Description: The 'new' Muay Thai emperor Adon has called out the World's Strongest Woman Chun-Li for a battle in the Neo Leagues, who is more than happy to oblige and resolved to showing more of her face in public venues. It's a swift fight, but in the end, Adon's fierce true colors bleed through--literally. (Winner: Chun-Li)
The Neo League was something that Adon enjoyed very much. It provided him with a wide range of opponents. It allowed him to demonstrate his skill to many people. And most importantly, it gave him an opportunity to secure his position in the world. The loss against Sagat ran cold in his blood. His title of God was no longer bourn by him. And yet, he was still the Emperor of Muay Thai. And in that, the king would hold his title high.
Adon secured second place all too briefly in his win against the Bushin-ryu warrior Maki. Above him was Chun-Li. Adon might have taken his victory to heart, and seek a weaker opponent below him. But Adon was drunk off the win. The Muay Thai demanded to fight her, and he made the location very clear: The central Tai Chi dojo of the Sichuan province. In the courtyard. The heart of the dojo kept a tranquil home, a large garden meant for meditation. Already, the small crew was set up there as Adon stood there, observing the large reflection pool that stood by the garden. He was looking at himself, sneering broadly.
He had forgotten how handsome he was.
Chun-Li made a little promise to herself. If she could, she'd try to participate more in public venues and give more exposure to her fans. Last season, her appearance within the Neo Leagues was a touch small, minimal at best. She had been busy though, sidetracked with Strolheim tournaments and helping out a few friends with their 'problems' with the Syndicate. But now? Now it seemed like her proverbial plate was empty, and she had plenty of time to try and make effort.
So, with a new season of the League in full swing, Chun-Li has opted to take advantage of the fresh start by getting an early lead. Her first fight was with Ken Masters himself, and she was proud of what she'd accomplished against the fearsome Ansatsuken fighter. Surely she'd been getting better!
When the League sent her a challenge invitation to fight Adon, the current King of Muay Thai, in her homeland, she couldn't help but oblige. So, a trip later, the Tai Chi Mistress finds herself at the world-famous dojo. She was a little nervous to be fighting at a place like this; but a deep breath is all it takes to make the World's Strongest Woman find her resolve.
Arriving in the courtyard wearing her traditional blue qipao affair, the Chinese fighter bows her head politely to Neo League crew before she approaches Adon, giving him a respectful space as she comes to pause. "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," the woman offers, lifting her arms and resting a fist against an open palm, bowing politely to the other fighter.
"Please do your best."
Adon doesn't even turn around when Chun-Li approaches him. He was a man of presence. He just watched the koi dance around in the water. The Emperor of Muay Thai always wore boxers to his fights. It was much more... bare than more fighters. But that was how Muay Thai was. Unless you were King, being scantily clad was beneficial. Manners, however, were not.
"Heh heh hah hah haaaaAAAAAA!!!" Adon tilted his head back in high-pitched laughter. "Chun-LI of TAI CHI. Do not REQUEST my BEST. You will GET what you DESERVE!" The emperor looks over his shoulder, twisting his nose up as his face tightens into an intense grin. "And STILL, you DO show RESPECT to the EMPEROR of MUAY THAI. That IS commendable."
Turning the rest of his body around, he slowly circles the girl, aligning both to be parallel to the water as he cased his foe. "But you are too MODEST. MUAY THAI knows ALL about the MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN in the WORLD. Unless, your COMPOSURE reflects your TALENT." The man's eyes burn with a fiery glint. "But I digress. COME. Are you all READY to WITNESS the FALL of TAI CHI?" Adon snaps at the crew. They give a thumbs up, and Adon immediately drops into his stance. Arms drawn up in a very familiar boxing stance, he positions one leg in front of the other, bouncing slightly. "Then PREPARE for the JAGGA of MUAY THAI!!!"
Laughter of that degree was not the sort of response Chun-Li expected nor anticipated from the Muay Thai fighter, nor was the sudden and odd outburst of arrogance. Still, the World's Strongest Woman does not seem upset or flustered by Adon and his lack of manners; if anything, it only encourages the fighter to be that much more accommodating and polite to the man. She smiles kindly.
"Well, I try to respect everyone," she offers, tilting her head lightly. "I see everyone as equal, emperors of Muay Thai or kings of fighters." She doesn't anticipate he'll respond well to it, but it was worth saying. "Thank you for the compliment." If there was one there, somewhere. She thinks there MAY have been...
Finally being regarded, the woman bows her head again as a show of respect, listening patiently to the proud words of Adon. Only when he assumes stance does she as well, shifting a leg out and raising her arms at chest level with a small grin on her face. "Well, as I said, do your best, Adon," she remarks, offering a gesture for him to make the first move. "I'd like to see how my Tai Chi fares against your Muay Thai."
The wry look that expands over the emperor's face is very telling of how Adon feels about Chun-Li's claim of egaltarian respect. Turning his nose up, he just shakes his head briskly. "Then you will LEARN why you must TREAT your EMPEROR above the REST." Was the howl. The red-haired judge moves to the side, and glances over at both fighters. Seeing that both are ready, he drops his hands down. "Begin!"
Adon is already sailing through the air. Whether he jumped the gun or not is not clear. But the speed of Muay Thai is well known, as is the power. The only thing clear is that Adon is moving through the air, drawing both of his elbows back as he leads with his knee. "KEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOO!" Aiming the cap squarely for the torso of the Tai Chi mistress, Adon just sought to take the girl well off guard... and down to the ground.

Grinning demurely and seemingly sincere in its kindness, Chun-Li levels her gaze upon Adon and offers politely, "Well, sorry, but I'm afraid I cannot do that. I have to treat everyone as equal, so... But it's bold and strong of you to want me to give you the utmost respect." Another saccharine smile is delivered to the 'emperor' of Muay Thai. "Good luck, okay?"
The signal comes, and Adon wastes no time. Somewhat startled by his eager attack, she's struck harshly by the knee strike, forced back several feet in an awkward stumble with a quiet groan escaping her lips. She recovers as swiftly as possible, shaking her head out and gingerly rubbing her aching torso. "That was really good," she offers with a genuine smile.
But she does not hesitate to capitalize on the moment. Dashing in after Adon, she attempts to grasp the man by the shoulders and drive her knee into his sternum before she shifts her weight and leg, snapping a high kick up into his face to send him flying into the air. "KI-YAH!"

Chun-Li 1/------=/=======|=====--\-------\0 Adon
Adon's aggressive charge pays off in spades. As his knee smashes into the girl's body, he feels something give way. He hit a weak point. Maybe a broken rib, a torn muscle, or even to the organs themselves. As Chun-Li is knocked away, Adon lands on both feet. As Chun-Li gets back up, Adon is already charging in. He barely recognizes the smile given to him. As he snaps his own arms out, he sees that the World's Most Dangerous Woman is snapping out to grapple him. How droll. Adon lets her get a grip as he prepares to answer her with a smash of his own. However, something disrupts the plan.
As he seeks to tough out the assault, the knee smashes into his chest. The power behind the kicks are astounding, the Emperor is taken by surprise. Tai Chi wasn't meant to hold power. "JAGGA?!" Was the cry as the second kick knocks him over and to the ground. If he wasn't taken off guard, he might have recovered from it quickly. Instead, like Chun-Li, he just staggers up. Adon was furious now, his eyes were burning. And yet, that smile still held there. "WOMAN!" He curses, leaping forward. Flipping forward, his entire body arcs as energy trails from his right heel. As his feet reach an apex above him, he balances himself out. Slowing the right foot down, he winds it up as he levels his body out. With a howl, he attempts to smash it right in the same spot of where he struck before. He would break her, destroy whatever he weakened.
"JAAAAAGGAAAA KEEEEEEEK!"

Chun-Li 1/-----==/=======|====---\-------\0 Adon
Keeping her cool about her--even as Adon seems to get angry after she'd gotten the better of him--Chun-Li maintains her irritating smile as the Muay Thai fighter gets back onto his feet. She nods her head as he cries at her, bowing politely once more as her smile grows. But it fades only slightly as Adon leaps into action, energy and leg both ascending before he tries to draw the energy-laden leg down upon her.
But Chun-Li is quick. Both of her arms snap up as the leg comes down, meant to shield her as she weaves aside. Letting a hand gently push against Adon's leg as it crashes down it redirects the strike, sparing her from the full-brunt of his Muay Thai fury while she gets out of dodge. And the moment she's got room to breathe...
Drwaing a sharp breath past her lips, Chun-Li does not hesitate to move; instead, the World's Strongest Woman throws herself forward with a leg raised, attempting to unleash a flurry of sharp, painful kicks at Adon's chest. But it doesn't end there. After the barrage of lightning-fast kicks her legs shift, the opposite leg snapping upwards to launch the Muay Thai 'emperor' into the air while she drops low. Around the Tai Chi Mistress forms a 'cyclone' of pure energy and dust, chi blazing up from the ground and around her legs. Without hesitating, Chun-Li springs upwards, her body ascending after him and spinning round in place as her kicks aim to barrage and beat into the fighter, to knock him senseless before, finally, both legs draw tightly together and pull in close to her hips. A split-second later both snap outwards, to launch the fighter even further into the air!
"HOUSENKA!!"

Chun-Li 0/-------/------=|======-\-------\0 Adon
Adon may have miscalculated his opponent.
As the Emperor of Muay Thai comes piling in, he watches his force get redirected. Of course. The Thai Chi. He had hoped to overcome it with speed and power, but that came to no avail. Maybe, perhaps, he should increase the speed and power. A single reed by the bank cannot bend forever, can it?
As Adon lands on the ground, he feels his weight being thrown off balance. No. He knew what was coming. His body stiffens as he snaps his head towards the whirling kicks. His smile was gone, for the moment. He just stared intently into the storm as he brought his arms up. With every kick came a rock-hard block with all for limbs. Adon arms and legs were taking the full brunt of the strikes. And yet, he was focused now. Dedicated. His guard never let down, and his arms, though now raw and bloodied, were no less useless.
And with that, the smile returned.
As Chun-Li brought her legs for the upwards kick, the Jaguar simply shuts it down with both arms held tight. As she drops down, Adon moves in. Attempting to catch Chun-Li, he would smash her into his knee, and simply toss her towards the water. Hopefully, the fact he did not collapse under the furious storm of kicks may put her off guard.

Chun-Li 0/-------/------=|======-\-------\0 Adon
For every strike Chun-Li makes, Adon proves his meddle by shielding himself and staving off otherwise nasty and brutal attacks. And when it's finally over she kicks his forearms, her body descending toward the ground. Spinning gracefully as she lands, the woman crouches low, fingertips gracefully touching the earth. Swiftly, almond-brown eyes look upwards--and spy the Muay Thai fighter descending upon her.
She moves as quickly as possible, tumbling swiftly out of harm's way as he attempts to slam into her with a knee. Hopping up onto her booted feet, Chun-Li doesn't hesitate to seize the moment--dashing forward, she attempts to deliver a swift side kick as his ribs before he can recover from the attempt he'd made to smash and toss her into the koi pond. "HIYAH!"

Adon's fury was boiling over with every failure. He had not even managed to exploit any weaknesses on the woman. As he dives in, the girl just tumbles out of his grip. "NNNNAAARGH!" The jaguar screeches, well before even the kick begins to snap out. The emperor tries to dive to the side, but simply fails. The jaguar was fast, but Chun-Li was faster.
There is the a sharp snap as the kick breaks through a rib. But unlike before, Adon doesn't scream. Instead, he staggers back, gripping his chest. He was losing this fight, and embarrassingly so. Like Maki, she was fast, but her kicks... the power she kept in was worse. The Emperor finally howls as he blasts forward. He launches a single punch forward, and then another. He quickly crosses over and elbow, then a kick. Adon was consumed by his rage now, his limbs flailing with the trained precision of a Muay Thai master. His body was burning with energy, his chi consuming his fists and legs as he just kept striking out, ending the frenzy with a flying knee... right where the first knee struck so painfully.
"JAAAAAAAAAAGGAAAA!"

Chun-Li 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 Adon
Watching the Muay Thai emperor back away as he recoils from Chun-Li's piercing kick, the woman does not let her gaze stir from the man. He can be dangerous, she decides, and shouldn't take the man lightly. For all of his posturing, Adon seemed to match the bark with a suitable bite. She has to play it safe.
So when he sees it fit to retaliate against the Tai Chi Mistress, Chun-Li takes to the defensive. With the initial punch she brings up her arms, shielding her body from the blow, then the next, then the kick, staving off the physical strikes and the blazing chi that engulfs his limbs until his ruthless pursuit to deliver pain into the Chinese fighter ceased. Only then does she drop her arms and give them a shaking out.
"That hurt," she offers with a friendly smile. "That was really impressive!"
She move swiftly, her shoulders dropping low as she dashes in and tries to narrow the gap between her and Adon. And should her speed be in her favor, Chun-Li will draw a fist back and unleash it as she draws the opposite arm up and folds it across her brow, the punch aimed to strike Adon swiftly in the chest. "YAA!"

Chun-Li 0/-------/---====|=======\-------\1 Adon
As Adon's furious assault dies down, he just snarls as she, Chun-Li, just redirects his blows as if they were nothing. Sure, her arms were absorbing the brunt of the assault. But he wanted to break her, just destroy her.
Instead, the end result leaves the Emperor exhausted, while Chun-Li? She just gives a cute comment. Immediately, Adon bites. "Shut UP!" A scowl flashes over his face as the smug grin returns. Chun-Li was charging at him. Adon had it. He immediately charged in, his body still limp and loose. He was going to tear her to pieces. Right then, right now. As the woman's fist comes flying in, Adon just tries to push through it, push through and break the woman's pretty jaw-
There is a strange squishing sound.
The fist breaks through the same broken rib as before, and right on through. The compound fracture snaps bone, and with it, skin. Chun-Li does more than draw blood: She opens a new hole into Adon. The Jaguar again screeches in pain as he falls to the ground. Blood runs from his mouth quickly, as he struggles to breath. Lying face down, The judge takes his condition to heart. "Match over! Winner! Chun Li!" Immediately, the medical team rushes over to the weakened, downed Adon. A young nurse approaches him, medical kit on hand to stabilize him as two men with a stretcher comes.
There is a loud scream.
A sudden startled commotion breaks out over the staff. The nurse fall back, her eye swollen and blackened badly. "NNNNEEEEERRRAAAAGH! CHEATER!" Adon draws back from his prone position, the poor nurse knocked away. Already, he was lunging at Chun-Li. The world was turning grey. He was quickly losing the ability to breath. His own blood was freely running down his chest and mouth. And yet, he didn't care. He wasn't fighting to win; the match was over for Adon. No, he wasn't even fighting at all. He was attacking Chun-Li. He was moving to mutilate her, to wound her. He lets loose more punches, more kicks, more elbow smashes; All focused at her torso. As his assault explodes, it fades away as quickly. His blows slow down, and as he shoots forward for his last kick...
Adon collapses, shock taking over.

Shut up? Blinking with muted disbelief at the sudden cry and scowl across Adon's face, the Tai Chi Mistress just shrugs her shoulders and maintains her smile, even as she darts forward and delivers a fierce punch into the angry Muay Thai fighter's aching ribs. As a result, he all but breaks under the sheer force of her practiced fist, brown eyes widening considerably as the man suddenly screams and collapses to the ground. Her eyes slowly turn onto her fist. What on earth..?
The sound of the League officials calling her name draw her attention, the Chinese fighter's eyes glancing toward the source before she offers a tiny, uncertain smile. There's considerable amounts of worry on her soft face, Chun-Li's attentions turning back onto the felled Adon as he lies on his face. Surely the medics will treat him right? Maybe she overdid herself..? Slowly, the fighter turns her back to approach officials.
But a shrill scream and a brief scuffle erupt from behind the woman, her face suddenly filled with disbelief as Adon tears off despite his horrible wound and condition, intent on taking the woman out as messily as possible. She shifts her weight the moment his chi-laced punch snaps out, ducking and gracefully weaving out of harm's way to allow the raging Jaguar to fall to the ground, out of commission.
Awkward silence follows, as Chun-Li looks uncertainly to officials. They nod, securing her win before she frowns and returns the nod. Though she did as well as she'd hoped, things just don't feel right for her. Why was he so mad at her? What on earth did someone like Chun-Li do to Adon..?
COMBATSYS: Chun-Li has ended the fight here.
Adon lies there, his body dead, but his spirit still holding on. The officials, however, take their time in rushing to him. The Emperor burned his bridges when he struck down their nurse. As they move to take care of her, they make sure she is all right, before the chief doctor moves in to Adon.
There, he begins to stabilize his worsened condition. The two men bring a stretcher over, as a judge moves to comfort the distressed nurse. Adon would not be getting back in the ring soon. But when he did, heaven help the next man or woman who would fight him.
The Jaguar was now thirsty for blood.
