Description: Bred is caught being the Milli Vanilli of street musicians, and the locals aren't happy. Enter the Maki, who doesn't take kindly to seeing her locals being ripped off, and takes things to a higher level!
At the Metro City Mall, at a local Cinnabon, a man stands before a hat, with a banjo in hand. He's singing into a microphone and playing the banjo, with the occasional person dropping money in the guitar case before him. This man is none other than Bred, Mad Gear's resident con man.
Meanwhile, at the Metro City mall, a blonde haired woman, familiar to many faces in Metro City, walks along through the mall, a stern look on her face as something tells her that something isn't quite right. Nonetheless, she strides along, giving an occasional nod to those who know her. If something's going on here with the Mad Gears, Maki's going to put an end to it, using force if she has to, since she knows those goons love a good fight.
Bred strums away at his banjo, as a small crowd gathers around his sultry voice. "Where do bad folks go where they die, they don't go to heaven where the angels fly, they go to a lake of fire and fry, don't seem 'em again 'til the fourth of July!" He breaks down into a banjo solo, people clapping as they toss money in the guitar case.
Bred had better look out, since Maki's getting closer to the Cinnabon where Bred happens to be playing. At first she doesn't pay much heed to the music, but then she casts a glance over at Cinnabon, apparently getting the urge for something sweet. And that's when she notices Bred playing the banjo. She glares at him, knowing what he does for a living as conning other people, and she's got a gut instinct that tells her that something is not right here. She slowly approaches...
Bred strums his banjo, going into another song. "Hey little sister what have you done, hey little sister who's the only one, hey little sister who's your super man, hey little sister who's the one you want, hey little sister shotgun! sister shotgun! sister shotgun!" Bred blinks as he starts repeating himself, over and over, kicking at the amp. A tape recorder pops open and explodes with a flurry of magnetic tape, the music coming to a halt. People start booing, as Bred gulps. This might get ugly.
At first, Maki is stunned, and then starts laughing as she slaps her knee with one hand, shaking her head at what has just happened. "What happened? Trying to imitate Milli Vanilli in order to try to make yourself famous?" But that tone almost immediately changes to a more stern tone as Maki narrows her eyes at Bred and says, "Looks like your little scheme is up, though. And I don't think the others here are happy. I don't want to resort to force, but if need be..." She reaches behind her and comes back with her tonfa.
Bred narrows his eyes at Maki. "Hey, yew, yew're that stupid bitch! One of Haggar's friends, right?" he asks, sneering. He reaches into his suspenders and draws a bowie knife, spinning it about in his hand. "Yew jes come right here and take yer medicine!" he growls, people gathering around to watch the fight coming.

Maki jumps up and down a few times, almost like she's warming herself up for the fight. And then gets into her fighting stance and waves her tonfa at Bred to show that she's armed too. "Oh I'll take my medicine, because I'm sick... of you Mad Gear losers ruining things around here! And the cure is to take you punks out!" Maki then watches Bred carefully, keeping an eye on his knife while waiting for his next move.
COMBATSYS: Maki focuses on her next action.

Bred laughs at Maki. "Take us out? Yew can't stop Mad Gear! We're like a crazy octopus, with all sorts of tentacles! Yew chop one off, another one grows back!" He reaches up and flings his knife at Maki, sending it hurtling through the air at her center of mass, right at the base of her chest.
COMBATSYS: Maki dodges Bred's Arkansas Toothpick.

Aiming for a girl's chest? Shame on you Bred. But then again, the Mad Gears were never known for having manners (what kind of villainous group would?) Nevertheless, the knife misses its mark completely, landing in a nearby pillar, since Maki just happened to crouch down swiftly as it came directly at her. Meanwhile, Maki herself gets up from her crouch and attempts to grab Bred and slam him to the ground.
COMBATSYS: Maki successfully hits Bred with Quick Throw.

Bred gets grabbed by Maki and slammed into the ground, grunting as he hits his face on the floor. He pushes himself up, his face bloody, and hisses, "Yew jes made a huge mistake!" He swings out with his fist, aiming to clock Maki across the face. "I'm gonna wipe my ass with yer face, yew dumb bitch!" he shrieks, blood dribbling down his chest.
COMBATSYS: Maki fails to interrupt Quick Punch from Bred with Bushin Senpuu Kyaku.

"Don't count on it, buddy boy," Maki shouts as she continues to glare at Bred, watching to see what he's got planned for her. He's gonna attempt to deck her in the face, seems simple enough, so Maki attempts to drop to the ground and spin around using her tonfa, creating a human whirlwind. Except her timing is way off, and she gets clocked in the face. She staggers backward, holding the side of her face in pain. When she recovers, she rubs the spot she got hit at and ows. "Cheap shot, but typical of you!" She snaps.
Bred grins cockily as Maki gets clocked by him, rolling his neck around on his shoulders. He steps forward with a quick swipe of his hands, attempting to lift Maki's arm with one hand, chopping at her ribs with the other. "Eat a fuck sandwich!" he spits, blood oozing down his face.
COMBATSYS: Bred successfully hits Maki with Heart Punch.

Bred 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Maki
"Nice language you've got," Maki replies angrily before bringing her tonfa up to attempt to deflect Bred's punch away. Except it's a bit too high, and Bred manages to strike Maki in the chest. She keels over, having the wind knocked out of her, and naturally with her hand over her heart. (Well, more like her lungs, but still.) When she does finally recover, she looks up at Bred with a real nasty glare and says, "OK, I'm done playing nice!" And then attempts to clock Bred in the chin with a swift upwards strike of her tonfa.
COMBATSYS: Bred blocks Maki's Genkou.

Bred extends his arm, knocking the tonfa aside and leaving a nasty bruise on his flesh. "And I'm done toleratin' yer stupid ass!" He lunges in with a fast jab with his right hand, before he follows up with two jabs with his left hand. "Yew stupid Jap bitch!"
COMBATSYS: Maki dodges Bred's The Big Easy.

All right, now you've REALLY made Maki mad, Bred. And when she's mad, she really gets more violent. Which means that Bred had better be on the lookout.
Maki swiftly ducks down to avoid the punches and then swiftly returns to a standing position, and then, without missing a beat, proceeds to attempt to strike Bred in the side of his face, follow up with a kick to the left side, and finish it off with another throw.
COMBATSYS: Bred Toughs Out Maki's Armed Combo!

Bred gets smacked in the face, his head snapping to the side with a flash of spittle spewing from his mouth. He then gets kicked in the side, before getting tossed. He rolls across the ground, skidding and coming up back to his feet. "It's time to take out the trash!" he drawls, leaping into the air and lashing out with his leg, aiming at Maki's face.
COMBATSYS: Maki dodges Bred's Bayou Bounce.

Bred 0/-------/=======|===----\-------\0 Maki
When Maki's mad, you really don't want to underestimate her. In fact, when she's mad, she hits harder and moves quicker on her feet. Meaning that Bred's incoming kick is gonna hit nothing but air... and maybe an unlucky spectator. As for Maki herself, she's planning to show Bred that you don't insult her nationality and expect to get away with it. She attempts to, literally, kick him in the ass from behind!
COMBATSYS: Maki successfully hits Bred with Strong Kick.

Bred 1/---====/=======|====---\-------\0 Maki
Bred gets kicked in the ass, flying forward and falling on his face. He stands up, limping a bit, and reaches into his boot as he gets up. He pulls out a switchblade, flicking it open with a click, and squints at Maki. "That was the las' straw!" He jabs forward with his blade, attempting to cut Maki open.
COMBATSYS: Bred successfully hits Maki with House of the Rising Sun.

Bred 0/-------/-------|=======\-------\0 Maki
Maki sees the incoming blade and tries to move out of the way, but it's no use. The blade gets her and cuts into her belly. She reels back and holds her stomach, her teeth clenched as she tries to endure the pain. She then breathes deep, trying to take her mind off of that and get back into this fight.
COMBATSYS: Maki focuses on her next action.

Bred grins at Maki. "There yew go, a nice little scar to remind yew of me!" He lashes out with a kick, his leg swinging out and aiming to slam Maki across the jaw. "Yew don't know who yer messin' with, baby!"
COMBATSYS: Maki interrupts Light Kick from Bred with Bushin Senpuu Kyaku.

"I've got plenty of things to remember you scum by," Maki says as she comes back up, the bleeding starting to slow down surprisingly. She's starting to feel a little run down, but the adrenaline rush she's got from all this fighting and taunting prevents her from throwing in the towel. Besides, she doesn't want to be humiliated by this guy.
When he attempts to throw a kick at her, Maki attempts her whirlwind maneuver again. And while Bred does connect with his foot, Maki manages to get him out of the way with her whirlwind kick, spinning on her tonfa like a top.
After that, she gets back onto her feet and glares at Bred. "Had enough yet?" She asks, still scowling.
Bred gets kicked in the jaw, a tooth flying out amidst a splurch of blood out of his lips. He staggers to the side, falling down briefly. He reaches into his suspenders and pulls out a flask, slurping at it. "I've had enough when I say I've had enough!" he spits at Maki, before chugging more of his flask.
COMBATSYS: Bred gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\ < > ////////////// ]
Bred 0/-------/---====|=======\==-----\1 Maki
Tying one on during a fight? In a public place? Well, the Mad Gears generally don't always play by the rules, and that's why Maki always has a negative view of the Mad Gears. When Bred loses a tooth, she looks at him and says, "Looks like you're gonna need a visit to the dentist soon," With a scowl still on her face. Maki doesn't let Bred finish his drink, though, choosing to commence attack. She rushes at Bred and then suddenly flies through the air directly at him with her leg outstretched in a flying kick!

Bred climbs back up to his feet, getting kicked in the chest. A rib snaps, but he remains standing, keeling forward as he exhales air. With a dark growl, he reaches out for Maki, attempting to grab her and lift her in the air, before falling down backwards and slamming Maki into the ground. "JES DIE ALREADY!" he grunts loudly.
COMBATSYS: Maki dodges Bred's Gutwrencher Suplex.

"I'll die when my time comes. And let me tell you, foulmouth, that my time is nowhere near coming up. You, on the other hand, might be coming up on your time prematurely if you don't watch it. Especially with a mouth like yours," Maki shouts. When Bred attempts to grab Maki for a suplex, the blonde-haired ninja jumps back a little, meaning that Bred catches nothing but air. Which is what he'll be going into if he doesn't stop pissing Maki off. For now, Maki takes a moment to close her eyes and focus on her mind, causing an aura to form around her.
COMBATSYS: Maki gathers her will.

Bred 0/-------/-======|=======\=======\1 Maki
Bred narrows his eyes as an aura comes into being around Maki. "That's it!" he sneers, as he steps forward. He swings his foot up and forward, aiming between Maki's legs with a boot. "CUNT PUNT!" he cries, being a cruel jackass, as usual.
COMBATSYS: Maki interrupts Low Blow from Bred with Bushin Gou Rai Ha.

OK, now THAT is a word you NEVER use with Maki. Not unless you have a death wish... as in a death by severe thrashing by Maki. The blonde haired woman literally blows her stack as she rushes at Bred, attempting to deliver a swift flurry of tonfa strikes and kicks at him. Unfortunately, his kick does hit her, but not before she's landed a few good blows on him.
Maki goes up into the air, but lands on her feet, glaring at the badly beaten Bred. "I _TOLD_ you to watch your language, now you're paying big time!" She shouts furiously.
Bred gets kicked all over the place, his arm breaking and his knee rupturing as he falls to the ground in a bloody messy heap. He groans as he lays on his back, and as a final gesture, flings his blade at Maki's chest.
COMBATSYS: Bred has reached second wind!

Still going at it, eh? Well, Maki's still got it going as well. She sees the knife coming at her, and she doesn't need any more scars on her, thank you very much. She swiftly jumps out of the way and then pauses, staring down at Bred, wondering if he's gonna try it again.
COMBATSYS: Maki focuses on her next action.

Bred 0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0 Maki
Bred climbs to his feet, limping a bit because of his bad leg, his broken arm hanging at his side with a bone sticking out. "Yew stupid, stupid bitch," he rambles, stepping forward and aiming to smash his forehead into Maki's face.

"Still going? Well, then bring it on!" Maki says, watching as Bred attempts another punch. But this time, Maki's gotten a little too cocky and underestimated Bred's speed and punching. She gets clocked in the face... again. The stars are in her mind, and her nose is bleeding a little, but that doesn't stop Miss Genryusai from regaining her stance. "OK, one of us has to go down, and it ain't gonna be me!" With that, Maki attempts to jab (literally) Bred in the chest with the shorter edge of her tonfa.
COMBATSYS: Bred blocks Maki's Weapon Jab.

Bred raises his arm, blocking the tonfa with a grunt that leaves a bruise on his remaining arm. Still bleeding pretty badly, he limps forward, attempting to latch onto Maki with his teeth and bite her. "ARRRRRR!"
COMBATSYS: Maki interrupts Quick Throw from Bred with Light Kick.

Bred 0/-------/--=====|===----\-------\0 Maki
OK, now that's truly dirty fighting right there. Maki feels the teeth sinking into her arm, and attempts to break free. In doing so, she throws a kick at Bred's stomach, knocking him back a little while giving her some more space to breathe. But the bitten spot hurts like hell. "You bastard, I'm gonna knock every tooth out of you for that!"
Bred gets knocked backwards as he's kicked in the stomach, the blow causing him to vomit up a large amount of brown-red fluid that wreaks of whiskey. "RRRGH!" He leaps into the air with a limping groan, his good leg flashing out, before he falls to the ground.
COMBATSYS: Bred can no longer fight.

Maki steps out of the way as Bred goes to the ground, collapsing in an unconscious heap. By now, the Metro City police and EMTs have arrived. They'll probably get Bred to a hospital and then take him to the police precinct to book him... and then put him back out on the streets since it's next to impossible to keep the Mad Gears off the street. For now, Maki simply looks at Bred, still scowling even as the blood runs down her face and a little from her belly as well. "You and your foul mouth had best not bump into me again. Otherwise, you're really gonna regret it!" And with that, the crowd starts to cheer wildly, people offering Maki some Gatorade and bandages. Maki accepts, asking to move to another spot away from where the excitement is... or was.
