Description:
On Gedo Street, the war for the city rages. Right now, a man in a trenchcoat runs away from Gedo High, just minutes after a loud explosion. After he passes, the Spider follows, wielding a Desert Eagle and sprinting along after the mysterious trenchcoat man. The Spider's mouth is cut in a sideways frown of exertion as he chases, taking several potshots at his quarry, but failing to bring him down.

On the one hand, Gedo Street is simply not a good place to go jogging these days, but on the other, given the months that May Lee spent at its school as a student... there's a certain familiar endearment to the area.
Besides, there's an /explosion/ as she nears her alma matter, and if she hadn't been here, there's no telling what might have happened! She comes to a stop before the walkway to the school, gazing at the destruction in wonder for a solid minute or so, a confident smile creeping across her lips as she ponders the vectors of dealing with the situation and a sudden breeze helping the scarf hidden beneath her collar in fluttering freely.
And then there's yet more chaos in the form of a man in a trenchcoat being chased by another with a gun, and once they've passed her by, she's snapped out of her reverie. "Hey! Hey, one of you must--stop!" she calls out as she dashes after them. "Someone's got to account for this! Hey!"
The Spider rounds a corner, and comes to a halt. He puts both hands on his gun and tracks the fleeing man, before firing. The man in the trenchcoat drops to the ground, blown off his feet by the powerful pistol. The Spider chases the man down, ignoring May Lee. As the man writhes on the ground, the Spider frowns at him, standing above him with his smoking gun. "Bad idea," he hisses.
May Lee actually /stops/ when Spider's aim proves true; somehow, she hadn't /quite/ connected the Desert Eagle with the damage it could cause were it to hit, and now that it has... well, she's got to get over her shock before she's finally able to approach the two, smile slipping away into an expression of determination.
"I don't know who you /are/, but that couldn't have been okay!" she calls after him as she runs. She then skids to a stop alongside the pair, scarf coming to rest limply against her back. "You just--he's--" she stammers, gesturing from Spider to the man as she tries to form a thought.
Turning about, the Spider looks at May Lee with disdain, his eyes hidden by a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses. "You shouldn't be here," he says simply. He then raises his hand gun, taking a breath to aim, and pulls the trigger. The powerful pistol bucks in his grip, unleashing a round at May Lee's center of mass. "Too bad for you."

And just like that, May Lee is knocked onto her butt by the unexpected gunshot, groaning and clutching her stomach as she tries to swallow the discomfort. She doesn't return to her feet immediately, but when she does... when she does, she does so full of vigor, rolling back so that she can do a proper kip-up, then snapping her right hand to her chest in a perfect forty-five degree angle. Her back is straight, her eyes are fixed intently on Spider's mirrorshades, and while her continuing to clutch her stomach with her left hand is cutting into her ability to effect the 'conquering hero' thing she's going for, she's still trying.
"No," she states, voice just a touch lower than it was moments before. "Too bad for /you/; when I've brought you to justice, it'll be as a nameless criminal, but you'll have the name of the woman who stopped you and your violent ways ringing in your mind."
With that, she leaps forward, scarf twirling around artfully as she flips through the air. When she unfolds and raises her hands up with the intention of slamming them down into Spider, she finishes by exclaiming, "May Lee: Champion of Justice will defeat you!"
COMBATSYS: Spider blocks MayLee's May Lee- Chop!.

The Spider extends his arm and blocks the chop, his arm knocked away by the force of it as the Spider grunts. "May Lee, huh? I've heard of you. Kim Kaphwan's outfit, right?" he asks, before he lashes out with his hand, aiming at May Lee's throat. "Don't bother answering!"

"Master Kim's pupil in the ways of the hero!" May Lee answers defiantly as she sways to the right. Her hair is ruffled by the passing force of the Spider's strike, but she is otherwise safe, and that fact is bringing a smile brimming with confidence to her lips.
"It's not too late to turn yourself in!" she adds once she's straightened her posture to grab for the hand that the Spider just attempted to strike her with. "You'll have to do community service, sure, and maybe you won't be very good at reading to orphans and the elderly so you'll have to pick up trash, but it'll be better than jail, won't it?" All the same, if she gets a grip on her foe, she'll try twisting at the hips to fling him in a simple over the shoulder throw, her knee lashing out to catch him on the way down just to add an extra bit of discomfort to the maneuver.

MayLee 0/-------/---====|===----\-------\0 Spider
As May Lee grabs the Spider's wrist, he suddenly tugs his arm back and grips her hand with his. "Bad timing," he says with a jagged grin, before thrusting his knee up into May Lee's elbow. He releases the arm and dances backwards, keeping his arms up and guarded. "No jail can hold the Spider!"
There's a groan at the uncomfortable and unexpected impact against her elbow, and it's enough to make her release the hold to quickly shake that arm out to get rid of some of the numbness and pain.
"You're not immune to the law," she remarks, still somehow managing to smile in spite of her continued failure to make any kind of contact. "You won't be able to keep running forever, and when you get caught..."
She launches from the oddly casual, leaned back posture she adopted while nursing her elbow to throw a roundhouse kick towards Spider's gut. "... and a jail /is/ made to hold you, you'll have to change your motto!"
COMBATSYS: MayLee successfully hits Spider with Heavy Kick.

The Spider grunts as he's struck in the stomach by the roundhouse, sliding back several feet. "What jail's gonna hold me? Where you gonna take me? Southtown's in chaos. Why, two dangerous criminals broke out last week!" He then swings his fist at May Lee, aiming to bloody her nose.
COMBATSYS: MayLee endures Spider's Quick Punch.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////// ]
MayLee 1/-------/=======|=======\=------\1 Spider
May Lee actually squints in confusion at that bit of news, her smile slipping. The distraction, atop the Spider's precision timing are more than enough to leave her with a trickle of blood running from a nostril, and her head even snaps back for a brief moment.
"I'll--I'll find somewhere!" she gasps as she takes a couple of steps back and cups her hands over her nose. Upon actually looking down into her hands to see the droplets of blood staining her gloves, though, she's back in the swing of things and her smile is returning to her. As terminally unpleasant as a bloodied nose, sore stomach, and aching elbow /are/, Kamen Rider Den-O's music is beginning to play through her head(and then everywhere else, because she is beginning to hum) as she remembers that there's simply no room to let little things like physical injury be a hindrance.
Her resolve returned to her, she laces her fingers together, replies, "I'll find /them/ after I've made /you/ see the error of your ways, and then I'll find something to do with /all/ of you!" before darting towards the Spider. Her arms are rising above her head in another attempt at swinging both hands in a downward arcing chop, and this time she's shouting as she makes her move in the hopes of focusing her ki.
Also, because it sounds cool.

MayLee 1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1 Spider
The Spider squints at May Lee from behind his shades as he hears May Lee's determination. "Too bad you're so stupid, kid - someone with your guts should be working for R." As May Lee steps in and swings with the devastating chop, the Spider steps in and fires off a powerful punch at her sternum, striking her right in the center of her chest. "Too bad you'll end up dead!"
Between her running into the punch and it being delivered with an appreciable amount of force, May Lee becomes a flailing ball of limbs flying head over heels for several feet away from the criminal. She rolls roughly along the ground upon landing, coughing hoarsely as she pushes herself upright.
She is still, when she raises her head to look up at the Spider, smiling.
"There's nothing--stupid about justice!" she gasps as she pushes herself shakily upright. "And justice pays better than a letter of the alphabet...!" She winces a little as she straightens up and holds her right hand against her chest, but she manages the motion regardless, and is now taking to eyeing the Spider warily and gathering her wits about herself.
COMBATSYS: MayLee focuses on her next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////// ]
MayLee 1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1 Spider
The Spider smirks at May Lee. "I fought for justice when I was your age. All it got me was a whole lotta heartbreak. Sometimes the right thing isn't the right thing in the eyes of the world - a weak, flighty world. You may one day end up being demonized by the very people you wanted to save!" He bursts forward, attempting to grab May Lee in a reverse headlock, before thrusting his fingers into her spine with a hard chop.

MayLee 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|-------\-------\0 Spider
There's an unrestrained scream of pain at the unexpected blow to her spine, and she begins to go limp in the Spider's grip as her vision starts to go black. She, however, has a few bare scraps of determination left within, and so after pushing with just enough force to escape the Spider's hold, she twists her body around so that she's facing him and able to strike at his chest with the edges of her hands. Should she prove successful, she'll grit her teeth and fight the numbness spreading through her body to flip a few feet away before driving herself towards him in a diving kick, instinctually focusing her chi as she falls in the hopes of igniting the Spider's body in explosive fire chi should she actually make contact.
Either way, she will weakly mumble, "Ba--bakusai..." before finally falling into a heap of unconsciousness. Unless she can't even manage to connect with the Spider's chest, anyway, in which case she'll simply fall over then and there.
COMBATSYS: MayLee can no longer fight.

The Spider ignites in an explosive fireball of chi as he's kicked in the chest, flying back into a building. The bricks crack beneath the Spider as his broken shades fall off, and he falls onto his face, smoking. He's out like a light.
COMBATSYS: Spider takes no action.
