Description: The SNF as posted! WINNER: SADA, LOSER: DAN, EVERYONE ELSE
Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oh crap. Some bassbeat techno is entering the Howard Arena, a huge boombox carried by none other than Dan "The Man" Hibiki as he walks in like he owns the place, once hand on his belt as he shoulders the giant radio.
"Call on meeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
"Call on me."
Oh jesus. It looks like he's making his entrance to the contender's belt world championship title match in flashy new duds. Mostly it looks the same as his old Gi, except for two awesome new additions. On his back is a glittery pink Kanji symbol. The symbol of Saikyo Ryu. It glitters in the light as the sequins that make it up catch them.
"Call on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
"Call on me."
A similar string of characters runs down the left breast of his gi, "Hi Bi Ki". Yep, that's Dan alright. Lookin smart, lookin' for love. Throngs of fans try to touch his silken hair and silken Gi but like water off a duck's back they can't find a single grip of purchase. His nostrils flare. His grin broadens. He sets the boombox down. Yes. Dan Hibiki is here. And ready to get PHYSICAL. Rippling muscles are a go.
"Push me... And then just touch me. So I can get my.."
Oh boy!
A championship, Sada thinks: An opportunity to truly seize the media's spotlight and clarify the importance of... 'them' for the future! Yes, she thinks, it will be mine.
It will certainly not be Dan Hibiki's!! Sada is wearing her usual sukeban outfit, sleeves rolled up and skirt trailing down far enough to almost brush the ground. As she stalks into the ring, she doesn't carry an instrument case any more, instead just whipping around the weighted end of the chain with swooshing, sweeping little arcs that threaten occasionally to maim a passing film crew member.
"So are you going to stand there and shake your ass at all of your admirers," Sada says with a toss of her hair, "or are you going to put it down and get ready to get beaten down?" She stands up on the balls of her feet, then settles back down, as she stops spinning the weight, leaving it dangling on several feet of chain at her side.
Opposite of Sir Flashy over there, one of Dan's opponent's enters the ring shortly after he does, he's wearing his normal every day street clothes, nothing glittery or sparkley on the the german-american teenager.
Tyler makes his way to the center of the arena quietly, and he probably doesn't get a huge response from the crowd as perhaps some of the other fighters, he's a relatively unknown competitor -- infact, this would be his first actual official competition-like, sanctioned? fight. He's definately not used to the crowd atmosphere, but as he looks around the arena there's a small grin forming at the corner of his mouth -- now this is definately something a person could get used to, but then again, the boy is developing some butterflies in his stomach at this point, looking a bit pale and jittery.
Tyler pretty much just keeps his head down as he makes his way to the fighting area where he sits down at his corner, kicking off his sneakers and pulling out some pads for his knees and feet. He puts on his pads while looking at the other competitors curiously.
Tyler overhears Sada, chuckling at her comments to the flashy man. He just shakes his head in disbelief, thinking to himself -- well this is certainly getting competitive already.
It was an important event for the Saturday Night Fight community. The contenders belt was up for grabs and there was going to be a battle royal to find out who was deserving of the title. The best of the up and comers, the rising stars of the fighting world, would be there today. So the question is this: What is Kaida Inoue doing here?
It's a confounding situation for the teenaged swordfighter. She had come to the correct place, to Howard Arena to await her chance to fight only to learn that only a single event was being held here today, the championship itself. After a quick discussion with an official she found that she wasn't sent to the wrong location- she need only sit tight and get ready for the match to start.
Someone must have either made a large error or have been seriously impressed when she signed up, she thinks. This isn't only to be Kaida's first shot at a title, but her first Saturday Night Fight and her first sanctioned and professional combat experience. Ever.
A deep breath is taken and then let out as the music starts. Sounds like it's time. She hadn't thought she'd be nervous about her first professional fight, but these were not the circumstances she had been expecting! Breathe Kaida, breathe. Forget the crowds, forget the cameras. Don't think about the title at all. Focus on the fighters.
Taking it for her turn to enter she strides towards the center of the arena and the slate stage she'll be fighting on. There are cheers, but for the fight rather than for Kaida herself. "Who is this person?" people in the audience ask. "I've never seen her before." A hand lifts in a light wave to the crowd on impulse, and she hops up onto the stage and immediately begins surveying the others she sees.
She sees Sada, twirling a chain and seeming ready and eager to get started. Strong, immovable. She sees Dan, self-confidence and ego pouring out of him with a radiance that's hard to stand up against, looking like he knows he's going to win rather than just thinking it. He even has time to showboat. She sees Tyler, enjoying the limelight, looking about how she feels.
"Breathe..." she reminds herself. Don't tense up; just relax. Be on guard, remember your training. If they sent you here you must have a right to be here, she tells herself. Time to prove them right. A sharp exhalation made with a purpose. She sets her feet and stands solid on her part of the stage, arms crossing down over each other and going to each of her hips, fingers wrapping around the hilt of her bokken and drawing them together in a fast motion. A spin of the wooden swords is given with a flourish for the sake of the audience, and she forces a tense smile onto her face. "I can do it. I can win this."
Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Dan does a little handjive as he shakes the fight into him before sliding into his trademarked fighting stance, putting all his arms up where people can see them and they can guard his beautiful face, "Shaking my ass? I'll shake my ass all I want. I can shake my ass and win at the same time. This fight is NOT EVEN A CONTEST, look at this motley crew. Shoooooooooot."
Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. He points at Sada, and then pulls his fingers towards him and urges her, "C'MON! GET SELWIAUS!" Oh yeah, contender title on the line? You better believe Dan is pulling out all the stops when urging people to attack him so he can show them how AWFUL they are. Saikyo fame is ON THE LINE!

Tyler digs around inside of his backpack to pull out his elbow pads, sliding them on over his well, elbows. Then he reaches into that same backpack but a different pouch to pull out a dark red mouthpiece and slides it into his mouth. He certainly takes his health seriously, and unlike Dan, he really doesn't want to get his handsome features messed up.
Tyler sets the backpack beside the stage and then hops up onto it. He adjusts his elbow pads and kneepads as he looks around. He glances toward Dan as he insults them, that peering at him with a piercing gaze... "Not a contest? I'll show you whose not a contest!" Oh, that gets Tyler a little riled, there is no way in hell he is going to let this hollywood showboat insult him like that!
Tyler doesn't waste anytime from there, he's ready to FIGHT! And his focus is set on Dan now... He takes off in a dead sprint across the room at Dan, like a 100 meter dash as he shoots out of the box like a dart, head down but eyes on the prize -- as soon as Tyler gets within range of Hibiki, he takes flight -- soaring through the air as his momentum carries him the rest of the way in Dan's direction, a knee lifted high, he's definately looking to mess up that 'pretty' face.
So much for those butterflies... To Tyler, a fights a fight, no matter where it is, and he's always read to fight; besides, that's what they're here for isn't it? That's what Tyler is here for, he doesn't care about the Contender Belt, he just wants to smash some skulls and test his mettle against other competitors.
"Selwiaus?!" Sada screeches alound as she lets out a short, sharp cackle. "I'll get 'selwiaus' when I drink your blood, pink boy!" She must be trying to adjust her image? Or maybe it's just the thrill of battle, the thrill of the fight, standing up to the challenge of her --
Rival.
Sada looks incredulous as this big gangly white man rushes in, aiming to strike at Dan Hibiki before she can even get off her own brutal, punishing strikes. "Oi!" she shouts at him, twsting slightly to the side as she starts spinning up the weighted end of the chain again.
"Wait," she begins, before the spun-up chain is flung forwards with a shimmering rattle of glossy chrome chain, directly at Tyler's waist! Hopefully it will wrap around that waist as Sada yanks back, concluding, "YOUR TURN!" - ideally to punctuate his trip to the arena floor (and possibly away from Dan "The Man" Hibiki.)
Way over there near one of the corners, Kaida appears to have been forgotten. No one has paid much attention to her, and she has done little to call attention to herself. And that's just fine for her. If no one is paying attention, that means there's a chance to be sneaky. Let them all brawl against each other while she picks at them while their attention is off of her.
Breaking into a fast jog she hustles her way across the stage in a roundabout manner as if drawing an arc, swords swinging back and forth as she pumps her arms. Her target this time is Sada, the current back of the train that's been created. Once lined up she kicks on another burst of speed to try and catch up, pulling her right arm back as she makes her chain attack against Tyler.
A moment later she swings, trying to smack the Seijyun student in the top of her back, her other arm swinging in immediately after and heading for a sharp blow to her side, the first sword brought up defensively. So begins a rapid fire series of relatively weak attacks, all aimed for Sada's blindside as her chain is, hopefully, preoccupied. "Ya! Ya! Yayayayaya!"

Oonce, Oonce, Oonce, Oonce, Oonce. As Sada does not come at him, but another young whippersnapper, Dan turns on his heels to the incoming TYLER! His hips still popping and locking with the Techno BEAT in the air, "Oh hey, so it's you that wants a little SAIKYO STYLE? Well!" Dan steps back a few steps, ready to launch himself into the air as his hips twist and spin in a crazy cartwheel. A group of fans hold up three signs in the crowd as Dan moves...
Smokin'
Sick
Style!
Unfortunately as Dan's cartwheel starts to turn into a roundhouse kick in the air, his crotch meets painfully with Tyler's knee and he drops to his own, gargling out some sort of curse, and the three signs drop.
Dull, a fan raises sheepishly.
Oh screw you, sheepish fan!

Tyler was focused on one target, having totally forgot about the other two competitors for a moment as he went after Dan, thus allowing Sada to wrap that chain about his waist successfully and pull at him -- but with his current momentum, he's able to stay on target, AT LEAST for the most part, except that with Sada's help, Tyler's knee is instead impacting Dan in a rather sensetive area.
After his attack on Dan, and being pulled by Sada's chain-string, he ends up barreling over Dan and landing on the stage quiet harshly on the back of his neck and shoulders.
Tyler quickly reaches for that chain before she can pull it back, and as he scrambles to his feet he tries to yank her off balance by playing tug-o-war with her own weapon, though he's really attempting to pull her flat onto her face.

Sada is pleased that Dan is doing poorly, OR WOULD BE - but she's being attacked. As Kaida, the new arriver, comes towards her, Sada's head swivels around. Swords, she thinks, with a surge of hatred - damn those things! She tries to crouch low, kama at the ready, but her riposite of a strike goes wide, perhaps too tangled up in Tyler to operate properly. "Bitch!" she cries, even as the swords slice into her uniform and beneath it, her personal tender flesh!
Of course a little skin and some blood don't hurt the rating. Kaida's motion carrying her away from Sada gives the girl enough time and brain power to actually worry about him - with a complex motion of the wrist, she snaps the chain, first loose, and then out of his grasp. "Ha ha!" she jeers. "This is a wide open space - Both of you can just pray to nick me until I get sick of it! All I have to do is wrap you up and cut you open!"
Metaphorically, presumably.
Yikes! That was a close call- it wouldn't have been very fun to get slashed open with a kama before she could get her own strikes in, Kaida thinks. But seeing as it missed she follows through with her motions, ending in a defensive posture. "Don't take it personally. If you leave yourself that open I'm going to capitalize on it." Stepping backwards she sweeps her eyes quickly across the battlefield, ignoring the crowd and the signs they're holding up.
Dan's recovering from a painfully placed blow, Tyler tried to drag Sada to the ground by her own weapon, and Sada is right there in front of her taunting. "Go ahead and try it, but if you're going to talk like that be ready to back up your words!" She jumps forward and attacks, lashing out with one bokken and aiming for that kama rather than flesh trying to give it a hard smack to occupy it and take it out of the picture, her other arm swinging in a high arc and coming down hard to try and land a hard diagonal chop at the base of the other teenagers neck, "Take this!"
Dan gets back to his feet. What's this? No attacking? Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Oonce. Well it's time to let this good deed not go unpunished. He looks around the contenders and decides to single out a single target of opportunity. And that target is....
Tyler, "Yo kid!"
A punch with sucker written all over it. The fiercest of punches as he closes the distance between him and the elbowpadded fella. One that rips through the air and looks like it will SHATTER WRISTS! Dan's wrists, to be exact. So twisty this punch is. But hey, if that's what Dan wants to pack, that's what Dan wants to pack.
"This... is going... to make you freak." oonce oonce oonce oonce.
COMBATSYS: Tyler endures Dan's Kyuukyoku Tenchi Gadou Zuki.

Tyler fights back and forth for a moment with Sada before that chain is whipped out of his hands, he exclaims,"DAMN" after it slips through his fingers.
Seeing as how Kaida is keeping Sada occupied, he might as well work on --- Oonce oonce, POW!
Tyler is rocked by Dan's punch, the boy's head whips back, then forward again as he regains his balance. Lowering his head, his gaze locked on Hibiki now...Assuming Hibiki knows what chi is, because the young german-american looks pretty ticked off right about now after that sucker punch by Dan. His body starting to glow a fiery crimson red, gritting his teeth Tyler then shoots forward in a flash toward Dan. Shoulder and head lowering, eyes still on the prize, locked on Hibiki as he attempts to bull rush Dan, not just trample over him but he's going to try to pick the man up and carrying him for a short distance before driving the man into the floor with as much force as he can muster, or at least that's the plan here.

Kaida's incoming strike gets a glance at the side from Sada, who then simply - isn't there. She leans ahead, Kaida's strike hitting her long hair as she lets out a throaty 'u fu fu', one leg spreading out as she spins around, the chain following afterwards. "I think I won't!"
The kama is waggled as Sada takes a shuffling step back, her skirts hiding her legs' exact position. "Oooh - so, you use a two sword style, huh? Why don't you use a third sword in your mouth - wouldn't that be fifty percent stronger?! Or at least thirty three percent - depends how you--"
Sada's skirt ruffles as if to foreshadow a snap kick upwards. This is not what happens, though, and instead the glimmering steel of the kama arcs out to try and slice a line along Kaida's right forearm: "SLICE it!"
COMBATSYS: Kaida effortlessly blocks Sada's Medium Strike.

A pursed frown forms on Kaida's lips as the sword slides through the hair without effect, making the attacks a waste of her time. "It took you that long to notice I'm using two swords? I feel sorry for whoever trained you, it must be a real pain trying to teach someone as inobservant as that!" Gripping her swords and holding them in front of herself, she lets out a laugh. "You think I wield the second sword to become stronger? Learn your tactics, my second sword sword is clearly-"
The kama swings in and Kaida spins out of the way as if reacting to the incoming kick, one of her bokken raising and slapping away the kama as it carves towards her arm, letting the cool steel only knick her as it passes, "for defense!" Stepping to the side and twisting on her heels her rotation continues, the bokken in her other hand coming around to try and smash into Sada's side, wood aiming for ribs. Connect or miss she pulls that sword back and the other one comes in from an opposite angle. Should this second one hit they'll be not only the blunt impact of wood on flesh and bone, but an explosive eruption of white chi- possibly even enough to knock Sada away from her. "Banishing Blade!"

Oonce, oonce, oonce. Dan is slammed into the ground with a mighty sound. Suddenly eurogate blasts from the boombox. Aw, yes! Beat slicing! Awesome. High pitched synths that are SWEEPING THE NATION! Wait a second!!
"EVERYBODY'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TO FEEL GOOD!"
As a man and a woman in a park somewhere fly remote control planes and make a love connection, so too does Dan make the connection that he's not going to win with this sloppy fighting. He twists out from under Tyler in a wiry roll of pink and flesh, before corkscrewing into a tight point of energy. As the techno gets more frantic, so comes the attack.
Dan's fist launches him into the air with him spinning like a rocket beneath it. HOPEFULLY if all goes according to plan, he'll be dragging tyler up with him. After all, it's no fun being in a gang of one.

Tyler tries to drive Dan home, but apparantly the youth is being being driven as he's nailed by Dan's attack, sending him flying skyhigh. His head whips back from the blow, and it would be one of those good times in a movie where it was a slow motion sequence as blood and saliva shoot in every direction from Tyler's mouth and nose, and then rapidly switch to normal mode as he's falls back to the ground in a heap. It's times like these that Tyler is glad he is wearing that handy mouthpeice.
Tyler slowly pushes up off the ground after that one, rising to his feet, fists clenched, a bit dizzy as he stumbles around a little. He shakes his head, trying to rid himself of any cobb webs, and then he raises his fists up infront of him. So far, he's been a little ball of adrenaline, but after that shot, he's become aware that random acts of violence isn't going to get him very far, he needs a strategy... like right now. But in the mean time, why not throw this guy off his game by taunting him back a little? That's what it...
"Is that all you got, sweetheart?" Tyler summons forth a wad of blood and spits it off to the side, grinning sheepishly. "That was a pretty good manuever there, /Sugar/ Ray, too bad you hit like a girl..... Wimp." He'll just sit back, catch his breath, and hope that Hibiki doesn't pull another attack off like the last.

"Oohhhh," Sada says, eyes going wide, before she twists around. The chain suddenly moves ahead of her as she steps back, briefly tangling up Kaida's sword arms! The chain isn't there for long, but her burst of ki goes wide, even as Sada slashes across the enemy's forearms with the kama. "Please forgive my ignorance!! And I am sure you will not be offended - if I explain the kusarigama!"
The chain is pulled tighter to add insult to injury (or possibly injury to injury): "This long chain and sharp object were used widely, in the past - in our nation's history - to fight those who thought, ho ho, the power of a sword makes me invincible!" Sada grins, baring her teeth in a somewhat unfriendly manner. "Certainly, in some situations, they were right. Or else we would not speak so often /of/ swords..."
The chains yank back as Sada twirls around, calling as she flicks blood off the kama (if maybe not much) "But all THAT means is that they never perfected their technique!!"
Struggling to free herself from the chain, Kaida finds herself singularly unable to respond to the kama attack while she's bound, her attack wasted while she gets a rather painful gash slashed into her arm, red quickly soaking into her dress and staining it an ugly color of purple. More skin and more blood- the crowd is going to love this.
Grunging as the chain binds her arms together even tighter, Kaida lets out a single noted laugh at the haughty weapon explanation, "If I thought myself invincible I'd have better things to do than fight for sport on television, and I'm sure the same is true for you!" The fact that her weapon is made specifically to combat against swordfighters like hers isn't beyond her, however. Maybe that's why she up and abandons the fight against Sada, for the moment.
But no, that wouldn't quite be true. This isn't a pair of one on one matches, this is a free for all, and she's not going to make a lair out of herself by reneging on her earlier comment on attacking targets of opportunity. And there's Tyler, standing there with his guard down and smarting off to Dan, apparently oblivious to everything else going on around him. So she spins away from Sada and attempts to circle around her, making a beeline for his back.
Stashing one of her swords into the belt around her waist, uncharacteristically leaps into the air and takes a double handed grip on her remaining bokken, swinging downward in a savagely powerful slash that's more suited to the style of her sister. "Forgetting something?!" She shouts, as she and the sword come down.
Hey that kid's taking a break? Well that's no good. Not for Dan who is IN IT TO WIN IT! So in it to win it he is that his boombox mixtape has now switched to NORWEIGAN ULTRA BLACK SPEEDEATHMETAL. Oh the gutteral growls and the double bass pedals. It's like being inside a room filled with drums and the room is in a drum itself.
Once more he flicks his hips back before vaulting forward, spinning in the air at Tyler three times in a series of roundhouses that defies the laws of physics and propels him forward even though they would really put backspin on his pink-clad moneymaker.
Ah well. Dan can do anything, even DAN DAN KICK. Oh man, woe be unto Tyler if those feet hit, they're very bare and that looks like Dan's normal M.O. ATHLETE'S FOOT MUCH?

Okay, well, Tyler certainly wasn't expecting to get jumped on by everyone at once here...
First that girl with the wooden swords bonks him a good one, uhm, OW!
Secondly, Dan comes flying in ... WTF? Spinning kick of ... EEWNESS? Gross! Athlete's foot... And what's Sada doing? Well, suprise suprise, she's not attacking him, though she probably would if she had the chance to right now.
Tyler's head, body, what have you is tossed, whipped around, and battered in every direction and angle imagineable... Some pretty devastating hits too. But the american youth isn't going to go down that easily! No way! Running on fumes, Tyler is bound to take someone down with him while he still has an opportunity to! And as far as Tyler is concerned, well, he's going to direct his fury on .... Dan! Just because he didn't like the showboat, and well, getting kicked in the face several times by someone who has poor foot hygene pisses him off to no end! More than getting backstabbed even!
So, in the end, Tyler stumbles forward toward Dan... He starts off with a jab, following by a wildly swung hook, and then finished off with a rock-solid Uppercut. He measures, he weighs, he tries to knock Hibiki out. If Tyler isn't going to win, then he's certainly not going to let /this flashy man/ win either, if he can help it that is.
After getting off that familiar 1-2-3 boxing combination, Tyler then drops face first into the floor.
Out cold.

Sada is left alone for a moment as Dan unleashes his MAD SKILLS on Tyler, aided by the sword woman. Sada lets herself breathe in and out for a moment; a little respite is OK, even as the sword girl throws herself at the white man.
NONETHELESS: She doesn't like to have more than a breath's space, because it risks her losing her edge of outrage. And she can find a good reason to pick it back up, too! "Oh, aren't YOU a nice little person! You should learn something, Sword Girl. HERE, let me teach you!"
Sada doesn't actually step forwards, instead hurling the weighted end of the kusarigama after Kaida; her target is the girl's upper body, around the shoulders or chest, after which she gets yanked unceremoniously forwards, hopefully to the cold ground. Maybe even onto the bokken for impromptu apology to her ancestors!? "Don't turn your back on the enemy!!"

The bokken makes a loud THWACK as it cracks against Tylers collar bone, the weapon sliding across after the blow rather than slashing through as a bladed sword might. It's easy to do with so much force behind the attack, and unfortunately for Sada it leaves her in a specifically good position to deal with her attack from behind. The downward force of the blow is quickly transmuted into a spinning and upward force as it comes around, Kaida's footwork and strong arms throwing her into a 540 degree spin, the wooden bokken smacking into the weighted chain end as it comes back in range and sending it flying back at it's origin with a fair amount of power behind it.
Letting go with her right hand the powerful swing finally ends, and the swordswoman lets out a breath. "Huh. Don't think I don't know better than that already. You should be more careful, walking into traps like that."

The kusari is struck back, Sada's brow furrowing as she's suddenly struck in the shoulder with the lead weight. She staggers back with an oof, neglecting Dan "Dan Hibiki" Hibiki for a moment in favor of sneering at Kaida. "Oh, you've managed to strike back my weapon... Surely, a sign of your great martial talent! With /two/ swords... /and/ your focus on your ki."
Her shoulders roll again as she breathes in and out, steadily. She isn't pressing the attack, although she does sweep the weight around in a slow, slitheringly rattly arc. "Hmm - I wonder if you've got what it takes to attack me when I'm watching you. Things are narrowing down... Though you ARE handling yourself better than that white guy did."
COMBATSYS: Sada gains composure.

Kaida 0/-------/-======|
Oh Dan, poor Dan. He's going to stand there and catch his breath, and everyone is going to completely ignore him. Probably because he isn't being neglectful with his defense while he does it, but even so, there's no love from the girls for Dan in this fight. Maybe he'll have to show 'em who's boss?
"You've got a big mouth. Nice job trying to distract me into making a mistake, but it isn't going to work." Nevermind that vicious counterattack earlier, that had nothing to do with the verbal abuse! Kaida pauses for a moment when Sada throws down her challenge, and then narrows her eyes. "You really want to find out? Fine." Stepping forward once she reaches across her body and grips the handle of her 'sheathed' bokken, "Twin," she whips it out with great speed, a blur of white chi suddenly flaring up around it as it slashes through the air, the energy peeling off of it and shooting off towards Sada in a concussive blast. "Moonlit..." Her other arm comes into play, lashing out a moment after the other and sending a second blast of chi flying off towards her target, "Swords!" Of course all that shouting could have telegraphed the attack. Just a tiny bit.
Dan smiles as his torso goes at a 45º angle to his waist, his ass sticking out behind him, as he gives a Thumbs up, signalling to his fans he's READY TO GO AGAIN. Before he begins running right for Kaida like a freight train, his arms pumping up exaggeratedly past his head and then swingingg down past his hips, his gi obi flapping behind him as he screams, "SAIIIIIIIIIIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
As he closes the distance, he pounds his foot to the ground below him, sending a rippling shockwave about an inch around his foot. Whatever. That's not the attack. SHUT UP. His fist flies out.
"Hisshou!"
And then another fist flies out, before his leg flies out towards a shin, "BURAI!"
Several more flurious punches zip all out of his body, each punctuated by shouts, "RAI RAI RAI RAI RAI!"
Finally he ends in another twirling uppercut, "KEN!"
Those signs come back up, only the second S has changed. Smokin' Saikyo Style!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Kaida 0/-------/=======|
Sada lets out a wild cackle. "It hasn't?!" Her lips pull back in a sadistic grin: "It already has, you idiot!" Of course, her argument is kind of damaged by Kaida preparing to, well, blast her with that sudden duo of blasts. Announcements, she thinks.
The first blur of chi is answered by the simple expedient of leaping, the glossy chain of the Kusarigama stirred but not shattered by the white blast as Sada achieves a vertical leap best defined as 'tremendous'. "Hn -" Then she thinks to herself, twin.
The second strikes her midair and sends her flying back, hitting the ground and, instead of bouncing, rolling. It has put her a nice safe distance from Kaida, though, a distance from which Kaida might feel safe if Sada did not seem quite happy to stand up, leaving her weighty weapon behind and lunging ahead, eyes seeming to burn with outrage.
Or joy. She leans forwards to scoop up the kusari end of the chain weapon, pulling it behind her as she keeps closing distance, before stopping at the last moment and slinging the weapon around by that pivot point, aiming to wrap the sickle-bearing end around Kaida. This, of course, would perhaps get more gruesome, but Sada can see Dan having /a somewhat similar thought./

Kaida 1/--=====/=======|
Incoming! Here comes a raging Dan, right for Kaida after she sends those blasts off towards Sada. She'd love to see how they turn out, but right now she has too much BURNING SPIRIT on her hands to pay attention to them! Clenching her teeth and refusing to budge, she spins to face him and raises the pair of her swords. Fists come streaming at her in rapid succession, and on instinct her arms begin moving to counter, fist meeting wood time and time again as the assault is pressed. The kick comes out unexpectedly but her leg raises and the hit lands in a harder to damage spot, even if she can't tell due to the pain.
Swords still a blur to be moving fast enough to intercept each of those punches the uppercut spins in at her. There's no stopping that with swords, it's too strong. She flips backward as she takes it on the chin, propelled as much by the force of her legs as the impact itself, holding her hands out and catching herself and flipping back to her feet in a single fluid motion.
And then she makes the mistake she won't be forgetting for a long time to come. Extremely confident in herself in this moment she charges Sada, putting away one wooden sword to gain a powerful two-handed grip on the other, a stream of energy trailing out from the weapon as she moves. It swings under and she lets out a loud yell, putting as much strength as she possibly can into the single swing. This one could be incredibly hurtful to Sada if she pulls it off. But the Kursarigama was made to counter exactly this sort of thing. Unable to speed past the weapon it hooks onto her, the chain wraps around.
Suddenly filled with pain with her arms bound she can no longer complete her swing and she simply speeds past Sada. The kama /digs/ into her body as she comes to a brutally fast stop. Face white with wide eyes and clenched teeth, Kaida simply sinks down to her knees, momentarily succumbing to the pain. All that confidence from just a moment ago? Gone.
His attack pushed acide so easily? What? Whatever. Dan begins to mug to the crowd. He still looked awesome while he was doing it. With one thumbs up he turns to the crowd and whoops loudly. Oonce oonce oonce. Oh shit, the techno is back.
For the crowd, Dan busts out his best dance moves, popping, locking, and doing the robot. With a final hands to the sky he throws up a huge stylized S with his arms and screams out..
"SAAAAAAAAAAAAIKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
COMBATSYS: Dan gathers his will.

Kaida 1/--=====/=======|
Sada looks at Dan momentarily as he busts a move. This is something she's probably going to have to deal with in a few moments, but not right now. Build up the heat, she thinks, as she walks closer, reeling in chain as she goes. "Oooooooo," she says, "you don't seem as talky now. What's the matter? I see you're getting on your knees," she concludes as she gets close enough to put a hand on her hip. "It suits you!"
Dan's dancing. Hm. Sada takes one step back, possibly for something gratutious. She breathes in deep, her skirt rustling as one leg draws back, raises around, and then with a booming cry of effort, streaks down in an axe kick aimed at the top of Kaida's head!
Perhaps Howard is paying her to be a rudo.

Kaida 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|
Chained up, a kama stuck in her, and reeling from the pain of it, Kaida can do little the chain is reeled back in- which doesn't feel the best when the other end is still firmly attached. Shaking her head to try to regain some control, she just gives Sada an angry look as she continues to taunt. Seems like it's served her well, though, so she can't blame her for it, even if it's infuriating.
The leg goes up and Kaida's eyes widen again, and she begins the motions to throw herself to the side as the powerful axe kick comes down. But she's too slow- way too slow. Body refusing to cooperate her from the damage already inflicted the kick hits with a devastating precision, the teenager letting out a muted cry as her body is literally crushed into the ground. Her hands clench around her sword for a short moment, and then her entire body goes slack. There's just no way she's getting up after something like that. Her body gives in, and she goes out like a light.

Dan stops his isometric dance routine with a moonwalk, followed by a twirl then a fourty-five dgree lean to the right. As he looks over he gets to see Kaida fall to the might of Sada, and the fact that the fight is getting so near culmination almost makes him fall himself.
He doesn't. He's too smooth for that. Instead he gets straight back up and hurtles toward Sada, his hands reaching out to try and grab the girl who has survived longer than the other fighters. It's not a romance though. It's the set up for a throw. That's right, he's trying to throw her. Trying to grab her shoulders, and toss her right over his! What a jerk!

Sada 1/-----==/=======|=======\==-----\1 Dan
Sada is used to having large hairy Japanese men try to grab her; she's a schoolgirl, after all. When Dan moves in with his exotic, /erotic/ moves, Sada takes a step backwards and squats downwards slightly. This would look strange and uncomfortable... if it wasn't supplemented by the sweep of that sickle up to slash across Dan's arms!
WITH BLOOD
"A ha ha ha! So it's come down to us, Dan Hibiki," she says as she steps back another pace, "you and your "Strongest Style"... Is your dance competition a vital part of it?!"
Dan's arm is left with quite a cut on it but if you want to make omlettes you need to break a few legs! He hops away from the woman with the scythes and raises his eyebrow as she queries him on his style.
"Uhhh, no it's just awesome to dance for your fans because you have them and they love you for it. I got fans you don't even know about all over the place because I'm a champion!"
As he speaks he turns, and his new sequin kanji sparkles in the light even snappier than before. What he launched at Kaida, he launches again.... A shining punch towards Sada's face, with the shout of "HISSHOU!" behind it.
"RAI!" Kick, Punch. It's not in the mind! It's here in the arena that Dan tries to pummel the scythegirl senseless with all of his might.
"RAI!" FIST. FIST. FOOT?!?!
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIKEN!" Did you check the uppercut on the left? Nicely done, Hibiki man.

Sada 0/-------/-----==|======-\-------\0 Dan
Sada's flavor remains impregnable. However, the words of Dan Hibiki cannot penetrate a rudo's heart; her brow furrows and she says, "A champion!? You?! Hah! A champion of BAD HAIR!" Yeah, she thinks, take that. But then he sparkles, and lunges in at Sada with sudden fury!?
It's fabulous, furious, and majestic. Sada essentially gets lucky in having seen the same trick unleased on Kaida not so long ago. That, and she's already got all her crap right there. The shining punch - is wrapped in chains! And then at every sudden flurry of kick or punch she swipes or slashes the sickle blade out, concluding with a twist and release to send the GREATEST WARRIOR to the ground.
With a fate-tempting cackle. "IT'S OVER!!" she screams, ducking the last uppercut and then trailing off into a full on ringing alto bitchlaugh. This goes on for a while.
Dan stays on the ground for a moment. Then he pushes himself up on his bleeding arms. Scrambling to his feet, he wobbles. His vision blurring in a haze of pain and exicetment as he stumbles towards the sickle queen, "Ha. Pretty good I guess,"
He stumbles again moving forward like a zombie, and even groaning, "But it's NOT OVER YET!"
His body squeezes down quickly, his spine twisting as blood wipes across his pink gi, "KOURYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---"
A launch of an uppercut follows this, "KENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
A last-ditch effort, or a way to get the blood flowing, what will it be?

Oh God he's not collapsing yet! Sada feels a moment of terror. She has heard some of the legends of Dan Hibiki, how he channels his dead OYAJI into sheer forward power, enough to give him the strength to fight on against -
DODGE YOU IDIOT she tells her monologuing sense, her hands letting go of the kusarigama as she leaps backwards, landing and skidding on her pert schoolgirl ass as Dan's brutal bone-crushing uppercut totally destroys the air above her!
For a moment, she looks terrified, before calling out, "Is that all you have?!" Still from a seated position.
Dan at this question falls over. OH, RIGHT ON THE BOOMBOX
Dancing is forbidden.
