to be yanked back at the end of the arc, and hopefully send him bursting into flames for good measure. "JUST GO DIE!!" is roared out, defiantly. Despite his own not inconsiderable wounds!

Yamazaki         1/-------/=======|=======\-------\0            Billy


That's the trouble with Yamazaki--no matter how technically superior Kane might be, Yamazaki is still cut from the same cloth as him. The only difference is...

Yamazaki is a lot bigger.

Snapping up a meaty limb of his to interject in the affair, Billy's limp kane pimp cane smashes against the mercenary's body, mostly relying on sheer toughness to absorb the wicked amounts of force that Billy's capable of levelling, then the fire explodes into him, washing over the mercenary's body--

Until he slashes right through it, purple chi whipping off his hand with a massive crack as he swipes the explosion in half, "As if I'd die to a rat like you, Kane! No matter how long it takes, no matter how big it is, LIONS EAT RATS!"

With the sound of endlessly grinding steel and carving rifling right into the mat, causing foam to fly everywhere, the mercenary's thigh muscles explode with force as Yamazaki doesn't just settle for breaking down Billy's attack--he comes right through it, trying to whip Billy with a second--and third crack of that purple chi. Shortly followed by the freight train that's the source of that shrieking steel sound: the drilling force aura emanating from his opposite hand, formed into a massive haymaker torpedo punch that will probably go straight through the wall into the adjacent room if Billy doesn't do something about it in a hurry.

Well, this seems to indeed be Yamazaki's day. Billy just isn't having a whole lot of luck not getting his head crushed in like a melon when it comes to staving off his more murderous onslaughts. Although he was thoroughly staggered by the blazing weapon, and he retracts it just scarcely ahead of the other man, now he has an airborne Yamazaki to deal with. And he deals with that by hurling his weapon and missing by a good meter. Now he's utterly open, and cowers away, shivering like a little girl. Yes... draw closer, like a moth to the flame of ass rape!! But as he begins to move, Yama just moves a little faster. A razor's edge where the raper becomes the rapee! Tensing and trying to sweep up his hand to catch the chi infused fist, only to get horribly, horribly maimed instead. Close enough for government work, really! Somewhere in the midst of the blazing onslaught, Billy goes rather limp, and shatters a wall for good measure, leaving glass and wood and some steel reinforcements behind. Oh, he's down. Yamazaki will know this rather distinctly. ...but he slaps one hand into the ground, then the other, growling as he starts to rise, languid and painfully. Blood drips from his knife ravaged and beaten body, but he twists back towards the other man, knees shaking. "Not... done with you... yet!!"

Yamazaki skids to a stop, his fist trailing smoke and vaporized bits of Billy's flesh, his haunches almost bursting the seams of his jeans as his rubber soles burn against the floor to regain traction. Even so, he can only stop for real when Billy's body crashes into the wall, the shock reverbating into Yamazaki's bones.

Most importantly, the blood.

Catching the scent of it...

The mercenary stumbles back in two steps, his body bending at an odd angle until he grips his forehead with one blood-soaked hand, one eye visible between back and pinky finger, opening wide. "--oh.. you don't know how long I dreamed of getting you cold with one of those, sweetheart..."

What?

"I kinda wanna savor it--"

He's squeezing his own skull. His own skull tighter than anything--

"..but you'll just weasel out of it--"

He grins wide enough for his lips to turn white.

"NOBODY CHEATS ME OUT OF MY MONEY!!"

Seemingly made of some kind of rubber, he snaps to, the berserker's arm shooting off like cannon as his arm whips around in a space-defying blow aimed for Billy's eyeball!! It's not important at this point who lives and who dies--

--wait.

Yeah it is!!!!

He's gonna make sure that fucker stays down!!!

Softened, eh? Billy ponders at this pivotal moment why he first got Yamazaki to try to kill him like this. It was because he lost touch with the true taste of battle, balls to the walls where it's not just a game and sport. And it seems he's come full circle now, his training becoming rote and by the numbers. A dulled knife; if not so dull that this wasn't a hard and close fought battle for Yamazaki, who overpowered multiple attempted defenses that might of turned the tide. An unexpected swing of his unassembled staff tries to wrap around the lightning fast hand. It does coil, but before it goes taut he's slammed right in the face. He had made no response but this maneuver, and when he spins away, stumbling, blood dribbling down his mouth, it might not be immediately apparent if he's going to go down. But his arm blindly feels for support that's not there, staff clattering from limp fingers. "Ssss....on... of a bttchghgurgle..." One knee. His hand slams to the ground, body tense and shuddering, as inch by inch he continues to go lower... A white haze of pain, not knowing up from down, but only wanting to avoid the full contact with the ground. The contact that bodes his loss!!

[OOC] Yamazaki says, "!!!"

Yeah. That's the way Yamazaki likes it. Rough. Hard.

Someone could probably make some kind of a joke about that being eaten alive. And liking it! Drunk off the taste of blood, Yamazaki could only snap that blurring fist into Billy's face before the staff can stop him. He was winded--truthfully, Yamazaki spent more in a few minutes with Billy than most people would spend throughout an entire tournament. But that's the thing.

That's how you /fight/ in the streets.

Technical skill. Martial artistry? Billy knows as well as Yamazaki that it's just a pipe dream. When it comes down to it, it all matters who's better on that day, and who's smarter on that day. Yamazaki has his intern plan to thank.

"That's more like it," the mercenary reiterates, his hand stretching out into a claw as Billy sinks onto the ground..

..watching Billy sink a little more...

Did he move up a little? 'zaki can't tell.

Yamazaki looks nettled, "F-- stop milking it, Kane!"

Billy is just--just lingering!!

Yamazaki starts to audibly choke. "Fuckin' beanhead--I'll kill you more!"

Picking up the rack of weights with one gloved hand, Yamazaki swings it into the air over to Billy. And then he rips the rack of staffs off the wall, and throws that at him too!! He's just going to start stacking shit on Billy til he tastes the mat. Yeah, that's right--son of a bitch that he is. "Say uncle!!"

[OOC] Suzume dies

[OOC] Suzume says, "beanhead"

"S,sorry... you hit... like a girl..." Billy manages to mumble out through a bloody mouth that feels like it's full of oatmeal. He's struck in the back by the weights however, and drops down until his forehead smacks upon the matt, all his weight upon an elbow. A few inches are raised, before he's then got a huge rain of staffs pelting him like some unholy hail. Again he crashes down, and all his strength only manages to make him roll over upon his back instead, head lolling bonelessly. For a few moments wild eyes glare at the ceiling, then roll back into his head. Oh no. Billy ain't gonna say uncle. The only reason he's not still kicking and screaming is he's now VERY UNCONSCIOUS. Although fingers twitch and his knee jerks now and then, as if even then he's not throwing in the towel. Probably just the kind of unbreakable spirit that Yamazaki hates!!

Shihong has disconnected.

[OOC] Geese explodes into a thousand grinning geese heads

Geese has disconnected.

At this point Yamazaki is trying to tear the wall-mounted TV off the wall-mount, and probably the wall mount off the wall it's mounted in, feverishly looking for something that's solid, compact and heavy to put on top of Billy until he has no other choice but to acknowledge Yamazaki's superiority, until Billy gets his attention--

And then promptly passes out.

"WHAT--YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"

He punches a hole in the TV furiously.

He'd stomp on Billy's head, but he needs him to pay him when he regains consciousness.

Finally, he just snatches a half-filled sports water bottle off a bench. It doesn't matter whose it is, Yamazaki is just fine with pretending it's Billy's. "I'm takin' this," he rages, and then stalks out of the gym.

A few minutes later, the TV falls off the wall and explodes on the floor.
