Description: Raiders of the Last Temple of the Crystal Crusade: An Indiana Jones inspired SNF, brought to you by Howard Enterprises. A female Indy (Vanessa) with the help of Mutt (Tenma), need to fend off a horrible Nazi (Nagare), and the Russian scum (Chae Lim), as they pursue a wonderful (yet fictional!) treasure in an ancient tomb in Al Khazeneh. Who knew the tomb would be filled with traps and devices? With snares, and bees, and giant boulders... who's got time to worry about the other team? As one film critic put it: Why that was the worst Indiana Jones-inspired movie ever! Special Hint: The 'bad guys' win. (Winners: ChaeLim and Nagare)
Saturday Night Fight is, as always, a place for spectacle... And what says 'spectacle' quite like borrowing concepts from a Hollywood blockbuster?
The Howard Enterprises entertainment juggernaut is, of course, able to obtain all the rights it needs to get these things done; they have the money and the lawyers to throw around to see to /that/. So it comes to pass that the lines between reality and fiction blur beneath Al Khazneh, in an ancient tomb as much modern technological wizardry as it is legitimate historical crypty goodness.
And what about the fighters? As usual, the Saturday Night Fight costuming department is... Overzealous, wanting to make sure they all look accurate, dynamic, and one hundred percent marketable.
And this is why Tenma Kiryuu /hates/ costume matches.
Muttering to himself, the Gedo swordsman crouches on his haunches in a corner of the crypt, looking all but unrecogniseable. His nape-length black hair has been slicked back with what feels like plaster of paris, ensuring that even under the worst of circumstances, it'll never reach more than 'artfully mussed'. Otherwise, he's been clad in the outfit of a greaser, with a beat up old leather jacket, dark blue jeans and a white t-shirt. Vintage motorcycle goggles dangle around his neck, and his feet are clad in boots just as battered and heavy-duty as the jacket, and god he feels stupid.
"I can't /believe/ this," Tenma mutters to himself, turning his bokken over in his hands. That, at least, he was allowed to keep... But only because it's rather integral to his fighting style. His only hope for solace is that someone else looks as silly as he does.
"Oh, lighten up!" chimes the significantly older (but by the miracle of amazing genetics, not much older-/looking/) redhead leaning against one wall of the crypt. Vanessa is fairly certain they won't have turned the traps on yet. No point in mutilation before the cameras are rolling.
The Boxer is dressed in a natty white shirt and khaki pants, with a leather jacket, a satchel across her shoulder, and a broad-rim hat tipped at a rakish angle. The shirt is unbuttoned to a degree that can only be adequately described as 'precarious'; Vanessa does not seem to have a problem with this or the spirit gum it necessitated. They seem to like putting her in costume matches. This is the first time in a while she's had one that wasn't completely ludicrous, so she's pretty happy, and is grinning like it. "It's all in good fun, right? You kids these days are so grumpy, live a little!"
Grumpy is a very good word to describe the Korean girl. Normally, she's quite a bit more chipper when entering a match. Cordial even. But there are a few problems with this set up. For one, while the Russian in the movie was most obviously not even played by a Russian, she most definitely was NOT a Korean either. The costumers attempted to cut her hair, and color her bangs.
That's the point Chae Lim drew the line and bolted.
So, while she's appearing a little earlier than perhaps expected, she's still in the midst of fastening a black belt with a gold buckle and fake sword about her waist and pulling on some horrendously unfashionable black gloves.
The rest of the outfit isn't much better for her. A drab grey-ish blue wool material covers her from neck to ankles, the only color breaking up the monotony at all being a series of gold buttons down the front. At least when she steps out scowling, she looks the part, as opposed to being a rather happy, chipper person.
The costume, however, is not the reason for her scowl. While the design of it can't be faulted on those affiliated with SNF (at least this time!), putting a champion of JUSTICE in the position of evildoer is.
"This really doesn't feel right," she mutters.
Well now, the substance is there. It isn't any more harmful than Halloween.
But now, with the student and the boxer dressed as they should be, Nagare must be dressed as well. While Chae Lim's outfit may be astounded, Nagare the man who wears almost nothing has decidedly been forced to wear something in this match.
And out he comes. On his hand he wears a headband with a swatstika, and on top of those war pilot glasses. His coat? Well, that's been replaced as well. Instead and in place of said coat, he now wears a NAZI coat. A rather bulky one, looked as if it was drafted upon world war two when they fought the RUSSIANS. It should be about the right thing, as Geese's people gave it to him. You know it's authentic with the swatstika arm band.
But what else? Nagare still has his flippers and speedo. Nothing saves you from that offense. /Nothing/.
There, Nagare waddles in, looking towards all around. "Hey! Lets have a good fight!" Nagare announces with a smile. Yes, even in full Nazi uniform. "Well, think of it as Trick Or Treating. We're just, well, think like you're an actor! Get a battle cry!" Nagare knows what he is doing. It just sort of... works.
"Mph," Tenma grouses, looking over his shoulder at Vanessa. "Easy for you to say, Auntie."
He says that, but he /does/ notice the mostly unbuttoned shirt. Hey, he's a teenager, what do you expect?
Rising to his feet, as Chae Lim makes her arrival, Tenma turns towards the COMMUNIST and her scowl, noting: "And you said /I/ look grumpy," before he lifts his left hand to his mouth, biting into the flesh of his thumb hard enough to draw blood, red trickling down his skin. The bloodied digit is dragged along the length of the wooden practice sword the Gedo gang member carries, forging the first portion of the chi link; as Tenma sweeps his weapon through the air, the link is finalised, energy pouring through the blade, a violent aura of misty red energy enveloping it.
And then Nagare shows up.
The swimmer's mode of dress - Goebbels on top, Phelps on the bottom - elicits a vaguely horrified look from Tenma Kiryuu. "...That guy's all yours, Auntie," he tells Indiana Vanessa.
Because, seriously. Ew.
The shirt was probably Vanessa's idea. She's...like that.
Either way, the older woman turns, hands on her hips (her habitual black gloves are the only concession she wheedled out of the costuming department, after the last guy who tried to take her gloves off had to have his teeth replaced), and says back at Tenma, "Yeah, I can't argue with you on that one," as she sees Chae Lim enter. She looks over as Tenma starts biting himself, and her frown is the usual expression of people who see this for the first time and wonder what the hell that was about. Then he does the chi link thing, and Vanessa is reminded of why she prefers punches.
Nagare's appearance elicits a blank stare from Vanessa, who has seen him before. But it's always a little baffling. "Uhhh...hi again!" she manages, and then asides to Tenma, "You keep calling me 'auntie' and I'll shove your face in it."
She leaves 'it' undefined, for maximum horror.
"I'm NOT grumpy," Chae Lim snaps at Tenma. "I'm irritated. There's a vast difference." Frowning, she turns to Nagare. "Halloween was over a month ago. The time for Trick-or-Treating is done." Haughty? Perhaps a little, but she really doesn't like being cast as the villain. It's just not in her to be the villain (despite the fact that her attitude is very much sucking right now).
Taking several deep breaths, she turns to the 'good guys' again. "I look forward to the challenge, but we are the ones that will be leaving here with the treasure of Al Khazneh!" Or they will die trying. Or perhaps just get injured trying.
Injuries are much better than death.
Nagare does not seem to notice the distaste of everyone else in his visage, because, you see, Nagare is a man of very little need and want. And you can tell, quite seriously, that he finds nothing wrong with his outfit. It's for a little fight to spruce it up! He's been in worse.
Pawning off merchandise while you're trying to fight is much, much, much worse than this could ever be.
Nagare waddles forward, taking out a pellet gun from his jacket before aiming it towards Tenma, his head turned towards Chae Lim, a little hushed. "Yeah, it was, but we got a second chance!" Nagare exclaims with a smile, before turning back towards Tenma.
"That's right! Give us... the... Treasure! Or.... Else we will... take it?"
Oh, Tenma's encountered Nagare before. That time, they were fighting on top of tanks, which admittedly is a weird place to run into a swimmer.
Resting his bokken against his shoulder, Tenma seems quite unaffected by the power emanating from it, and he tilts his head to one side, a sly smile pulling at his mouth as he regards Chae Lim. "'Irritated', huh? Looks like dressin' up like some Russian chick ain't the only 'Red Scare' you're havin' today."
Yeah, he went there. And /he's/ the guy who slings blood everywhere.
Unsure just what 'it' Vanessa is referring to, Tenma nevertheless remains undaunted, either too brave or too foolish (or possibly both) to feel particularly intimidated. "Whatever you say, Auntie," the Gedo swordsman replies, waving his free hand vaguely. "Let's send these losers right to the first aid station." See, violence is something everyone can get behind, right? Fun for the whole family.
"I got your treasure right here!" Tenma pronounces, unwittingly falling right into the 'greaser' stereotype he's supposed to be portraying, as he brings his bokken down off of his shoulder in a broad vertical sweep. It's too far for him to actually, physically /strike/ either of their opponents, but don't worry; in the wake of the bokken's slash, a crescent of roiling crimson, blood and chi mingled together so closely as to be inseparable, is born... And it tears through the air towards Chae Lim. Uh oh?

Hey, hey remember in that one Indiana Jones film? The one where there was a 5.7 foot tall shaman who had a score to settle with the world to restore New Guinae to it's former glory, then was placed under a curse and sealed away for a million years? What? What do you mean you don't remember that, you're obviously not a true Indi fan you posers. The camera cuts to deep below the tomb, where a coffin that holds a man who felt a disturbing presence resides. He felt presence of those who wanted to take away his homes glory, and his mission was to put an end to all of them.
The lid draws open and the dark skinned man, covered in tribal tattoos, grass... Somethings, a white loincloth and most importantly.. A HUGE-ASS GREEN MASK on his face raises from the dead. "Who dares awaken I, Rab Kaneg, once more.." he slowly gets to his feet and staggers over to a crystal ball that rests on a pillow atop a broken pedastal. He rubs his hands, the crystal glowing brightly. "The foolish humans dare invade this sacred land, they seek to taint it with their filthy sinner hands.. But I will be sure to end them.. End their miserable lives swiftly!!"
"Kids these days just don't know how to shut up, do they?" Vanessa sighs, shrugging helplessly when Tenma goes haring off in the name of destroying the heathen Russo-Nazis. She gives a look to ChaeLim, hoping she's going to be OK against someone who apparently FIGHTS WITH HIS BLOOD (Vanessa knows just enough about chi to find this alarming), and then she settles into bouncing back and forth in her boxing stance, hopping between her feet and then calling, "You want it, eh? Well then, big man, come and TAKE IT!"
Despite the words, Vanessa Jones does not stand there, but instead blurs /forward/, moving a little faster than the eye can readily track, driving across the distance between her and Nagare in the blink of an eye and ending with her fist slamming into his manly Nazi chest!

Since she's not Russian, and not evil, there is only one thing Chae Lim can do at this point.
Plagiarize.
Pulling a line directly from the vile villainous she's meant to be portraying, she does her utmost best to sneer at Tenma after bringing an arm up as she twists her body to stop his bloody chi from spoiling the costume fully.
"Eager to start; quick to finish." While not the entirety of the line, it's all the poor Korean girl can remember from the dialogue.
The words are followed up with a swift vertical kick angled toward Tenma's face.

Well now, Nagare didn't expect /THAT/ to happen so quickly! Aimed to keep his aim upon Tenma, he completely forgets about Vanessa before it's too late! Nagare's given a rather terrible blow as well, as Vanessa rips forward, thrusting out into Nagare's chest. Being thrown backwards, actually rolling he loses the pellet gun he was holding, only to have Vanessa knock him so far backwards it hurts! The punch, in itself, was palpably destructive.
"W-woah. I'm seeing double." Nagare announces as he wobbles to stand up once more before his Nazi chest will stop hurting. But almost like that, Nagare is not even finished! In a moment of self sacrifice, or something like that, Nagare begins to ascend.
And ascend he does, up and up and up, swimming into the air as you could imagine.
And then, he just lets go, coming right down toards Vanessa. "We will take your treassue and kill off all the loinclothed green men!" He calls as he dives.

"Hey, you're half right," Tenma replies, as Chae Lim's foot instead impacts with the chi-empowered wood of the teen's sword, the jarring impact running up his arms for all that he manages to mitigate the worst of the potential harm, residual force driving him back half a step. Well, there's plenty of strength behind the TKD girl's attacks, but... Tenma's not about to admit it.
For the moment unaware of whatever hijinks might be brewing elsewhere, at the hands of this 'Rab Kaneg' - though Tenma and everyone else will probably find out soon enough - the Kiryuu heir grins eagerly, and presses the attack against Chae Lim.
Staying in close, Tenma brings his bokken down in a two-handed strike, aiming to slash Chae right along her currently Russian front, reversing the blade at the bottom of the slash before swinging it back /up/, tracing a narrow V-shape that, hopefully, puts the hurt on little miss JUSTICE. "Hyaa--!!"

Vanessa's a fast little bugger, particularly when she feels in the zone! She looks off to one side momentarily, but when Chae Lim is not immediately murdered, decides to focus on her own fight. A little beating is good for the kids, it builds character and romantic tension, or something.
Nagare uses his powerful chi skill to swim up into the air to the top of the room, and then he comes hammering down toward her like a rocket. "Whoa!" Vanessa hisses, swinging her arms up in a sturdy block. It's not a great execution, she thinks, but it'll do; she pushes the attack back, calling, "You leave those boys alone, man! What did they ever do to you! ...whatever it was, I bet you're doing worse to me right now!" She swings back then, following up her original punch with another!

Mudma- Er, I mean the Dangerous Rab Kaneg has no intention of letting the mortal humans escape his tomb alive, no all that waits for them is death and dispair. They will face things their deepest nightmares would have never had thought to create, traps that will scar their innocent minds for all eternity. They will pass on their pains to their children for years and years to come.. Their fate is in the hands of this shaman! He watches closely within his crystal ball, hidden lips curling up into a wicked smile, "Yes.. Yes, draw closer do your death, human.." he grumbles as he nods his head.
He raises his palms in the air and slams them togeather with a loud clap, "Death to ALL!"
Chae Lim and Nagare thought that had problems now? They were just beginning, Tenma and Vanessa are putting enough pressure on them to perhaps miss the fact that they are close to activating the first trap of doom, after Tenma pushes Chae's foot aside it ends up stomping onto a particular stone.. Both she and Nagare only have SECONDS to react before their ankles are snared by a lasso and risk getting slung right up to the roof to slam against it. The good news is, though, the ropes (of doom)'d break afterward, so they're not left dangling like suckers for long.

Uh oh.
Without even realizing it, the Korean (pretending to be a poorly dressed female Russian Colonel), is forced to set off a trap! Her reaction upon hearing the noise of the lasso coming down is to avoid it.
Unfortunately for Chae Lim, the bad guys in these movies never win, and in fact wind up getting pummeled by the good guys and helplessly wandering right. Into. The trap.
It's in the script, honest.
Her first mistake was trying to avoid the snare. In doing so, she walks right into the slashing bokken. "Gah!" It doesn't exactly tickle, so Tenma gets his wish of making the girl of JUSTICE feel pain. The non-tickling attack (in a very comical good-guy-beating-bad-guy way), sends the faux-Russian right back into the snare, whereupon she hits the room, bounces and then drops to the ground.
Giving her head a wobbly little shake, she rolls over onto her back and kip ups to her feet. Costume-prop sword is drawn from the sheathe at her side, and she grins at Tenma. "Your luck won't last!" At least she hopes it won't. There she stands, training the sword upon the one with the weapon.
With a speedy twist though, she's focusing her attention on Vanessa. Her right foot lifts from the ground, an almost invisible wind energy encompassing it. The foot is then swiftly slammed downward toward Vanessa's own foot, the energy bursting forth in a small explosion as it makes impact (be it with foot or ground). The explosion, accompanied by a rather large shockwave may even knock a few stones loose.

It all happens so fast! Even as Nagare hammers down and flops about, Vanessa's hissing and her swinging arms sends Nagare battered backwards, the great swimmer surprised to see his move simply detered like that! But what's even more surprising is how fast Vanessa strikes in turn, a terrible punch ripping for Nagare's chest! Oh no!
And not just that. Rab Kaneg appears on the scene, Nagare mock-hissing at the very mention of a third party to give him and Chae Lim a great ol' hug!
"Oh, no, we'll kill them all! And then we'll kill you!" Nagare announces, the lasso about his feet grasping powerful before Nagare completely is thrown backwards, flipping out as he wiggles, only to get thrust right in the chest by Vanessa!
And Nagare topples backwards! But wait, what's this?! Is Nagare actually swimming... he is! And what's coming up for Vanessa's chin, well, think of it as the OPPRESSION of HITLER'S THIRD REICH FOOTERCUT UP!
The satisfying impact of chi-empowered bokken against Korean fashionista certainly picks up Tenma's mood, though the fact that she gets ensnared by some kind of... Snare... Is a bit more confusing. "...The hell are you doin' up there?" Tenma wonders of Chae Lim, before the rope snaps and releases her to fall to the ground. The remark about his luck not lasting - Tenma wouldn't know if it was from the movie anyway, he never saw it - is met with a snort. "I make my own luck," Tenma says, cocky as always.
...And then he looks frustated as Chae goes haring off after Vanessa. "Hey!! What the hell?!" the Gedo swordsman demands irritably, lunging after Chae.
Tenma isn't the sort of person to shy away from taking a cheap shot now and again, after all, his lunge turning into a full extension of his swordarm, aiming a strike at the Korean girl's back that would, with a more normal sword qualify as a 'stab'. As it is though... It'll probably sting some!

Vanessa is not called the Boxing Queen due to her skill at distributing hugs to the needy.
The traps come into play, and Vanessa's eyes widen in surprise as her enemies go soaring into the ceiling. ChaeLim is directing a kick at her, and Nagare is coming at her...OK, she has an idea!
Vanessa's arms rise up, letting her catch Nagare's incoming flippercut before it hits her chin. It hurts like hell, but she shoves the attack away, then pivots toward ChaeLim and--
--It's not quite right to say she /vanishes/. She doesn't teleport or anything crazy like that. But her movements are only a step shy, as the boxer glides more quickly than the eye can catch, and ends it already inside ChaeLim's guard, too fast for the other to react. Vanessa shouts, "UPPER!" as she unloads a staggering uppercut for ChaeLim's chin!

Even though she's aware that she's supposed to be the 'villain' of this particular Saturday Night Fight, Chae Lim has a point where even she gets more agitated than she already was.
Someone entering her space, breaking past her guard with a movement more swift than her own? That's what does it this time. As the fist meets with her chin, sending her sprawling backward and causing a spray of bloody spittle. Before she can even wipe the blood from her mouth, she can hear the footfalls behind her. Shifting her weight to her left foot, she spins around and slows the stabbing bokken with her own prop sword. "Ha!"
Between the greaser and the 'hero', the Korean girl glares at Vanessa. Her body slowly turns toward the woman...
... then swiftly roundhouse kicks herself around to send a barrage of attacks upon Tenma. Kick after kick is shot off toward him. Roundhouses, snap-kicks, hooks... and it's all finished off with a sharp vertical kick, once more aimed toward his face.
Oh no, Chaelim is being brutalized! That's no good at all, thinks Nagare.
But not Reichschild Nagare Untz the third! ChaeLim is weak! She is getting pummeled! They have plans for her, oh yes they do! But they will come into play later. Much, much later.
About five minutes if not earlier.
Vanessa is able to stop his flippercut?! No! For some reason, Nagare the Nazi had put everything into that... except... except! Nagare knows what he must do.
"You cannot defeat us!" Nagare exclaims, moving for, out of everything, the rather bulky item of choice! A rock, a large rock. A very very large rock. And instead of throwing it, Nagare begins to push it. Directly towards Vanessa. Roll roll roll your nazi rock.
Gently down the Vanessaaaaa.

A more sensible man than Tenma Kiryuu would probably have tried to get out of the way of Chae Lim's attacks; maybe try to block them a little bit, who knows. But not him, oh no. Channelling all the foolhardy spirit of his greaser predecessors, Tenma steps /into/ it.
To his detriment.
Maybe he miscalculated, maybe Chae Lim just kicks really hard (and high); who knows? What IS clear is that Tenma eats the barrage of kicks full on, body rocking with each impact of the Korean fashionista's mighty feets, the final vertical kick driving him right off of his own pins, sending him into a rather uncontrolled backflip that sends him through some terribly realistic spiderwebs, and ends up with him face down on the dusty stone underfoot.
"Gnngh," Tenma says.
Pushing himself back up, Tenma looks not at all discouraged by this turn of events. "Hey, hey. Looks like you've got a few tricks up your sleeve, huh?" His hair, so carefully slicked back by the SNF crew, somehow manages to not get mussed /at all/.
At this point, then, the /actual goddamn tarantula/ that was in the spiderweb crawls up onto Tenma's shoulder, spooking him. "Gah!!" exclaims the Gedo swordsman, knocking the spider away - towards Chae Lim - and then he regains enough presence of mind to try following the hopeful arachnid distraction up with an attack of his own, rushing at the supposed communist with a diagonal low to high slash of his bokken, letting the momentum play out before he slashes again, this time horizontally, a two-handed power swing.

Nagare swings at Vanessa once again, comes at her with a GREAT BIG ROCK. Vanessa repels it again, reflexively sweeping away and to the side of Nagare. But she doesn't press the attack immediately; instead, she takes a moment, sweeping the hat off her head and running a hand through her eternally slightly mussed red hair, wet with sweat. "Hahhh," she murmurs, readjusting the hat and then grabbing her jacket, resettling it on her shoulders with a bodily jerk. "Well then," she murmurs, smiling a smokey sort of smile. "Why don't we give that theory a whirl, big guy."
And then she's moved again, shooting across the distance toward Nagare, fists flying at him with wild abandon - "BODY! BODY! BODY! -- UPPER!!"
The mysterious magical villain seems pleased with the results of his first trap although while they were no doubt deadly.. They were not quite deadly -enough-. Mudma- Erm, the Incredible Rab Kaneg peers into his crystal ball with a look of.. Masked disdain. What evil, dastardly, life-threatening traps does he have planned this time? He raises his hands in the air and slaps his palms togeather, causing the the 'shake up' special effect to activate.
The floors shake, chips of the walls fall away, and there are a few flashes of light, simulating lightning, despite the fact that, well, lightning really couldn't be seen from where they are. Well, anyway, the area soon settles down, and the villains get their moment to strike. But once they do the next trap springs, and from the newly made holes come a swarm of very upset and extremely prejudiced bees (of death). They must hate slicked back hair and unbuttoned shirts, because they're just swarming all over the place, but attempting to bite and sting Tenma and Vanessa. And after a round or two about the duo they.......
Wait for it....

Oh, hello giant furry spider. Chae Lim peeks at the eight-eyed critter for a moment, then turns her attention on the greaser. "Using a defenseless tarantula to distract me? You WILL pay for that..."
Amusingly enough, it may not even be by her own hands. Floor shaking, she presses up against a wall to avoid falling on anymore traps -- the last one was less than pleasant. The surprise earthquake allows her to avoid the initial swipe of the bokken so that she can duck under the weapon as it's drawn higher.
Scooping the tarantula up, she moves it out of harm's way (it may be a tarantula, but it will still go squishy-squishy under fighter-feets).
Speaking of feet, those of the Korean girl leave the dusty ground allowing her to flip toward Tenma to shoot off a double overhead kick that should see her landing in a crouched position on the ground as she attempts to avoid any further trap-setting-off.
"YAAAAAH!"

Vanessa... stopped a boulder?! Unbelieavable! Nagare had pushed that rock directly towards her, but instead, the rock repells it directly towards the side of Nagare. That fiend! That fiend! Ohhh! Nagare is going to be so man when he... well, when he whats? Well, even as Vanessa powers herself forward, attempting to blast him with fists, the limber Nazi of Norway or somewhere inbetween begins to move.
The fists fly around him, not even one hits! Nagare just moves, he weaves and goes and dodges! He makes!
But evil is on the rise, even just a little as Nagare comes out towards Vanessa with a move so terrible that even she cannot believe it! Do you see the Nagare, taking out his rifle from his jacket! Do you believe that the Nazi is using his... well he isn't shooting anyone! He's throwing the large rifle right at Vanessa!

Why is the ground /shaking/?! Tenma's awkward footing can only make it easier for Chae Lim to avoid his slashing attacks, and then oh sweet candy Buddha /bees/. Tenma tries to keep after Chae Lim despite the sudden swarm, but he can't manage it, and his attempts just piss them off /more/, leaving him extraordinarily uncomfortable afterwards. That... Really hurt for a bunch of bees.
Tenma hopes he isn't allergic.
The Korean fashionista, in all her Russkie glory, flips over to kick him... And Tenma lets it happen, bracing himself against the violence. And when Chae lands in her crouched position, Tenma is still standing.
And he's grinning.
His right hand swings back, the slight curve of his wooden sword forming a shallow crescent behind the Kiryuu heir. His left hand pushes forward, contorting lightly into a simple mudra position as an aid to focus. He focuses on a single point, in front of himself, and the energy radiating from his bokken intensifies, a violent red glow that obscures the wood entirely, until Tenma seems to be holding a sword made completely out of blood.
Suddenly, Tenma springs forward, closing the distance between himself and Chae Lim, his hand still pushed in front of himself, his sword still held back. When he gets close enough to the Korean, Tenma twists, swinging his bokken in a vicious, powerful arc...
And if it hits, all of that chi will pass /through/ Chae Lim, striking the very flow of life through her body. Disrupting it, stealing her vitality and leaving behind only a cold, numb feeling. "This is... THE FINISH!!"

Vanessa's plan is brilliant. The bees mess it up.
She darts to one side, except instead of getting away from the swarm, they get in her eyes and ears and also her mouth, and Vanessa has to hack and spit and at one point in fact punches herself in the face, which means that Nagare's rifle conks her in the head, which means she lands on her butt and looks irate for about thirty seconds while she finishes spitting out bees.
She slowly rises up to her feet, visibly annoyed by this particular turn of events, shaking out her head and trying to focus. OK. Right. So that went completely the opposite of how it was supposed to. She's got to make up some of that ground she's lost...then, she has an idea. She shoves forward, crossing the crypt's distance in a blink, and levels one, single punch at Nagare's chest.

Were she not in the middle of a very serious fight as a very evil (though she's positive she can't play the role well) Russian woman, Chae Lim might actually snicker a teensy little bit at the plight of the other team.
Why?
Because it's rather surprising and amusing to see bees swarming around only two out of four people. Like Tenma and Vanessa were doused in pollen or some such before the match. Likely not the case, but amusing to think about all the same.
Her amusement, however seems as though it will be her downfall. Master Kim will not be amused at how she's let the antics of this fight distract her, and her seriousness is something she's going to have to take... uh... well... more seriously... if she's going to keep getting tossed into this silly costumed fights!
Attention focused on the bees, and not Tenma, she makes a fatal mistake. Her sword arm swings up to block the bokken again, only as it swings upward she realizes that somewhere along the way the prop sword has gone missing. "Oh cr--" The energy slams against her, but it doesn't stop there. It continues on through, sapping what little strength and energy she's got left.
"I..." The Korean girl attempts to draw herself to her feet, only to falter and fall back to the ground with a sharp yelp of pain. "I..." Coughing, she wipes her mouth. "It's... do svidanya..." Which is probably the only phrase of Russian the Korean girl knows at all.
With a strong resolve, she draws herself slowly to her feet. Doe brown eyes narrow upon the Mutt, and she leaps toward him with a kick. What follows is another series of quickly sent kicks -- or well, quickly for her in the state she's in. Chances are Tenma might not find them quick at all. Even so, she finishes things off with an overhead axe kick, and then assuming that horrifying bloody bokken doesn't crash into her and send her elsewhere, she falls with a thud to the ground.
But this isn't the last of her! Oh no, not at all. She may be out of this battle, but don't you know the 'bad guy' never dies? They just get severely injured for the sake of action movie drama, and then get paid more to come back and do the sequel! (Or whatever it's called when they make a trilogy, then a gazillion years later decide to make another film to allow aging actors a chance to relive their glory days...)

Vanessa plan is brilliant.
But, sometimes, the world dislikes smart plans. Animals get in the way of small plans, and the coup de grace, you are weak to guns. Not the bullets, guns.
As Vanessa slowly gets up, Nagare makes no strikes towards her, not even to get his gun. But that all changes immensely as Tenma rips forward, destroying his young ward! What?! He had... he had used so much in an attempt to ... okay he didn't use anything at all!
"You fiend!" Nagare cries, mockingly. "You haff defeated her, but we shall be victorius like the bees!"
Nagare leaps, swimming into the air even a the monsterous punch rips forward. She manages to hit his flipper as he takes off, directly towards Tenma's legs. And of all things, even as Chae Lim comes, he moves between them, or at least attempts to. There, Nagare will try to take him off his feet, and leave him open for ChaeLim. And if that fails?
Well, there is always the BACKWARDS PILEDRIVER done by a half naked german nazi swimmer.

Ahhh, satisfaction. Who says you can't get none?
The fury of his strongest attack striking home against Chae Lim is enough to make Tenma feel completely validated by the day's events - also, it assuages certain lingering worries in the back of his mind that he's somehow incapable of fighting women - but as good as he feels, that attack takes a lot out of him. Maybe a little /too/ much out of him, in fact, as the Korean girl flies at him again. He tries to avoid it, badly telegraphed by Chae Lim's weariness and accumulated injuries, but he just can't manage it.
Once again, he's caught by the repeated assault of Chae Lim's kicky goodness, and by the time he's released from that, he sees... Oh god it's Nagare, why.
Why.
"Hands /OFF/!" Tenma bellows, stabbing Nagare ferociously hard with his chi-empowered bokken even as the swimming half-Nazi tries to bowl him off of his feet. On the upside, it's enough to keep him from getting horribly piledrivered, but on the downside... Tenma's had about all he can take, here. He falls backwards, colliding with the stone, his bokken landing at his side with a clatter.
The aura vanishes with a sound like a slowly exhaled breath, and Tenma looks over towards Vanessa. "Tch... He's all yours, Auntie."

Vanessa's cunning plan to reduce Nagare to a thoroughly-punched pulp fails. Woe. Nagare breaks off to go flatting Tenma, who at the same time eats a faceful of Chae Lim's final gambit; the result isn't pretty, but puts the fight on more even ground, anyway. The Boxin' Archaeologist tips her hat at Tenma, saying, "Well, I'll take 'im, but you owe me a drink, kid."
With this quip proferred, Vanessa turns to Nagare. She has to think fast. This guy's been evading all her best attacks, and not taking a lot of hurt from everything else. But she can't just give up! So Vanessa closes in again - skating quickly across the distance, all but appearing next to Nagare, and swinging her fist out for his manly Nazi coat with a sudden punch!
Oh sweet bees, whatever would the gods do without you? And yet, yet it doesn't fully complete the job, does it? While two of the pesky humans are down, two remain according to the crystal ball and this displeases the Great Rab Kaneg. This displeases the Great Rab Kaneg greatly. "They grow ever closer to my sacred treasure.." he muses aloud, stroking the chin of his gigantic green mask. "It is time for me to get serious no more mercy." You know what he does then. His hands raise to the sky, and he claps his hands togeather, 'magically' preparing the next trap.. Of utter destructestationlypse.
But what exactly happens? Vanessa's fast feet end up tripping a wire, and there's a sound of a gust of wind from behind her. Though as it gets closer it sounds a whole lot less than wind and more like a flurry of tomahawks sailing through the air which, through the magic of awesome choreography, the sail and spin clear over Vanessa and instead crash just in front of her where.. Well wouldn't you know it, Nagare's standing on the invisible 'x'. Though don't worry, Nagare, they aren't really tomahawks they're just about eleven well sized, blunt rocks tied to handles. Totally different.

Nagare is a cunning villain. A nazi by any other name would not swim as sweetly. Here, Nagare, the champion of champions! Of Nazis.
Not exatly however, as Tenma, the lovable sidekick just slams into him as he attempts to drop him. Tenma breakes through, chi ripping back the swimmer and into his jacket. He's horribly wounded! That will never do.
Even as the swimmer is dropped back, Vanessa keeps thrusting forward, keeping the heat on without sweating. The punch crosses a great distance. So far that Nagare brings his arms up to stop it. It succeeds, being thrust backwards by the harsh strength that Vanessa pits behind it. But even then Nagare is far from finished! "Haha. The tressure is ours! My comrade is... uhhh... knocked out. This means it is all for... dramatic pause... me!"
Bees come out. BEES COME OUT. But not for him. But now, yes now, the Great Rab Kaneg aims to deal with the evil Nagare Von Swim! Tomahawks whip forward, Nagare moving forward directly into them.
But, you know, even after he does. The tomahawks imbed themselves into the wall by Nagare's coat. Nagare is stuck?!
CLOATHING IS IMPEDING NAGAE.
"W-woah! That was a close shave! Oh... uhm... I will not be stopped by such trickery! Ach... Liben?"

The FREAKIN' TOMAHAWKS are a surprise, but at least Vanessa's quick punch managed to hit something this time. "Not yet it ain't!" Vanessa barks, skipping back a ways to buy time to plan her next attack. She keeps her eye on Nagare, thinking...she has to keep the pressure on, but just flying in wildly isn't working out very well!
The Boxing Queen therefore takes a few moments to let Nagare pull himself loose, bobbing between her feet to keep loose while she tries to get a handle on the situation!

Even as the nazi jacket is lost, or at least some of it as pieces rip off here and there, Nagare falters, attempting to draw his eye upon Vanessa as she aims to simply just get a hold on the situation!
Well, Nagare isn't going to allow that! he swimmer moves with a fake 'Grrrrr' look in his eye. He will not allow her to stop him and get the tressure! Never! Never the treasure!
"No! You are not going to be victorious because I am a nazi and evil!"

Vanessa's moment of reflection works quite nicely; Nagare decides to make his own move, and Vanessa sees where she can act. "You know, it takes a little more than talkin' the party line to take me down, guy," she laughs, although she knows deeper down how much trouble she's in. She's fought Nagare several times now, and she hasn't actually /beaten/ him...any of them.
Nagare moves, and Vanessa blurs, faster than the cameras can track; one instant, she's cracking a smirk, and the next, she's right up inside his guard about five feet away, offering him a mean little grin, and flooring him with a vicious uppercut to the chin! "UPPER!"
Well, this was annoying. The two mortals were still alive. Though they weren't just alive, they were alive AND WELL. Clearly annoyed by this, the tribal trapmaster had little choice but to watch as the scenario unfolded, watch as they grew closer to the sacred treasure.. Desperate times were calling for desperate measures for the Fantastic Rab Kaneg, but luckily for him, Vanessa quite klutzily activates yet -another- trap. "Hah!"
She 'appearing' right atop of another trapped floor tile but what happens this time? Could it possibly be any worse than bees? The trap takes a moment to activate. Nagare has time to strike and step back since the disturbance of the force is more in his vision than her own. The answer is yes, and this is because now Vanessa isn't dealing with angry bees, she's dealing with a different angry swarm as these long, giant slithering beasts just abruptly dump down toward the woman, none of them are poisonous luckily, but that doesn't make their attempted flying headbutts at her shins to knock her off her feet as they escape any less pleasent. Snakes on a Dame, in theatres now.
Nazi-Gari's moment of inflection leads to terrible repercussions! In fact, even as Vanessa arks out as Nagare leads a powerful kicks towards her chst, she just blurs, ripping forward before a single uppercut is delivered, senting NaziGare flying away through the air and lands with a splat splay!
Nagare shakes his head, getting up once more. "Ha ha! Then I will have to talk harder!" Nagare announces in a brief moment of delay. But he goes, oh, he goes so quick towards Vanessa, his hands! Ohh! His hands are thrust forward with a nazi punch towards Vanessa's un nazi temple!
"You will not prevail....!"

Vanessa's highly mobile fighting style is serving the Fiendish and additionally Great Ran Kaneg well tonight, she can't seem to stop stepping on tripwires and pressure switches! But for all the traps that have gone off, she doesn't seem to be having a lot of problems coping with them! That's a good start for the boxer, anyway; the snakes slither out of nowhere, and Vanessa makes use of her mobility once again; Nazigare's punch comes at her and Vanessa deflects it to one side, and then she sweeps away casually, seeming to have no real concern for the snakes as she darts around the arena, moving with that quick speed that makes her so hard to catch. She moves around, and then...stops, briefly, taking a quick breath and grinning at Nagare. "Maybe not, but I can keep trying, right?" she laughs. "So, c'mon, then...let's kick it up a little more!"
She swings forward again, darting in too fast to track, and stops just short of Nagare's attacking range, swinging one fist down at the top of his head, and then another up at the bottom of his chin, both fists trailing golden chi while Vanessa barks, "HELLION!"

No chance at all! Hellion strikes down upon the swimmer, and lo and behold, the Nagare is given a rather terrible beating as he's thrust backwards.
"Oof!" Nagare announces as he's slammed, the strike knocked him backwards as his bottom chin swells. Oh no, he's about on his last breath! But that's okay! He knows what to do. Like all good Nazi's on their stomach fighting heroes, Nagare grasps for his pellet gun that overhangs the edge of a cliff... takes aim.. and...

But Vanessa is not faster than a bullet. The Boxing Queen manages to knock Nagare back and over toward that DRAMATIC CHASM (there is a net down there, right!?) but Nagare finds his gun and fires a pellet her way; it's nonlethal, but still, the welt hurts, and Vanessa steps back a little, grunting.

Vanessa Jones does slightly better than Nazigare; she sees the boulder coming, and bites out an angry, "ARE YOU KIDDING!?" and manages to scoot a fair few feet away before the boulder runs her right the hell over, knocking her to the side!
But while Nagare uses his manly Third Reich powers to fill his body with the love of Hitler, Vanessa emerges from behind the boulder, energy sparking around one fist already! She'd kind of hoped she could at least not get hit, maybe use it to better position herself, but in the end...
Well, no time to ponder. Vanessa focuses all her strength, gathering her energy into one fist, and shouts, "I'M NOT THROUGH YET!" as she sweeps out a punch to aim by, and then slashes her other hand across her body, unloading a hurricane-force chi gust downrange at Nagare! Maybe it will knock him down enough that Vanessa has a chance!

Vanessa Jones is in a pinch! The Nazi superman has not been pushed off the cliff to fall screaming to his hopefully-caught-by-a-stunt-mat doom as she planned!
In fact Nagare comes shooting at her, and this time, Vanessa's not nearly fast enough to catch on. She swings her fist out in a desperate attempt to push through Nagare's offense and hammer him away, but no! Nagare rips her up and kicks her to pieces, and there Vanessa lies - defeated on the floor.
Nazis win!?
Nagare blinks, falling backwards. He was sure he read somewhere that he was supposed to lose. Well, perhaps even he wanted to lose, but it seemed that he could not even manage that.
Falling over out of exaustion, Nagare doesn't move. He doesn't flinch nor does he do anything else after exhaustion takes over his body, wracking whatever strength he had left and using it towards breathing and living.
